I hope they’re not shelving it as part of the BBC funding cuts, I do enjoy listening to it on iPlayer throughout the week. Would also seem strange so soon after bringing back Gurney? Perhaps the axe is going to fall on Clive? Hopefully not!

‘It is a big one’ according to Rob….

That’d be my guess. Clive has really grown on me over the last few years, Gurney was the sound of my childhood but Clive’s been with us through the good times and given us many memorable moments with his euphoric celebrations

Someone should do a compilation. I often listen on the way to/from matches but never hear the live reactions

Team and player name confusion aside, I really like Clive and Oggy as a commentary duo. Probably bias but they're also far better than some of the other local football coverage you sometimes hear through ifollow.

Be a shame if Clive is leaving

 

[Gynnsthetonic]

I find Gurney a bit dull

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

His commentary of Gyo’s goal against Wigan last season was pretty iconic.

Don't think he is

The Bristol City gane when Godden scored in injury time when we won 3-2 with 10 men stands out to me

Got what?

 

[larry_david]

Got what?

Clive's leaving

 

[covcity4life]

Yup this. Liked him when younger but Clive's better for phone on now. Especially when he gets excited and gets into a debate with a caller. Gurney's too calm

 

[clint van damme]

Hopefully some of the experts on here get ticckets so they can put Robins straight on a few things

 

[Evo1883]

I like gurney better , always have .. and I think with him supporting city it resonates more ..not to say Clive hasn't been good he has

Maybe they should ask what he thinks godden does well , and they can get their answer from the horses mouth

Just because he supports the club means nothing, at least with Eakin you get more of a balanced view

Well I like Eakin more so there

Clive is very underrated. He's become better as the years have gone on.

Yeah I think he’s a good commentator. When he makes a mistake with the players name or team we’re playing I find it funny not irritating

Grew up listening to Gurney.
Spent a lot of time travelling home from the North on Saturday afternoons when I was a youth player. Loved listening to him commentate on the City. Iconic moments such as him ripping the cables out when we scored in the FA cup at Villa Park, then crying at the final whistle. Commentary on Huckerby's goal at home Vs United......
But Clive is "now" and dare I say, not only a very very enjoyable listen, but I'd say now more enjoyable than Robs current style ... wonder if age/time away has made him more professional and less likely to wear his heart on his sleeve!?
Both are very good and we are lucky to have them compared to other local radio commentators!!

Yeah, Gurney seems a lot more calmer and professional now, which isn’t a bad thing. Got to admit that these days I prefer Clive, especially when he gets irate about the smallest of things and his obsession with kit colours and pink boots.

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Some of it is getting used to someone's voice, and after a while they become like an old friend. I find Oggy's voice quite calming and reassuring nowadays. I'm sure it's due to hearing it so often (talks a lot of sense too)

Clive’s sporadic bouts of sounding ultra urgent (in what transpires as innocuous occurrences) immediately set off my fight or flight, admittedly:

‘HERE COMES BIDWELL, with a badly timed pass, gives it away, BUT HAMER WINS IT BACK, ugh but he’s dispossessed…AAAND…oh, it’s a throw in…’

It’s difficult to dislike Clive, although Rob is who was there all through my 90’s on CWR. ⚽️

Didn’t realise you were that old….
