I run an on-line Lincoln City museum and a few months ago was contacted to ask if I was interested in some old cassettes of recordings from the 1980s. I said of course.
What these recordings were were football reports of Lincoln City's promotion from the old Division 4 in 1981 as well as a 30 minute radio documentary, again from BBC Radio Lincolnshire that was produced in the same period. All these were lost by the station as archiving such things from 1981 wasn't really a priority.
I then contacted the station directly and after a wait, was told that I could actually run these directly on our website. I was actually interviewed about these finds a few weeks ago on the station who used some of the documentary.
On a slightly different media, I also located an old Yorkshire Television recording (that was not used) of the club's promotion game back to the football league in 1988 that apparently was lost by YTV but a copy was found elsewhere. It was apparently recorded for the football club themselves but the club no longer had a copy either.
