Radio and the Senior Cup Final

[Dave Deacon]

Good to hear that Ross Ellis will be featuring the Easter Monday Final in his programme on BBC Radio Cornwall that afternoon :D

[motherwontletmegoargyle]

Featuring? Mmm see Truro are playing on Easter Monday too. So, just how much coverage do you think the Senior Cup Final will receive in a programme which will prob finish at 5.

[pastyman]

I very much doubt the the Cornwall Senior Cup will have a fair share of coverage on Radio Truro, sorry Radio Cornwall.

Given the scenario that Truro City "run out of money" and join the Calsberg south West Peninsula League, would there then be a "level playing field" for all clubs in Cornwall? I put this question to a Weekend Manager of Radio Truro, sorry again, Radio Cornwall, the reply I was given, "good question".

As a proud Cornishman, living in Saltash, I find the coverage given to South East Cornwall by Radio Truro, sorry again, Radio Cornwall to be nothing but pathetic.

[Guest Postie Pidge]

I assume that for those not going but interested, Falmouth Athletic vs St Dennis won't be on Radio Cornwall?

[MOUNTAINEER]

I think the Cornwall Senior Cup final WILL get a fair coverage, I wouldn't think Radio Cornwall will change it's anti-round-ball policy though, their Truro City reporting only stems from taking details from the unofficial tigertalk forum or courtesy of a supporters email telling them what tigertalk is posting.

The coverage of Truro City on Radio Cornwall is practically non existent, I know, as an exile I listen in and have to put up with the BIMBO's and the stations poor performance, most of us call it Radio Rugby.

I think the Cornwall Senior Cup will get a fair coverage, with only occasional mention of how the Truro City game is progressing, WHY? BECAUSE THERE ISN'T ANY RUGBY BEING PLAYED.

There is a lot of interest in the Taunton Town v Truro City game, that day City will have a bumper AWAY support, but the game of the day is the Senior Cup Final.

For MEDIA SOCCER COVERAGE Truro City are NOT the enemy, RADIO CORNWALL ARE.

I am sure some ex Radio Cornwall stalwarts would confirm that.

[Dave Deacon]

Oh well! Anyway, if you want to hear from the people involved in the build up to the Cornwall Senior Cup Final, the Cornwall Junior Cup Final, the Rowett Insurance Cup final and the Jollys Cornwall Combination League Cup final - you know where to tune into ........Radio St Austell Bay

Saturday, 5pm to 7pm :D

[Kernowman]

I'll be listening Dave!

[motherwontletmegoargyle]

I see the Radio Times (other listings magazines are available) has Mr Ellis on from 2-6 on Monday so maybe he will be broadcasting live from St Blazey like they used to and maybe we'll only dip out on commentry of the last quarter of the senior cup.

Then again maybe he'll be in his studio playing records and pre recorded interviews and features about non local or uninteresting local sports.

[Dave Deacon]

Well surely the fact that there is a sports programme is a vast improvement on last year. Give the guy some credit!

[Ken Reed]

Agreed Dave. Ross is a vast improvement on the offal broadcast by `SHE WHO MUST NOT BE NAMED` and deserves the opportunity. For those of you who don't know Ross, you can be assured he does his homework and knows a great deal about sport in Cornwall and in particular Football. As Dave says, "give him credit".

[D K]

Dave should take a little credit too IMO.

The pilot shows that will continue this coming Saturday for the next 6 weeks may well have stirred a reaction!
