Red_Alligator Posted April 16, 2023 Report Share Posted April 16, 2023 Well, happy retirement to him. I remember him playing for the Gas but have never heard his radio programme. However, I did once appear very briefly with him on local tv, prior to a local derby match. Made my Mum proud it did, so thanks Geoff!

Bristol Oil Services Posted April 17, 2023 Report Share Posted April 17, 2023 Are we going to love bomb Geoff this evening? Are we going to make the effort to actually pick up the phone for once later and bombard Radio Local, inundate the switchboard, and demand to be put through to Geoff to tell him how much we remember him as a somewhat slow and cumbersome long-ball merchant who got a bit lucky playing as high as Division 2 have appreciated his measured coverage and Paxman-esque grilling of Sleepy Steve and Slimy Ashton? And how we will miss him? Will we **** 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like radio Bristol is being butchered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the moment it seems to be mainly the fan content from SOTC. and is of massively variable length. RB seem to be pushing both the City and Gas podcasts in recent weeks, so perhaps that is the way it will be in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost certainly he will be at the Gate for the last home game of the season, so would hope that we would be able to show our appreciation. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now they swing the axe in private. I understand that a huge chunk of local broadcasting is being cancelled. 3 hours ago, Northern Red said: 3 hours ago, Northern Red said: 3 hours ago, Northern Red said: Edited April 18, 2023 by Flounder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron W Posted April 22, 2023 Report Share Posted April 22, 2023 Sad to see Yabbo go with the rest - totally unique character. And Geoff is an absolute master of his art. Let me go and shadow him a couple of times as a young impressionable teenager and was always so generous with his time and expertise. Top man. 5 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Content production" - this is how the corporation undervalues journalism and entertainment presentation. It's "content". 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cidre Monita Posted April 24, 2023 Report Share Posted April 24, 2023 Geoff has been an excellent broadcaster for local sports, particularly football, and is respected by managers, players and fans alike. He will be greatly missed. Thanks for all the dedication and hard work over the decades Geoff. It just won't be the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
