It has to be the worst Radio phone in show ever, the pundits are shocking, no-one asks any pertinent questions when they have the chance. It is good for comedy value lately though and our gorgeous Ange is the only shining light Gouranga.

I very rarely agree with Bayern but I also aren't very much for Angela. Although that's all I'll say about her. I don't think it is a minority point of view either, it's just not being personal when saying your opinion. I just turn radio/tv off when it comes to the end of the match. If I want the post match interview normally just wait for Stoke to tweet it.

Lee Blakeman is probably the worst on there though, he should not commentate on any Stoke games at all. Any sly dig he can get in about stoke he does, it is ridiculous considering he's working for radio STOKE!

No one will stop you spouting the same shit day in day out but like you say your entitled to it just like everyone else Iām not on local radio every week getting paid for the privilege sadly. The whole Radio Stoke set up is fucking awful anyway. And no one they use regularly brings anything to it. Lawrence was good and honest but heās disappeared now. But I never listened to it before and now Iām forced it to and I want to chop my ears off. Yeah Lawrence was about the best, does Smudge ever get asked go on Sport at Six any more he normally had some good points

Crewe have their own match, on their own channel all afternoon, then because they have to play extra time, we all, Stoke and Vale fans- regardless of what out matches turned out like- are then subjected to McGarry with his Crewe worship. 99% of those listening to P and G are Stoke or Vale fans, but all must wait until the Crewe saga is played out. For Gods sake, its called RADIO STOKE! No one is interested in Crewe except McGarry who is a Crewe fan and Radio Stoke sports editor. Sod McGarry off, and bring back John Akers to comment on the Stoke games. Nige it now seems, has become nothing more than a diluted Stoke critic. At least, fan or not, Akers did put on a show of being one, and brought some passion to a game, regardless of how bad was. At least Akers didn't bore us to death during the game or during P and G after the game.The least said about the other Stoke commentator the better, he is boredom personified..

It's such an amateurish station. So why the hell do SCFC choose to take their pathetic offering and overdub it to the stream? Either cos it's the cheapest option and/or they just don't care.

Its probably just them following what they consider bigger stories of the day. Obviously crewe were still playing and vale's form/askeys future is probably a bigger story than our goalless bore draw in Sheffield. Nobody in Staffordshire gives a monkey's fart about Crewe. Can you imagine the station in Bristol giving Yeovil equal coverage to City or Rovers? It just wouldn't happen. Why would BBC Bristol start talking about Yeovil when Yeovil are covered by BBC Somerset? Crewe arent covered by any other BBC station so that's obviously why they feature on ours. I dont wanna hear about them either but like it or not they've been on there for 20+ years. It's pretty obvious why they chose to air FA cup extra time live football over asking people to call in and talk about a 0-0 draw, rather petty thing to get riled up over if you ask me.

Like many Iām being forced to listen to their tin pot commentary with watching the streams. We can all forgive Nige but Blakeman is pathetic. When u watch the game whilst listening you realise how little insight you get through the commentary. Just garbage. He not there to offer his opinion heās there to explain whatās going on. Plus do we really need to know when Plymouth score?! Update on champ games fair enough, and the local sides but they seem spend more time doing that than explaining what is going on. Blakemans football knowledge is awful.

Ange doesn't speak for me, but I was on her radio show a few times and she was nothing but polite and welcoming. Yes she has her opinion that often differs from mine but for fucks sake you don't have to be so cuntish, she's a decent lady that loves Stoke.

This is NOT an attack on Ms Smith who Iām sure, as you say, is a most charming and delightful lady. Itās just that sheās so monotone, dull and boring with opinions no different or more informed than the next guy. Her continued presence on Radio Stoke smacks of amateurish production and sheer laziness in bringing different, more informed punditry to the table.

The Ange crowd will be along shortly to tell us all that she knows way more about Stoke City because she once played a game of squash.
The problem is that your alternative is to listen to a man that calls himself 'Jonty'.

ok,first,all the linguistic experts on here go and record your own voice and play it back and if you are stoke born and bred you may recognise the dull and flat tone of the "potteries / north staffs dialect..then find an old recording of a match,commentate on it and then play it back and then send it off to the national radio networks and wait for a reply!! now ,that said the ange n nige show is pretty dire as far as "sports reporting" goes and radio stoke or signal have never been much better than sixth form standard,,the esteemed "louise n perry "is a classic example of pot bank fm but in the end it is ,as its title states so often "local" radio.... nige has become our murray walker and long may he continue to faux par his way through a game,,,as far as sandoz and blakeman are concerned ,they wind me up almost to the point of writing to the radio times,is it still in circulation?....as far as the crewe coverage goes its a historic thing from the pre internet days that most of the posters on here perhaps cant comprehend?,,,back then there was no local radio and all we had was the sentinel final and stoke and vale were top of the bill followed by the crewe and wrexham results.as an aside the population expantion and the amount of people who travel further to work ensures that radio producers have to transmit and receive info over a far wider area,as far as i know there is no "radio crewe or macclesfield!!and from what i gather on here the "official"scfc media department are worse than the local radio !!.,,,,BBP i say.

I used them as an example. As you say, Yeovil are in a separate county as are Crewe to us so I'm not sure why Radio Stoke has to cover them at all. Cheshire's a big enough area to merit it's own station. And who's getting riled? I'm making a point on a messageboard, that's sort of what they were invented for....
