CWR going to Wasps (4 Viewers)

[EalingSB]

Just watched the game in Geneva - 5 annoyed Sunderland fans in there which made it better. Was loving reading this and listening to the phone in on the train home but to finish it with a post from a ‘fan’ saying ‘Well done City and good luck Wasps’ as a cue to switch to the rugby comms is a disgrace really. I say this as an overseas fan who listens to all the phone-ins.
Note: edited the title as although not right I do think Oggy has been brilliant and the commentary and service is way better than this level of football (I paid for the Stoke City comms when my father-in-law came to visit and that really was bad...).

Yeah they cut us off to go to wasps after we go top of the league.

Said to tune in at half time in their game to hear mcfadz interview.

They can fuck off.

 

[cc84cov]

Wankers never liked them

Surely now surely Coventry radio should cover a Coventry team , if everyone raises an issue with the BBC it should show our discontent I think there is a contact us on their website

Time to hijack the rugby phone in

If you've paid for the rights to broadcast live sport, you broadcast the live sport. Be stupid not to in favour of some people calling in who half the time can barely string a sentence together or just ignore the game to talk about the owners/Wasps etc.

Exactly, loads moan about the phone in and when it doesn't happen they moan. I am enjoying a celebratory beer rather than worry about what the radio is or isn't broadcasting.

 

[PVA]

Honestly, who cares?

We're top of the league.

I wanted to hear from the players to be honest

Probably made it up

 

[Flying Fokker]

Are Wasps the only show in town?

 

[AStonesThrow]

Not straight after the game on the way back like usual....

I share the sentiment. But then I realise how thankful I am that, as CCFC fans, this is all we have to be miserable about. Then I just look at the league table

Time to hijack the rugby phone in

Not actually a bad idea generally...

 

[Irish Sky Blue]

I wonder how many people actually listen to Wasps commentary. I wouldn't think that many do I would think that their listening figures plunged as soon as they went from our phone in to the Wasps game.

 

[Irish Sky Blue]

Do they have a Wasps phone in?

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

Do they have a Wasps phone in?

Yeah, really popular apparently. The phones are always buzzing.


I'll get my coat.

 

[David O'Day]

Do they have a Wasps phone in?

"Our next caller is Tarquin from Kenilworth"

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

It’s a rugby phone in on Wednesdays I think

 

[SBAndy]

Recently been moved from the 6pm slot to the 9pm slot I think I heard. Part of the re-jig.

"Our next caller is Tarquin from Kenilworth"

He wants to discuss his favourite fleece

Completely agree.
How many listeners following city actually care at all about anything wasps ?
It's a bit like saying they're popping over to villa park to find out the team news there.

I turned straight over to another station. Not going to listen to that boring shite after we went top of the league.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

And they won. They’re gonna finish higher up than I thought

 

[mr_monkey]

And they won. They’re gonna finish higher up than I thought

Such a shame

 

[David O'Day]

And if anyone else has noticed a decline in the North Warwickshire gastropub scene since 2018

If you have enough time and are so inclined submit a FOI (freedom of information request) to the BBC as tax (licence fee) payers who fund their wages you are able to request these numbers.

I know that there is a rugby show on Wednesday but that features Cov and local sides as well. I didn’t think that there was a phone in element to that but I might be wrong.
I have noticed that, as far as I can tell, John Butler, the guy who reports on and sometimes commentates on Cov games,and who also does the announcing at Cov home matches, never has anything to do or say with the Wasps part of the programme. I wonder what he feels about them being here and how the local media have elevated them above the City’s true rugby team?

It isn't an FOI thing I don't think, these things are collected by people like Ipsos Mori. I did a survey once and got paid a fiver.
