Vectis Radio Commentary

[vcmazziow]

Just wanted to thank Vectis Radio for covering Warriors home meetings. The commentators received a negative comment or two on the Weymouth thread but I'd just like to point out that Vectis Radio is a local station run and presented by volunteers. 'Clueless', was one comment and a little unkind I thought. These are a few volunteers trying to get the message out there and provide a service to the best of their ability - no one is claiming to be Murray Walker, just trying.  I was at the meeting but I've since listened to the podcast and think it's a great service that will surely improve and certainly one that I would consider a godsend if it were available elsewhere and I could listen to Warriors away meetings. So please guys, cut them a little slack. This is a new project and they're learning so let's encourage them if we want to listen to live meetings. It would be great if this happened at every stadium.

I listened to a local radio station covering Stoke a couple of years back and they were utterly hopeless. I couldn't do the updates as they weren't even telling you the heat results and I had to guess when races started based on the noise of the bikes. Vectis Radio are miles better and I thank them for their service. I'm sure many others appreciate it too.

I actually thought it was fun....different....trying to explain stuff such as rules was funny.....how do you explain the rules of this sport?
Yes they joked about with each other a lot, nothing wrong with that at all.
And as you say, they are not professional and that to my mind is what makes it interesting and funny!
Hey, they got all the way to Canada!!!!!
