Wonder if we manage to get 50 minutes commentary of Chester v Pools tomorrow, the useless kernts !

Get the kids involved, have a game of musical chairs , when the commentary is interupted ...

listened to Tees in the 70s , broadcasting from places like the Vetch Field , Gresty Road and Dean Court and never had these problems. Technology ? or is it just Tees ?

Get it sorted man ! this is your last chance. refyellow

Or what? You'll stop listening to it and sign up to Pools player?

I was back from the races on Boxing Day in time to listen to the second half commentary and the breaks in coverage were annoying - but I can't remember anything like it in the past and it will only be a problem if that standard of coverage becomes the new norm.

Personally I wouldn't have been surprised if BBC Radio Tees had stopped covering Pools' live games altogether in non-league - or if we got an on air phone call to a reporter every 20 minutes like they do for Spennymoor and Darlo. BBC Sport's online coverage of National League games is minimal - lineups, goals and substitutions are all they bother with.

Local commercial radio stopped covering live games - including the mighty Borer - yonks ago, so it's no good harking back to the past.

Opta provide all the stats for the Beeb and alas they don’t go as low as step 5 with all of the detail

I cant recall commentaries from Pools games on Tees in the 70's ? You would get a phonecall into their reporter whenever a goal was scored, and other than that the odd update during the game.

You are correct , but don't let that get in the way of a good story will you.
