Radio Leicester coverage

[Joe_1992]

Wish they’d open the phone lines up like they used to. Get some proper opinions, not those shite voice notes from Graham Rudkin sorry Brock.

[RoboFox]

Decent feature-length episode of the podcast called “The State of Leicester City”

 

Nothing revelatory, but some well-connected names in media circles around the club (Percy, Tanner etc) giving their take on the mess

 

Nice to see the media pile on continue. What fans are doing is working.

Just heard it - I thought it was very good, albeit an uncomfortable listen at times. Anybody who remains in any doubt over how deep our problems run, and the enormity of the challenge ahead of us, should give it a listen.

Ian Carter speaks pretty much as most fans think......I think!

[Permafrost]

Quite surprising. Fair play.

Yes, on BBC Sounds, Radio Leicester.

Thanks for the heads up.

 

I must admit, a pretty fair assessment but did anyone else listen to it and get more angry about our situation?

 

Some really good comments and hate calling out individuals but that Katie from LTID saying that a “sorry, we made a mistake when lost circa 160m in two years would be forgiven, with an apology” made me shout out loud in a public place.

 

You cannot excuse that mis-management but guess it sums up our passive fan base.

Good listen, I honestly think this is the key to turning the "be careful what you wish for" crowd. They think they are above it all and the only people that are annoyed are some "young chavs" as one of them said to me.

They need official outlets to tell them the same thing most of us have been saying because they haven't got the interest to go looking for it, they need it spoon fed.

I like radio leicester with Pipes on when he summarises the match. He seems to speak from the heart and I find I agree with a lot he says.

 

They seem to keep the fans and controversial comments at arms length though. I'd love the interviewer to ask Ruud some difficult questions for once. Not to be rude or disrespectful, but ask the questions that the fans want to ask.

Don't forget Tom from Leicester fan tv

I think we all would my friend...but if R L get a bit too robust with their questions  it would jeopardise their access and relationship with the club I think.

And we've seen that before with Stringer and Pearson following an interview with Jack Hobbs.

It’s good but the music like it’s any actual passing of a person was darkly hilarious

You not a fan? He's distanced himself from them now and when I ever made the mistake of listening to LFTV, he was always the one I actually thought talked with a degree of rationality.

 

He's by far the best that cesspit of a channel had to offer. Everyone else on there are dumb as bricks.

I thought this exactly. It was like an episode of a true crime podcast.

I kept imagining Danny Dyer's voice saying, "I'm outside Seagrave and I'm tryin' to find out who gave the green light to Jannik Vestergaard's new contract. But these guys ain't jokers and I'm feelin' very uneasy..."

Don't forget also  it's always "going to kick off "

Big fan of Owynn, Piper and the coverage in general on Radio Leicester despite the fact they make nowhere near enough content to compete with what's so readily accessible now.

 

A lot of it I liked. The stuff I didn't like was typical of the beeb. Feeling the need to add balance by saying they never spoke to us when we were doing well either. That doesn't say to me that they've always been private, it says to me they've never given a **** and it's only now the good work of others has gone that they've been exposed.

 

Some of the local journalists just spout the same shit too. Probably worried about holding onto the few sources they still have at the club. 

 

Make absolutely no mistake this club could not be more rotten. It's worse than this documentary went into. It will get way worse than this and you'll still have the same journalists reminding you we won the Premier League so you should just be grateful.

 I've just read somebody who used to work at the KP describe our communications director as "one of the most arrogant and repulsive human beings you could have the misfortune to meet", which might explain the club's total refusal to engage with fans or the media.

The fact we even have a communications director is probably the most shocking thing about that. 

 

What does that entail? Make sure Top's bullshit programme notes are signed off and order 30,000 donuts a season?

I know they do it for balance but that Helen talks absolute tosh. I'll probably be accused of being sexist but her takes are always way off the mark.

I wonder whether it might be that she was so against those with any of the say ‘anti feeling’ that she can’t quite get to the point of saying yes they may well have been correct in parts.
