Rovers Radio

Rover radio kicked off with our resident commentators of Richard Bulmer, Michael Flahive and Sam Wills. Guest spots were filled by Mitch Westhead and Barry Bird.

A full feature story will appear shortly in the local papers with a photo.
The boys warmed to the task and did a commendable job. With their knowledge of the players including some of their off field behaviour  it gave the broadcast a truly local flavour.

At half time we were fortunately able to secure a first by interviewing the CEO of the VAFA Phil Stevens who provided an insight into the Association and also spoke of the change of rules on reinstatement as well as sponsorship and general club behaviour.

Reception was generally good, but supporters claimed that they could not find us and others found that it was on 89 and not 90 as advertised. Investigation into this will hopefully sort out some of these bugs as we continue to grow the concept.

Any ideas, comments by supporters would be welcome and they can email me on barryb@defencehealth.com.au.

WE will be broadcasting again this home game.

All our sponsors were given a workout and the Buxton scoreboard was most prominent.

Thanks Birdie, Local Sports Radio.
