Is that not their job? For which they are being paid?

"We don't wanna talk about women's rugby".
Plainly we don't, since no-one took up the invitation to do so - an invitation that was repeated at ten minute intervals throughout the show.
What might be a good idea is for the presenters to have some feeling for what is of interest to listeners to an Albion phone in.
Being "controversial" for the sake of it doesn't work either.
Please ... no more nonsense such as "do you agree with Mike Ward that it would be better to be relegated than have Leon Knight back?" or "is promotion a bad idea, if it means we'll have more difficult games next season and drive the crowds away?" That sort of stuff is worse than amateur.

Or you could suggest it shuts down - because it has completely lost its sense of direction.

Mike Ward is not a BHAFC fan, that is the issue

Driving home from the game today and listened to the Radio Sheffield phone in and must say it was very good perhaps Radio Sussex should listen to a rerun of it and then do likewise with their poor effort.

the bbc sheffield phone-in is excellent - partly because there is never anything more entertaining than hearing a yorkshireman phone up and just go on a massive rant, which tends to happen even if t'blades have won 4-0

BBC Sheffield have many clubs on their phone-in: Utd, Wednesday, Rotherham, Doncaster, Chesterfield. Their presenter does not support any of these - so should they get on his back too?

no - because he is actually good at his job
to a large extent, the phone in is what the callers make it - and if you have no callers, then it's going to be difficult to make a decent show. you then have to ask why there are no callers, and judging from this thread it appears to be that a lot of people dont like mike ward and are put off from calling him
conversely, you also need to give people something to call up about - and plainly on a phone in show that is designed to be about the albion, womens rugby isn't going to get people picking up the phone to discuss!

Total crap again today. The presenters, if that's what you can call them, HAVE TO GO

The thing is this...when we had an engaged, knowlegable and funny BRIGHTON FAN who bleeds blue and white, doing the phone in there were a fair few on here on endlessly f***ing whining and arseaching, or worse, sending complaints to the beeb because he dropped a bollock on air about flids or windowlickers or some pathetic shit..
If anyone has bothered to read Mikes facinating travelogue, documenting his transition from armchair plastic gooner to radio spaz and general nuisance who hangs round the Albion because he apparently hates his missus or was having some totally bent middle age crisis, would have realised long ago that just because he is a TV critic for the f***ing Daily Star and, therefore, a Meeja face this in no way qualifies the boring, no talent, wanker to host a radio show listened to by people who really care about the club and might know something about it.
Sorry Mike. I don't know you personally but seriously...just give it up mate. stick to reviewing Big Brother and celebrity tit wank for the mongs who read the star and LEAVE THE ALBION ALONE.
Now you've got Mike "Mental" Ward doing your phone in...enjoy...pricks.
Ian Hart.
Mesage ends.

Listening to the 'phone used be a must but now Mike Ward's on just not worth listening too. Need someone who's a real fan and who cares even if it means challenging the club sometimes.

What used to be something uniquely Albion...totally unlike any of the other anonymous, borefests that typify lower league local radio phone ins...and god knows I have listened to the efforts elsewhere in the UK travelling back from aways, is now just, well, dull.
I am aware that Mike Ward reads this forum, he mentions it often enough, so I apologise for calling him a wanker...like I say, I don't know the bloke and presumably he just took the gig because there was no one else with a big enough profile at the club at the time.

Listened to todays phone in while driving home from my mothers and what a load of rubbish it was with Richie Reynolds and Mike Ward. They kept saying if you want to talk about this, that something else phone in and share it with us and my wife said they are desperate they just want people to phone in about anything. 1 man, Bill came on and I thought that he spoke a load of rubbish but that is just a personal opinion others may think he spoke sense. The 2nd caller came on at 5.45 with less than 15 minutes to go. So why are people not interested in calling in.
When will the BBC go crawling back to Harty and beg him to come back or stop the phone in altogether and just have a sport review and interviews with players managers etc.
