| The reality is that for years RH have employed a RL producer who talks openly of calling NH at home of an evening (cosy) with Richard Stead as a neutral and 2 Rovers affiliated summarisers. They part company with Richardson and his "horses**t" management comments re Adam Pearson and replace with, er, Rovers player Chris Charles. I struggle to see why the balance shouldn't be reversed given the relative positions of the clubs, it's all a bit strange. Is someone sleeping with Hudgell? That said, Jon Wilkin is excellent when he does punditry for the BBC, thoroughly enjoyed his work at last year's cup final.
Fortunately for those who can't make the game as others have said there's far more choice now so perhaps the monopoly RH have had will be diluted and fans wanting something with more insight and similar alignment will start to switch.

| Gwylym's greatest ever moment was in Perpignan a few years back. He was there to give live coverage of Catalans v Hull KR one Saturday afternoon/early evening. As the teams came out and lined up alongside each other, the stadium announcer could be heard in the background saying a few words, our hero Gwylym assumed he was announcing the teams and said "Well, the teams are now lining up for the French national anthem". The stadium tannoys then fell quiet and Gwylym said "Well, I don't know what's going on, they usually play the national anthem about now, I wonder if there's something wrong with the tannoy system." He then continued filling in the silence by rambling on about problems broadcasting from Southern France until a blast of the referee's whistle was heard in the background and the stadium announcer started up once again. Gwylym then said, "Well, whatever the problem was they seemed to have sorted it" at which point Chris Park leaned over and said "I think we've just had a minute's silence Gwylym"...

AGREE WITH THIS ONE

| Quote: davey37 "Got a response from the dobbins Trev.
Well done.
Mrs B said on another thread that it was stated on Blunderside last week that Kelly would be out for the season. This was before the Wakefield game.
I asked who said this as I haven't listened to that amateur station for a long time.
Still waiting to find out but if true then they should be taken to task over such biased misleading reporting.'"
I agree with you it is a very amateurish station, but to be fair to them it was a listener who contacted the station asking if it was true Albert Kelly had a season ending injury. The reply given was something along the lines of we haven’t heard anything.

If so then fair enough.
Thanks for clearing that up.

Thanks, you said it very well
Why the hell is a second-division team getting more favourable coverage than the sole super league team in the city ?

| I think TLJ has a point.
It has wrankled me that, Mr Lloyd does appear to show bias towards his own and not to us, even though he's often in an anchor role, but blame the station for that.
I don't think there's anything wrong with bias in local commentary, I like it, but it should be even handed. Honestly, how can Gollum do that for us when he wears a red and white scarf ??
It's nothing at all to do with his incompetence in his roles as either commentator or anchor. Though it should be of concern to me, It's just that I'm past caring. That's one for his employers to act on.
What's wrong for me is that we don't get the bias I would like to have, in the same way Rovers had it with the brilliant and unashamedly biased Chris Park (whom I loved to listen to), with our own DDD in his pomp, and Burnsey for the Tigers. That's all I ask for, a genuine FC man covering all things FC.
're. Air time...maybe Rovers don't actually get more air time than our boys, I'm not sure, but it's so painful to listen to, that it feels like they get way longer.
The Sports Editor should do the right thing and appoint a happily biased commentator for the Airlie Birds, complete with B&W scarf, and then I'll be happy.
Nb. I do like the sound of Richard Stead though, and his classic put downs of Mr Lloyd when he moves into puddled mode.

You are and always have.
Three seasons ago (when Rovers were a super league side) FC lost one Sunday and a KR fan texted in to RH:- "Great game, great commentary, great result!" Gollum read it out.
Next week Rovers lose so I texted in the same message, Gollum reads out: "Great game, great commentary!"
