Went for tickets this afternoon. Girl in the shop said there was about 20 left. If anybody hasn't got theirs yet

Blunderside have just claimed that it was Hull FC's demand that Gollum not be involved, that led to not broadcasting it. They said they cannot compromise their editorial policy for any club.

What's Gwillym been upto now?

Go back a few pages on this thread, Mrs B puts it quite succinctly

Hanging tightly around hudgell's waist!!

How the hell Radio Humberside can say that not having Gwylum there would compromise their editorial policy is joke in istself and just shows what a set of idiots they are but then again I expect nothing more from them now Matt Dean is the so called Sports Editor. The fact is there is a huge conflict of interest with Humberside in the case of Gwylum.

They are after all public servants to the licence payers yet still like to think they are beholden to no one but themselves.

Personally I am disappointed with this outcome, thought Mike White would have been a decent guy to have host the fans forum on the Radio but guess radio Humberside think otherwise.

to be fair I can understand why humberside would only want their rugby league producer to host the forum and i can see why the club wouldn't want him to do it

from a selfish point of view i'd prefer the forum on radio as it's easier to listen to at that time of day but hopefully it will be available to watch recorded on fc tv

Wouldn't mind knowing if you wouldn't mind pm'ing me please

It's a Hull FC Fans Forum organised by the club with assistance from FC Voices and as they have in their employment a very capable broadcaster in Clarkey why would they let an outsider host it and as host possibly dictate the agenda. If it was a Forum organised by Radio Humberside it would be a different matter.
The offer to Radio Humberside as far as I can see was to broadcast the event live. An offer they have declined because it may compromise their "editorial policy" if they don't host the event.
Has it not occured to them that as it's an event run by Hull FC they may have an "Editorial Policy" of their own and may wish to control the event to a point that they have control over certain issues and/or questions.
For example if a question is raised regarding Gleeson or Aspinwall the club may wish not to make any further comment but with an outside "journalist" in the Chair he could push the panel into a position they don't want to be.

nail firmly on the head

i would have thought not having gollum there would help RH, at least they could have someone who can press the correct buttons and use the equipment properly, and not think they are the main focus of the show - he makes alan partridge look like a seasoned pro

Gollum is pathetic! All he is interested in is goading fans! Good move by the club imo.

Spot on.

Just read Gollums comments on facebook...pathetic

Got to say some other comments by certain people were pretty sad & predictable

I for one consider the work by FCvoices to be great, a bunch of volunteers giving up time for the club they love! then some sad excuse of a dobbin commentator decides the group should be disbanded whatever Gollum!!! as if we care what you think
