I settled back into my armchair at 7.30pm tonight, TV with the sound turned down, enjoying the Sharks pump Werribee, my radio tuned to 91.3 ready to listen to the weekly Swans footy show.
All good as the first segment featured Adam Mcgrath interviewing Wayde Twomey about last saturdays victory over Perth. After this Adam announced that after the break, he would have a chat with Greg Harding. Then something very strange happened. After the commercials, the program cut to a number of replays of interviews on Sports breakfast. I stayed with it until about 8.30, one of the Interviews was with Percy Johnson who I always enjoy listening to anyway. Finally some American dude came on and I realised that this was going to be the longest commercial break in the history of radio
So either someone at the station has stuffed up pretty bad or Harding has been silenced…
Oh well there’s always the podcast.
Can’t all just be for the Aussie rules fans BH.There are others who enjoy other codes of football and sports.It is what keeps the station going. Diversity.
There might even be some cricket come on there,who knows.
Interesting to hear Harding’s measured response when asked about Lammie. He said that although he did not want to go into the circumstances of his departure, he said that Wes was a Swans person through and through and that he was always welcome back at the club. Maybe 2015?
Doesn’t alter the fact that all sports usually get covered by a sporting radio.Even 6PR have different sports to talk about.
Maybe they are rock apes but don’t forget that they call the Aussie rules guys the Flying fairies.
I was totally unaware the because we live in WA we are not allowed to follow,say, hockey,rugby,Water polo,tennis etc.
I have been a bad West Australian for taking an interest in other sports. :ohmy:
I think you should have finished your last sentence by saying ‘for not supporting the WAFL clubs in their fight against the devils incarnate ruining the WAFL competition’ rather than ‘for taking an interest in other sports’.
Why would that be Swan.I follow both.I have more interest in the AFL than the WAFL but doesn’t mean I don’t follow the local second tier competition.
Not all are as rabid about the crusade as yourself and others.But I have moved on and not dwelling in the past.
Trust me a/man it was a tongue in cheek comment. If I wanted to have a go at you I would be more direct. I think Sports FM do a good job with a lot of sports which don’t get a lot of media coverage from most of the other media.
