Screen Soccer axed by football club

Uggh.. imagine Andy Warren and cathy Barry having it off.. To many yer buts for sure.

Sad news. Thanks for your efforts Dave and Andy.

Unless the club have alternative entertainment plans, I think the bar revenue after matches is going to be greatly reduced.

After a win, you often saw people pop in for a drink while waiting for the traffic to disperse and stayed on to watch Screen Soccer and many went as soon as the highlights finished.

I understand the cost to the club only just covered the cost to produce the highlights. (and then the difference was probably paid over the bar by Dave and Andy, colleagues and family members anyway)

Hopefully not another "professional" decision at the expense of loyalty and individuality a la Keith Brookman.

Maybe the SC could pay for Screen Soccer highlights exclusively in their bar if it is a money saving issue?

The Club’s media output is becoming quite professional and impressive.

No doubt Tom G has an alternative planned.

To be honest I was not a fan of the thick Bristolian accent doing the commentary. To me it was just another reminder of rag bag Rovers so if the new system is going to be more professional and a better product then I'd prefer that.

With Tom's Links to Sky Sports maybe we will get Bristol Based Michelle Owen to do some work   even though she supports the team south of the river

Yes, and LJ was wearing his high heel sling back waders too. 💩

Quite. Funny how it’s the same people who complain we’re making losses to the tune of millions a year complain about us making efficiencies to reduce said costs. Then also complain about us not spending enough in the transfer windows and also complain when things go wrong.

Getting the balance right is a tricky task.

Seeing it was Gasheads providing the service how about, “Thank you for the 30 years of coverage, but we have decided we can do it differently”. Being less tinpot you can still treat people in a decent way. Good riddance is a attitude I would prefer not to have at the club unless someone is doing something destructive.

I believe that is conducted by the young chap who runs the Rovers Twitter account. You’ll see him in a ‘press’ high vis on a Match Day with his held hand camera.
