Radio Berkshire Show

[GarySTFC]

Apparently, they are having a dig because no Slough fans are calling them up about the FA Cup match this weekend. Little did they think to let us know they were expecting calls or anything like that.

 

Anyway, fancy airing your views this morning? Give them a call on 01189 48 49 49.

Is this the same Radio Berkshire that didn't cover the Salisbury tie in any way even though BBC Radio Wiltshire covered it live?

 

Maybe the lack of calls is more of a reflection on the listening audience of Radio Berkshire as opposed to the interest in the game by Slough fans.

You must have read my mind, Ian.

 

Maybe if Rebels fans (not attending the match) thought that Radio Berkshire was the first place to get the Slough result and match analysis they would be inclined to tune in on a Saturday afternoon.

 

(Same applies to Star FM)

 

That is the way to gain new audience - especially if they concentrate more on the local sides (whether league or non-) rather than just Premiership games.

 

I have to wait for Ceefax/Teletext/Fans Forum (<img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />) to report the result of any match I can't get to.

But if I knew that a local radio station would be reporting the Ryman Premier results at 17:00 on a Saturday, I would certainly tune in.

I e mailed the Radio Berkshire sports editor at the weekend to ask if they were covering the match. I've not had a reply. Perhaps if they read out or replied to their e mails they would get the response they are looking for.

Well what do they expect - everytime you turn on their sports show it's Reading this, Reading that. Even when we did beat Salisbury, we were about fourth on their morning sports morning show - and that was just saying we were through. Gets a bit boring for the other supporters.

 

They could post something on teh forum, or let us know via email as I have been in touch with them lately regarding their Slough coverage...

No bugger listens to frigging Radio Berkshire because it is the Steve Coppell's nut-massaging station. It rarely admits that Slough is in Berkshire, let alone mentions the football club. Perhaps we would call up if it was such a narrow-agenda third rate local BBC service

[philSTFC]

my call didnt get on air as I was a 'bit' twitchy about all the sarcastic 'pops' they were having at us this morning

 

but my intelligent comment was 'that it wasnt through lack of numbers Slough fans weren't ringing in it was through lack of them listening to their sh*t radio station'

Well said!

[chris sliski]

Even so...It was being broadcast in the Reading Area....

 

I managed to get on air....to boost our club....

 

Thanks to Foggy for the tip off !

 

Also Roy Merryweather - Eddie Denton were interviewed to...

 

Dom also managed to get on air , plus foggy...but then I lost the signal at Heathrow and could not quite hear the others...but thanks to foggy we managed to tell them a few stories and hopefully we put the picture straight....

 

Even had to tell them that Lloyd was an ex Slough Player....

 

Shame on them did not even know !!

 

up the rebels.....

I personally hope someone from BBC Radio Berksire is reading all the above so they can act on it and give us better coverage !!!

[BFR]

Of course there is absolutely no mention of us on the BBC Berkshire website either, but then that is to be expected

pah, I don't even bother with the radio anymore - all rubbish, all the time
