On a club level, recently they've started sniping at the manger, okay we do, but all footie fans do. For the media to do it is unconstructive and destabalising. On a personal level, I've had enough of being patronised and placed second to the two sheffield clubs. On a saturday i find myself often in huddersfield or bradford and holme fm and pulse fm get 100% live commentary of hudds and bradford resectively. dearne, I think, don't get the same 'cos radio dee dah proclaim they're doin it. No they're not. We get slotted in a couple of times a year when sheffield clubs have got a sunday game. dig in our board. no more bbc games, give it out commercially, it works everywhere else!!! WE DON't NEED THEM
But it's radio Shitfield...err SHEFFIELD They're bound to come first! Bout time Dearne FM did our commentaries. That Oakwell AM is a joke, you can't pick it up unless you're in the carpark!
And they only do home games. . I know they're are lots of exiled fans, i used to be one, but It's the away games we need, fed up on a saturdy listening to washday at home to whoever blah blah. could the club have the balls to breakaway??? they must have got p*ssed at them to not give them an interview
I aint a radio deedar fan either but they have a right to air fans views and concerns, I have said on many an occasion that we seem to have a Doug Ellis thing going on at Oakwell. Lets not lose sight of the fact that Mr Shepherd is in a position of power like any company director or chairman and sometimes this power gives a rush of blood to the head. not always for the right reasons.
I find the scenario pathetic There is no such thing as bad publicity. For the board to make such a decision demonstrates how good it is at PR! John Dennis will be having a good laugh. As for lack of broadcasting BFC matches. In the 96-97 promotion season and the subsequent season, they hardly missed an away match. Sheffield United are top kids now, and have earned the publicity.
Don't forget too... that the official BFC website commentary is a stream of BBC Radio Sheffield. Therefore, by refusing to speak to them, they're also snubbing the paying subscribers on their own website.
RE: But it's radio Shitfield...err SHEFFIELD you must have a poor aerial,i can pick it up 5 miles away!
