Clive Eakin on CWR (2 Viewers)

[itsabuzzard]

If we’ve learned anything from Clive it’s that we want a decent commentator probably with zero links to the club.

All joking aside, I'm dreading what CWR will come up with, given that Lorna Bailey and Rob Gurney are being touted as probable replacements. It was Clive's detachment from the club that made him such a good listen; that's not to say that he didn't care, he obviously did. Rob is too heart on sleeve and Lorna just hasn't a clue.

Im guessing the need someone who can do the funny shaped vegetables in the week as well as the football so im guessing Lorna stays with Oggy and it’s Rob on comms. TBH I don’t care who does the phone in, this might be the thing that gets me to finally stop putting myself through it after the game. I don’t think Guerney is as bad as most other clubs comms, but agree I’d prefer someone a bit more neutral.

Gurney is far too negative to be doing it regularly.

Agree. That would mean Gurney has to do the Lampard interview then which could be…interesting . I also can’t see him wanting to give up the phone in, he does like to spout off after the game.
Clive used to do the phone in and let Oggy run it which was sensible.

Had STs and supported CCFC for nearly 60 years but due to ill health not able to attend any more., unfortunately.
Now rely on watching City matches on Sky or listening on CWR, not the same I know, but better than nothing.
Don't know what format the CWR coverage will consist of from now on, but really hope they will get a decent commentator
on to replace Clive.

Just finished listening to the CWR special with Clive, what a shame he never got to do 25 years - that would have been a more fitting end.

Never change Benno.

Love how he’s just become a regular down the casino.
There can’t be that many FA cup winners that you can stand an have a pint with and it not seem unusual
