Clive Eakin on CWR (21 Viewers)

[aloisiwouldhavescored]

Just announced on CWR that, after today, (unless we make the play offs of course) Clive Eakin won't be covering City match commentary any more.

Such a shame, really enjoyed listening to him.

I hope they find someone else who mixes up white players with black players and our opponents with clubs we haven't played for over 20 years. He will be missed.

Nothing more said about a replacement.

Strange that Rob Gurney isn't on CWR today as well.

 

[Dhinsa's_Millions]

Interesting that Gurney isn't on air today....

 

[Alkhen]

Ah Clive, him and Oggy are the soundtrack to match days 🥹 Always brings the passion and when there is a game covered by another ifollow comm team you can see how lucky we are

 

[covcity4life]

Wtf this is actually sad

Why? If it snot his own decision we must get the pitchforks out!

Anyone who can pronounce Dovin correctly and knows which team we are playing

Tbf Clive's been great, love his passion.

 

[stay_up_skyblues]

Gutted. Clive and CCFC go together like Yin and Yin, I mean Yang.

 

[Paul Anthony]

Actually find that a little bit sad. He's been a massive part of our recent journey, he's put his voice to the best moments some of us have had. It'll feel quite odd listening to someone else.

 

[MAFF]

What? Clive Eakin's leaving?

 

[Sick Boy]

Did they say who they have instead?

Prob Gurney.

 

[DannyThomas_1981]

it better not be this woman they have on - absolutely terrible and not reading the mood at all.

I suspect she’ll replace Gurney and he’ll take Clive’s job.

 

[baldy]

Prob Gurney.

*Rob

please be wrong sick boy - one game is enough. talking about how much she's not enjoying it - this game is immense.

I'm sorry but if we managed to get promoted this year he has to reconsider

 

[itsabuzzard]

Prob Gurney.

I hope not.

End of an era. No longer able to ignore prophecies of “danger here” and always the possibility of complete misidentification of city scorers. Clive said MVE had scored Paterson’s goal. Easy error as MVE seems more naturally right footed than Pato. The word “broodje” is Dutch for batch (well bread roll).

 

[MalcSB]

Definitely.

 

[itsabuzzard]

For once, you're right.

 

[Sick Boy]

Whenever Clive says Grimes I think he's merging into Alan Partridge in his later years.

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

I wouldn't worry too much. Knowing our Clive, he probably means next season.

What a legend. That roar from the crowd when him and Oggy came on the screen at Wembley against Man Utd will live long in the memory.

I really hope he reconsiders over the summer. An outstanding commentator!

Entertaining at the very least.

 

[RoboCCFC90]

Thanks Clive.

 

[Sky_Blue_Daz]

Hope he gets double time Friday night

 

[Ccfcisparks]

At least another 2 yet Clive...

big shoes to fill

It's BBC cuts, he won't be replaced

 

[MalcSB]

I haven’t understood why they have needed 4 or 5 to cover our matches.

I wonder if Oggie got an appearance fee from Sky?

 

[pusbccfc]

Absolute legend.

Think Clive’s days were numbered once Gurney returned to CWR sadly. Been slowly squeezed out.

Loved Gurney back in the 90’s, but haven’t really warmed to him since his return.

Me neither.
