Happy to mention it to Burnsy, but I suspect best bet would be an approach to the club by someone like OSC or Senior Tigers?
We need to keep burns and swan well away from our games.....i don't need to know about pies or where they are going for pints after the game....as i say ... Keep them clowns away
Oh I know, same for me I could easily survive without Swanny actually Mind you I rarely listen anyway
I'm in Vietnam and watch all games and pay with my UK bank account. However, I pay via paypal, so it is indirectly coming out of my account.
Couldn't agree more !! It was a pleasure listening to the knowledgeable commentators on IFollow last season who actually focused on the games and knew something about the players. Swan is a disaster who shouldn't be allowed anywhere near a commentary box. And we can do far better than "Burnsey".
As a matter of interest does anyone know which, or if any, other clubs do not allow the local radio station to cover their matches. After all it is the easiest way to ensure you reach the widest audience.
Why? I mean, for crying out loud, it’s basic PR for the club that the radio station pays for! Not forgetting the legions of “elderly fans in a care home”. Virtually every other club in the EFL has a deal with their local station so it must be a good idea - mustn’t it? I can only assume either Burnsy is still halfway on the naughty step (has he still got his credentials to get in the stadium) or someone at the BBC has pissed them off like HCC. Or they’re just being ****s. I must admit I quite liked the iFollow chap, especially when joined by David Meyler. Best of both worlds if he joined up with Burnsy to commentate. Not a fan of Swanny myself.
If there are 1000 radio listeners on matchday (made up figure for illustration) then City get £0 if the game is broadcast on RH (I'm not aware there is payment for local radio broadcast rights, might be wrong) and £200 if 50 listeners pay £4 to iFollow and 950 listeners do something else and lose interest in football. Therefore iFollow wins. Running it like a business.
