Quote from: SoccerHQ on October 14, 2016, 09:58:26 PMIt was better when it was once a week on a Friday night and then phone in after the games on Saturdays and midweeks.I've never really understood why they changed it to a phone in ever single night of the week, there's only so much you can talk about surely particularly in international breaks where little happens unless there's a change of manager.Because fans want to talk about football all the time, which is why this site is busy with posters every day of the week.

It's not quite the same though is it really.

It's not quite the same though is it really. Why isn't it, years ago we got games 3pm on a Saturday and the occasional midweek game, Match of the Day on Saturday night, and that was your lot. Then Sky came along and turned it on its head giving us live football practically every day on the week, 24hr rolling sports news channels on TVs and national radio etc, and without even mentioning the Internet side of things. It's daft to suggest local radio shouldn't play an extended part of it. The demand is clearly there, so why shouldn't they?And to suggest there's only so much you can talk about in regards to football is a bit daft considering the amount of stuff posted on here on a daily basis.
WM have always been obsessed with phone ins....for years on a lunchtime they had directory enquiries with Ed Doloan for 3 hours.
But it's not all about the people ringing up it's the people listening at home. If no one was bothering to listen they wouldn't churn out phone ins every day.

I swear in the end, it was to keep me out of the control room because they knew Doolan's voice wound me up.
Just wasted 30 minutes of my life listening to a load of drivel. Sad baggies fans rooting for Blose on Sunday. Franksy: Kodjia will be playing Premier League football next season regardless of which League Villa are in. He suggested Tony Pulis might be interested in bidding £25M for him!
The same Albion fan has called in twice this week to say he's supporting Blues on Sunday. The obsession and the Albion-Blues love in continues. They should join forces and merge their clubs into one, We Hate Vile FC. They might just about scrape the same crowds as we get that way and be able to take more than 2000 to an away game that isn't at Villa Park
