By far not the most important issue (compared with the recent spirited team performances and encouraging results), but just wondering why JT hasn't been commentating games for RH recently?

I know there have been management changes at BBC Humberside Sport, but I've not seen any announcements or social media threads about changes in GTFC commentary responsibilities (but apologies if I've missed anything!).

(Not a thread about JT's commentating style, just an enquiry about a long-serving BBC RH commentator and a loyal Town supporter!)

DavidB. Hmmm. Interesting user name. Don't work for the BBC in local radio. You know sports, phone ins, that sort of thing  


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

In the GTFC football season? How could he?

OK, fair enough! Thanks for clarifying!

No - but could put my cv forward (if there was a vacancy for a Town supporting anchor-person to balance the reporting across the 3 local teams!)

People tend to mix jobs nowadays-could he be working at Crofts Estate Agents ?

Also noticed the presenter after the match talking to “Crofty”, referring to town as “The Iron”. Useless, bloody useless.

Out of interest, whilst we've been on the 4 game unbeaten run how many did John Tondeur do commentary on,not trying to insinuate anything of course.
