Got to say nether did I. I found the combination of Fallon and Giddings absolutely boring. I switched the sound off.
All Andy Giddings pre game analysis involves checking if any player who plays against us used to play for Wednesday, United , Rotherham etc former blade so and so And ex Owl : who knows or gives a s hite
I thought we got to hear more of what was happening on the pitch even with going to the other grounds for a round up.
They have the demagraphics (?) wrong for us. They are playing to wider geographial audience. So we hear the spireites, donny, millers as well as the two majors. This makes our coverage boring. I'd rather look for the results of the other lot after our match. Basically, I don't care about the other teams or commentators who don't care about us. We are locked into the BBC's business plan. Fuckem. Are we locked into them?
Can I ask a question of Matt or Whitey or whoever may have the answers. Why do we get BBC Sheffield on iFollow? (maybe it is deemed to be overkill to have two groups involved. Maybe Matt feels like a break. Maybe it is contractual)
I just assumed there were limits on how many press could be in the ground, or restrictions on people travelling into Wales
Less is better. We can see what is happening on the pitch. A bit of validation from Barnsley people is welcome. I'm liking Wayne with Matt.
Back in pre-COVID times, our three-man team would travel in the same car to away games with Keith (photographer) and Matt. Because we three are part of the club's COVID testing programme and work in red zone areas of stadia, we can't share a car with others like that anymore. So it's down to the other guys to make their own way there, in the amber zone. So if Matt can't make it, we have to either use no audio at all, or plug into the BBC feed. We appreciate this isn't ideal for viewers/listeners on iFollow but we are living and working in strange times, so we can only apologise.
Thanks for your response. Please don't think that I am being critical or negative. All coverage is appreciated. So the reason we get radio sheffield is because we can't get down to all matches for all kinds of reasons and they let us have their feed with good wishes? When iFollow started, maybe a couple of years ago, there was no commentary for five or six games. I have to say that I enjoyed that coverage more than radio sheffield. Without commentary I was more focussed on the match. I made sure i knew who was who and I gave thought to systems of play and the use of subs. I prefer Matt and team, but I would take game noise as a second option (if this was a vote)...
I don't know if this was intetional or not, but most of the time when we went around the grounds, the signal was muted from said reporter.
