bradowl 8,446 Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 (edited) Back in them days they were no live commentary, they gave about 3 updates live from grounds each half which lasted about 30 seconds each time, having Hallam as well as Sheffield it helped though we spent half of game flicking from one station to other trying to catch a live report.

How many times do you hear him say "also, too, as well" - drives me up the wall. That is just NOT the kind of English you expect a (supposed) professional broadcaster to say once let alone, over and over again. Grrrrr Link to post Share on other sites

owlthorpe 19 Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 That's exactly how I remember it Bradowl from the early seventies. Around the grounds on about 15 mins then 30 mins then at half time ,same in second half to full time on both Radio Sheffield and Hallam. Later, think it moved onto actual commentary of a Wednesday or United away match in the second half only. Link to post Share on other sites
ken52 24 Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 Usede to work at The Star when Hallam started, late 1974. Stuart Linnell was a good reporter, bumped into him a few times at Wednesday games. Hallam took over part of the Star building which was next to the classified advertising department which just happened to consist of about 40 young very attractive ladies. I was in display advertising and the coffee machine was in their department. No need to tell you that most of the lads in our office became addicted to coffee. The machine was at the back of their office and it'd take an age to go and get a cup. Just saying like, Link to post Share on other sites

As far as I know Bob Jackson introduced the UK’s 1st ever football phone in on Radio Sheffield, I believe that there was no praise allowed when it was first introduced, just a grumble. As I recall Radio Hallam introduced their own version some years later called “Rate em or Slate em”. Not sure of the year but what I do recall is that it was around the time that two Wednesday fans regularly called Praise or Grumble, namely Ricardo and Rahael (forgive the spelling). I remember switching between the two phone ins and would often hear Ricardo having a good moan on both. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Pablo Bonvin 7,727 Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 I remember them reading the half time scores out with The Hustle by Van McCoy in the background. But then again, I do remember some really useless things. Link to post Share on other sites

Just saying like, Wasn't sure which channel it was on but i do remember the little ditty "Sport with Stuart Linnell, the best in sporting news" As others have said I remember a minute or so visit to each of the Sheffielda clubs matches with even shorter visits to the other local clubs matches around every 15 minutes just for the latest updates.
