Its finally over

[BensGrandad]

Just heard that Radio Sussex and Surrey have finally axed the phone in due to falling listening figures and responses. Sad after 13 years but inevitable I suppose.

Lets be honest, it was crap after Harty left.

Good, at least we won't have to listen to f***ing tools that phone and say "I wasn't at the game ......but" especially when we've lost !

 

[Kazenga <3]

We still going to get the summary and interview with Gus or are we now going to have to wait until its on player?

There's always the Moan in...

That is true he had his critics but nobody ever did as well as he did on the show and the show was never the same. .

Moan In is where it's at.

The death was inevitable once you put Mike Ward on. Complete tool.

Watch out !!!! it will be the live commentary next as local radio just becomes a drive time station .

Shame, as with 20,000 leaving the Amex, it might have got a better response next season.

I would have given it one more year (with decent presenters) and seen how it had gone.

 

[Fred Oliver - Legend]

they will be loads to talk about this season, new ground,new players, much better oppsition, derbys etc, i personally am a little gutted.

I agree should stick to being a TV critic.

The only good point was heaing John Byrne and the Gus interview, hopefully they will keep the program going long enough to get the interviews from Gus and Steve Evans and then finish it by about 5.30 after the round up of local soccer and then join Dave Cash.

Exactly this.

Would have thought that with 20,000 leaving The Amex the numbers would have dropped even more as most of those will be walking to public transport or staying for a drin k at The Amex and not listening in the car.

 

[Sussex Nomad]

Should have got someone like Des Lynam in maybe?

That may have worked but not with the presenters they had who lacked knowledge and enthusiasm.

With 20,000 leaving the ground and the phone-in not starting for twenty minutes or so after the final whistle (national and local results and reports) there will be even more fans just getting to there car etc who would be only to willing to both listen and phone in - very short-sighted by the Beeb considering all that will be happening!!

 

[Notters]

Oh FFS I hope this isn't true. What am I gonna listen to on the hour's walk home?

My point exactly.

They should have started it at 5.30. Very shortsighted IMO
