For a part time fan (young family, can't afford to go to more than 10 or so games). Listening to all the games kind of of makes you feel the calling of the c.g. if that makes any sense. the radio gives you a saturday afternoon experience that leaves you longing for the real thing. brunel on the other hand gives you the urge to go to B&Q and become a habitual saterday afternoon diy enthusiast (I know that is probably spelt wrong but hopefully you get the point)
Correct. When my kids were younger I couldn't afford the time, money or get time off work to go, but always listened in. For about 5/6 years I did not go to one game, but still felt I was a "supporter".
I then started taking my kids to games, & ended up going to virtually all home games for the last 14 years most as an ST holder.
I very much doubt I would have any interest now if it were not for local radio coverage.
In addition don't forget the old & infirm, who CAN't go any more. They shouldn't be just cast aside as Diamandis & chums did. I met a guy in the local pub about a year ago. forget his name but he was welsh & played for the town in the 50's. Shouln't he be able to listen to the commentary ?
