Maybe? Demographics have massively changed in ~25 years since Clive started and particularly in the last 5 as the club has become more successful, got a wider audience and boosted attendances. Media landscape has totally changed too.This would be a huge mistake, the demographic of people who listen to CWR for match day commentary I would imagine skews older. If they go after a young audience they'll just loose listeners.
Didn't we have a season where the commentary was on a commercial channel as well and nobody liked that because it was a 'different' style.
The hour with Clive was a lovely listen and quite emotional particularly the little compilation of some of the commentary on goals over the years. He will be so sorely missed, Rob Gurney in his lukewarm tribute made mention of the fact they won't try to replace him but do something different... I really hope we get someone impartial even if they're not like Clive.
I know I am firmly sounding like an old man but the "bants" / "limbs" modern take on football leaves me pretty cold, I hope CWR don't desperately pander to modernise and bring in something that takes away from actually just describing the game. Listening to other iFollow audio streams at games over the last few seasons, you really grow to appreciate the way Clive & Oggy do things.
Particularly enjoyed the tributes from Oggy, Clive Tyldesley and Stephen Pressley... Robins' was almost like he was being held at gunpoint, which is fairly typical.

he's been on the Warwickshire streams this summer, often with RobHe’s still doing the Cricket isn’t he?
Yep, JD who does the announcing at The CBS was made redundant and hosted his final show last week I believeHits doing exactly what they promised the radio authorities they wouldn’t do when they took over so many stations.
Assume some sort of minimum legally required period has expired.
Pretty shit how little local radio programming there is now.
Maybe I am reaching but being as the council flogging the ground was local politics and BBC's policy is to remain strictly impartial maybe Clive was pretty restricted on what he could and couldn't sayHow can the council control what the BBC reports exactly?
I think the BBC Charter would be what’s stopping a presenter calling a local sports team a bunch of cunts TBH.

Making shit up on these threads? I dont believe you. When people post on here its FACT ok.......You are reaching. FFS it was Simon “the council are evil wankers” Gilbert reporting for the BBC for most of it. He might know football but Saddles source is clearly making shit up about this.
Makes me absolutely shudder SB. Completely misreads the room both in her work on the final few games and at the Doug press conference. I’ll be turning off the volume.It seems pretty obvious that Lorna Bailey will be involved considering she featured in the play-off games.
I'd like to see a duo of Oggy and Dave Bennett next year, I know Dave has done games over the years, he loves the city and is a top bloke, Rob will be there aswell so that would be a cracking team imo

No thanks.I'd like to see a duo of Oggy and Dave Bennett next year, I know Dave has done games over the years, he loves the city and is a top bloke, Rob will be there aswell so that would be a cracking team imo
Oggy is the ex player / coach , Rob the life long fan, you just need someone who can actually commentate and isn’t afraid to ask proper questions in the post match managers interviews.If we’ve learned anything from Clive it’s that we want a decent commentator probably with zero links to the club.
It will be fun at leastChrist

Once?????Was it Dave Bennett who turned up a bit drunk once and spent the entire game butchering how to pronounce Bakayoko?
Never change Benno.Once?????
Bit tricky if you're listening on the radio.Makes me absolutely shudder SB. Completely misreads the room both in her work on the final few games and at the Doug press conference. I’ll be turning off the volume.
I loved his commentary in the comeback win at Stevenage. I think he'd enjoyed the half time refreshments that day.Favourite Bennett Co-comm was after the late equaliser vs Preston when he pointed out that it wouldn’t have happened without the pitch invader adding time to the regulation.
