Inside The Deal That Nearly Killed The Imps – The ITV Digital Collapse (Documentary)

Given that it’s the close season, I thought I’d try something a little different over on the Stacey West’s , and give a documentary of sorts a bit of a go.

At the start of the 2001/02 season, the launch of ITV Digital promised financial security and games live on TV for many struggling football clubs. Within a year, the venture was liquidated. The fallout saw clubs facing financial disaster. This is the inside story on how a knitted monkey almost killed Lincoln City Football Club.

With exclusive interviews with the people involved, this documentary charts the downfall of ITV Digital, and the efforts to save a community football club, that ultimately brought the city closer to its team.

A huge thank you to Rob, Dave, Gaz and Bubs for getting involved with this one (and providing the photos!) Let us know if you’d like to see more of this kind of long-form video content, and we may well get some more done in the future!
