New Year Coverage

Doug · 31-12-2006, 17:58

Well, it will be our first game and hopefully our first win of 2007. Notwithstanding 2br’s Match Day contribution at FES, the big question is. Will we have any full match commentary to soften brighten our New Years Day.

As you know, if Burnley play, then they get commentary. That's just the way it is. I'll be there (as always) and we'll be backwards and forwards between the two games to get regular news from the Stanley games (for example, for the last 2 home games we have switched from the Burnley game to Stanley in order to get Toddy's 2 penalties)

As explained many times before (but I know you like me telling you Doug

) there are loads of problems with trying to get regular commentaries in League Two, ranging from commercial appeal to facilities at away grounds and such. Things may change in the future. I don't know. But what I do know is that 2BR cover EVERY Stanley game in the biggest way possible.

And, by way of ending on a cliffhanger, there WILL be more Stanley commentaries in the not too distant future...

Dan, I have tremendous respect for you and I enjoy you coverage even when it’s just the up dates, but I can’t get 2br in Blackpool unless it’s over the net and they keep pulling the plug on that.

It would be nice if in the New Year some of the stations recognise that Accrington Stanley are, irrespective of the past, something special and deserve the investment in live commentary.

Until then Dan I thank both you and Karen for you commitment and lively coverage that brings the action from the park into our homes and sometimes our cars. Again Thanks, Have a good and safe New Year.

Wow, back to Saturday morning matinees.

Now, whatever happened to them?

You never know you might get coverage tomorrow if the weather in Wrexham is better than it is here

I don't have one

If anyone can confirm that I can get 2br on Digital I will go out and buy one.

No Idea why Mr K.

In my experience if a signal is weak you still stand a chance with analogue radio.

Hence I can get Radio Sheffield in the middle of East Yorkshire on FM and even AM at times - and FM even when we went to Chester.

However when I tried my elder son's digital radio I had no chance it got completely confused by the weak signal and all I got were random sounds.

In that case I'll buy myself something useful

All I can get on Analogue is Radio Lancs, So I have to depend on the web for local radio coverage. Never mind

Things can only get better.

Please don’t do this to me. I’d love to make the trip, but alas I can not. I will make more trips away next year I hope.
