Shtanley Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 I've rung in a couple of times, normally after an away game though as I'm listening to it. Normally I just can't be bothered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aizoon Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 What RB wants is people who won't dry up or swear. The quality of what they say is irrelevant.

As one of the callers referred to by the OP, I can tell you that's not true. If you don't like what I have to say, you're free to phone in and have every chance of speaking to Geoff Twentyman. if more fans called in then you'd get a greater range of opinion too.

Lord Northski Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 About time City had their own Radio Bristol phone in after matches. Had to sit in my car for three quarters of an hour listening to tedious interviews with Yeovil, Bristol Manor Farm, Bath And Rovers managers, all of whom I couldn't give too hoots about. RB should have phone in's for each (perhaps not BMF) + Why have we always got to wait until over an hour after every Saturday game for someone from City to come on the radio. Would've loke an interview with the ref too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I quite like to hear you and Ian give an honest account of how you see the games, if more people would phone in they would get to have their say as well, Twentyman would like nothing more to have 5 or 6 callers to his program so it mixes it up a bit, unfortunately like me, they can't be bothered to call in. At least I don't moan about it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Red Rich Posted January 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 Don't get to many games these days due to family commitments so my view would be invalid. Fair play for making the effort to phone in but perhaps they should just give you a reporting job instead??! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Tovey Easy Buddy...I don't now who you are and what you said and have absolutely no idea why you are letting off on me? However let me tell you. They call me to give my opinion and it was arranged that they call today at 5:15 today but the game ran late and the put the Rugby on. They called me three weeks ago and there are a few now laughing that I have had to write this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also like to give some credit to other local teams who have done well, such as Bristol Manor Farm. Would you phone in if we had a hour?

That isn't the case for me, or the other regular callers, as far as I'm aware. No problem! I cant speak for others. But they have my number and I get mentioned on air most weeks, if not spoken to. My assumption is that one of the reasons we hear the same people is they have those numbers as well and I get called to change it up slightly or there is a lack of callers and they can rely on me for a comment on air as I am always available after the game. Home games seem to be sightly more difficult for Radio Brizz as people are coming away from the game where as away games there are thousands sitting around with a phone handy. I am now on first name terms with one of the guys over there (nice bloke) who will ask about my availability on a match day if required. Hope that helps, I do feel special now though. I would add it is very obvious that Sags dont 'call on mass, where as City fans do, with the odd YTFC fan thrown in. Keep the calls coming it keeps em off the air!

Curr Avon Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 If that's your opinion, fair enough. I call in because I enjoy doing it and keep challenging myself to give a colourful and interesting overview of matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mad Cyril Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 I leave games early to beat the queue to get through to our Geoff. Just the other week I was nearly put on air to give my views on our draw with Middlesbrough but for some reason they can't have liked what I was going to say and cut me off.

The Rovers v Mansfield post-match calls were a particular highlight. For balance though, both Mark and Ian are excellent IMO and speak insitefully and intelligently on the phone in.

Ever heard the phrase 'if you've got nothing nice to say, then don't say it at all'? This is a cracking example of that, there was just no need.

I for one City fan have absolutely no interest in non league football whatsoever. I find reports from BMF, Bath FC and W-S-M tedious in the extreme. Each to his own I guess.
