Bongser intended to listen to today's match of which there were FIVE in The Championship. He headed to Auntie's website where the following commentaries were on offer:
Barrow vs Newcastle
Sheffield vs Widnes
Halifax vs Batley
Swinton vs York.
Bongser was never the best at Kim's Game but he knew what had gone missing there! So he went to the pub.
Seems BT, with greater diligence, found a feed from a radio station of which Bongser had never heard but foolishly presumed to be a community radio station in The Smoke. When looked up, Drystone Radio boasts of serving the Craven area. In his innocence and in thinking that this was a South London gig, Bongser thought of Craven Cottage! He was appalled to read the following:
London Broncos DO NOT EXIST as far as London (and The Beeb) are concerned. Pretty sure that Orangeman (good evening, how are you?) doesn't like Bongser, but the latter has fed him enough dry powder for OM to go "Bananas" about!
Yes, realise now that broadcast (narrowcast?) was from the Cringing, Cowardly, Craven area of the Pennine Borderlands but the point remains. Why was there no Radio London (or whatever) coverage, as if we don't all know the answer already.
Bongser doesn't mind having no railway station as long as he has exposure for his club as he had on Friday arriving back from work, commentary from a more oriental part of Yorkshire called, golly, Craven Park!
Yes some kind of community radio station serving the needs of 25 people in the local area and me. The guy doing the commentary was a volunteer I assume so all criticism is good natured but he wasn’t so much a say what you see commentator as a not say very much at all commentator. There was no real build up he simply announced apropos of nothing that someone or other had scored and moved on. A unique experience. Only ruined by Broncos decision to put the queue in the rack at the 40 minute mark. Long old season this already.
