Season Ticket and walk-up prices slashed for next season - regardless of what division we're in.
http://www.dumbartonfootballclub.com/news/?mode=view&id=3586
£16 adults £10 Concessions £8 U12s and a £20 Parent + Child on the walk ups, all season tickets have 20 quid taken off.
That's absolutely tremendous news. Nothing put people I know off more than the prospect of £20 entry - it might only be £4, but it sounds an awful lot lower. Hopefully the club are rewarded by a wee boost in ST uptake and walk-ups.
Well done Dumbarton , great prices , hope many more clubs do the same and can get increases crowds because of it

Like many, I imagine, I am a long-time Football Weekly listener and I was quite concerned when there was the split last summer. I have to say, how it has developed has surprised me.
The Totally Football Show (crap name) made a good start and different guests such as David Preece, who is very good to listen to, made it seem fresh and a good bet. Since then, however, I've started to lose patience with it a bit. There's clearly a bit of beef between Richardson and Honigstein and I can't work out which one of them seems more of an arsehole. They seem to be constantly sniping at each other. Also, Richardson has a very annoying habit of interrupting speakers when they are developing a point, which often leads to interesting sounding ideas not being completed. It does have some good guests and can be good, but the big surprise for me in recent weeks is that I've noticed I've been enjoying Football Weekly more than TFS.
I wasn't keen on the idea of Rushden taking over, but to be fair he has grown into it very well. He is clearly a football fan (not really sure Richardson is) and has a relatively strong level of contribution on matters around Cambridge's level. Richardson basically knows nothing about anything that isn't the top level of the Premier League or Serie A. Glendenning can be annoying, but I find that I agree with a lot of his grumpy views on football. Jonathon Wilson is probably an acquired taste, but he brings a lot to it with his knowledge of out of the way leagues and cricket etc. Overall, I think FW is winning this season, which is not what I expected back in the summer.
A quick word for one thing Totally Football are getting right, which is the excellent Tottally Football League Show with Iain MacIntosh. Some great guests, a genuinely passionate and informed pair of regular presenters and a wealth of interesting information about Football League clubs. It's very good.
I tried Quickly Kevin Will He Score? and found that ,while the guests were quite interesting, the presenters were just too annoying for me. I couldn't get past the high pitched laughing that seemed to accompany every sentence.
Graham Hunter's interviews seem to be really good. I particularly enjoyed the Walter Smith and Paul Clement episodes. However, as others have mentioned, Hunter himself is utterly insufferable and I've had to give that up.
The BBC World Football Phone-In used to be one of the highlights of my week. In the last few months I've noticed that I no longer listen to it every week. If it's Tim Vickery and the excellent Mark Gleeson, then I won't miss it. If it's Mina Rzouki I definitely won't listen to it. I find her impossible to stand. The callers are also very repetitive and often lead the panelists down very familiar paths. I'm not sure how many times I've heard Vickery's story about David Luiz building bridges between the Brazilian public and the national team during the social unrest there. Not his fault, just lots of repeat questions. That said, it still has the occasional great moment where a decent question leads to a genuinely interesting comment from one of the panelists. Dotun's heart is in the right place, but he's clearly being told to balance the footballing aspect of the show with the fact that it is not really a stand-alone show, but is part of Up All Night so has to try and appeal to other people who happen to be listening. It's ok, but perhaps not as fresh as it once was.
I've found that this season I've completely given up on Sportsound and Off the Ball. Kris Boyd was the end of the Sportsound journey for me. It's just descended into a Radio Clyde-style tabloid show which is well below the standards you expect from the BBC. Occasionally excellent, but usually crap. Off the Ball was once magnificent, but again I found that I was regularly seeing the names of the guests and just thinking 'no thanks'. Drifted from it over a few months and now no longer consider listening to it. I've lived abroad for 11 years now and Sportsound and Off the Ball were always anchors to the fitba world, but no longer seem to be.
Good round up mate , will try some of them

Doesn’t it go into the SPFL pot? I think it does and the money shared out. That’s what happens generally with Alba.I didn’t know that mate. Asking as it’s extra games and basically a final. The more money the clubs get the better.

With both playoff games being on BBC Alba , how much do you reckon each team gets from TV rights ?
