bcnram Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 I won't respond to anyone looking for an argument. I don't like having to listen to Burton Albion stuff and any amount of people saying I should won't change that. Then it looks like you will have to keep away from Radio Derby, the BBC station for Derbyshire and East Staffordshire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anon Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 I won't respond to anyone looking for an argument. I don't like having to listen to Burton Albion stuff and any amount of people saying I should won't change that. I don't think anyone has said that you should enjoy it. They've just pointed out that it's unreasonable for you to want Radio Derby to "give over with it" when reporting on Burton Albion is part of their remit.

mcsilks Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 I'm not sure how any of you can actually endure Radio Derby at all.The commentary is ludicrously biased meaning you don't get anything like a balanced view of the game and to make matters worse, it's amateurish in its delivery and overall commentary.Add to that, that the station is like listening to something from the dark ages. Advertisements for dull radio programs that I'm certain are targeting the over 70's and then broken up every so often with the local news reporting on stories about one mile traffic jams and elsie losing her pet cat.Anyone under the age of 60 who enjoys this mundane bore of a station seriously needs to get a life and start realising there really is life outside of dreary Derby.

Not to a ludicrous degree, but I do want the commentators to try their best to be positive about the team. It's not long since there was a big backlash against the negativity from Colin Gibson and I much prefer the way things are now.As for Radio Derby outside of football, I don't see what's so wrong with catering to their demographic. Which, as you said, is older people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alph Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 When I've listened it's not even bias. It's moaning. When you watch back the full 90 and their commentary is on it then it's not even accurate. "They're just getting on top now". No they're not. "Derby just aren't winning the battles" ... It was 1 tackle. Pretty much all game. Thankfully don't have to listen to them often. Well, Ramage more than the other guy. Ramage is good in a way because for all those that don't get to games you still get to experience what it's like to be sat near whinging nutter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
needles Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Radio Derby is better than nothing, especially if you can't get to the games. Folk used to moan about Ian Hall back in the days of Colin Gibson and the legendary Graham Richards...you can't please everybody. The Burton bit isn't really a problem is it? Derby County is clearly given the lions share of the coverage.Burton Albion? Good luck to them, if Wigan and Wimbledon can make the big time why not Burton? As long as they're below Derby, I can handle it!Finally, Burton may smell, but so does Grimsby surely Daveo? Or has the fishing industry disappeared now?

RamNut Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 I think too much coverage is given to burton considering that they get less than 3000 fans for home games. (fewer than FC United of Manchester)however the one that really bores me stiff is Alfreton ( fewer than 500 people go to home games) and yet their boring manager gets interviewed at length about the thinking behind his 78th minute substitution etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're top of Division One. The 45th best club in the country and they deserve every bit of coverage they are getting. I always think the argument that clubs do or don't deserve success or coverage because of their small support is a but wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcsilks Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 Attendances are an indication of how many people are actually interested.So you are saying that only 26,000 were interested in the last Derby game.If Burton were promoted to the Championship and moved to a 20,000 capacity stadium, I dare to say that their attendances would rise to somewhere between 10,000~15,000.The same thing happened with Blackpool, Wigan and many others who have risen up the leagues in recent years.
