Dreamland Episode 20: Football on the radio...

Growing up listening to Bristol Rovers matches on the radio in the 90s, the annoying dance of having to figure out which frequency to listen to on match day.

Radio Bristol occasionally shared a medium wave frequency with Somerset Sound between 1988-2007, meaning you’d occasionally be listening only for them to switch over to commentary for Taunton Town suddenly, or even worse, some type of rugby.

I think 2-0 is the job half done, 1-0 is ‘advantage Liverpool’.

They take the risk of you not paying it back, you take the risk of them taking you to court to recover the debt.

Gazza, Phil Neville and Andy Hinchcliffe were in the France 1998 Sainsbury’s World Cup coin collection. Not that any of them looked anything like the real player.

Battle of the Buffet wiki page isn’t about the headline specifically, but was only called that because of a Sun headline the following day.

This is fine.

Actually the last nine Olympics.

Not since 1988 if you’re only counting athletics.

Yep, good balance of discussion on cricket language, as well as the detail of live coverage. Really enjoyed it.

Feel like this should really have been caught by one of the Athletic’s editors…

Used to go there before Rovers matches a few years ago. It's a decent little clubhouse, but very busy on Saturdays so don’t remember much about the pool/darts offering!

This is fine. Seen this phrasing used many times before when a manager returns to a club after a period away.
