I do believe that not that many householdsowned a TV set in 69.
My Step Father once told me their family was the only house on the street with one at that time and every one off said street came round to watch the game. Think his Father worked for the electric board and that's why they had one.

In 1969 it was very rare to own a colour tv but black and white ones were very common

Probably the same as owning an ultra HD 4k tv today as opposed to a normal HD one

The world cup final was in 66 when owing a black and white TV was fairly common

Anyone old enough to remember the big magnification screen that you could slide in front of the old BUSH TV .e

Even if you had a tele then you wouldn't have seen it the final was 66. You got your mind on other things😀

Think your stepdad is thinking of the 1950s, not 1966. By that year over 15M homes had a TV. There wasn't a kid our class who didn't have a TV.
