Les Ross was never one for interviews anyway. Talking to Millie on Ring and Sing was more his thing (older members of our community will understand this).I was out and about for the first part of yesterdays game, Rob Gurney was on WM, sounding like a Coventry fan would at Villa Park.Free 80's was bizarre, they obviously don't have the rights for full coverage so did updates in between Bon Jovi, Mr Mister and Owen Paul. It sounded very odd.

They've got a lot more money than BBC local radio have.
No chance, a commercial station is run on a shoestring compared to a bbc station. Just look at their sports team and coverage of cricket, speedway let alone the football. TR for all his faults does a pretty good job, he is free's sport dept.

I think it's the other way around to be honest. BBC WM is a shoestring operation. Just look at some of the utter fucking idiots they have to employ for starters. Who'd pay proper money for the likes of them?
