[Albion] Radio commentary 're-runs'

[Cotton Socks]

I have an elderly friend who is a lifelong Albion fan. She suffers from dementia and is used to listening to ko's on a Saturday with occasional random deviations. Her health is deteriorating and the current ko times are basically past her bedtime.
She only listens on the wireless and is used to pronunciations of names not being perfect but it seems that there are no commentary repeats on the radio webpage. She'd love to listen to the repeats but I can't seem to find them. Do any exist?

Thank you, but it needs to be up to date (within a week/year or two). Basically needs to be JC and Warren and a PL match, preferably without a reference to the date.

Because football disappeared up its backside over money a long time ago, I think it’s all wrapped up in rights and that’s why you can’t easily find them. Does Seagull player keep them after broadcast? That might be best bet.

Could have a go at recording and sending to you as an MP3, if you like.

Just sending my own commiserations and support to the lady. As one disabled fan to another.
Right now it’s a ######## all these 8 pms

If the Albion game is on 5 live - it often is - then you can listen to the commentary on BBC Sounds for 7 days after the match
Here’s Brighton Everton >>

PS: Both the 1983 cup final and the replay radio commentary appear to be on YouTube in full.

Could you not go "old school" and record the commentary for her onto a cassette tape to play the next day ? Maybe someone has an old radio/cassette recorder gathering dust in an attic, or I expect you could pick one up online or in a charity shop.

Might be a long shot, but have you tried contacting the club they might be able to help get access to some of the recordings/replays of games.

It’s a rights issue - loads of stuff off YouTube been removed over last 2 years , real shame as club weren’t fussed before Prem

Thanks everyone.
I actually think I'm going to go with the Old Skool cassette method. I'm not going to admit to still having the facility in my lounge though! She'll know how to use a cassette player and I wouldn't be surprised if she still has a player. I didn't think I'd be tracking down some TDK's again! I'm looking forward to untangling them from a machine again!

Maybe you could record the top 40 for her off Radio One as well

I could relive the satisfaction of hitting pause just before they speak.

It's a real shame - the commentaries from Johnny and Warren from the promotion season are etched in my head and I used to enjoy listening back to the goals in the week after a match. Now Radio Sussex can't even play their own commentary on their own Albion Unlimited podcast. If this is down to the club then shame on them, if it's the PL then shame on them.

Email Johnny Cantor I’m sure he will help if he can. Johnny.Cantor@bbc.co.uk I believe.
