My feedback after listening to the first half would be try to avoid long pauses in the commentary, it probably doesn't seem like it behind the mic but you can really tell when listening. Try and describe where the action is taking place a lot more.

To be honest ben's done a lot better in the second half

Re: Rhubarb radio : Tue Dec 26, 2017 1:26 pm  

I wonder if it boils down to their location on the ground and if he can read the names on the shirts

Re: Rhubarb radio : Tue Dec 26, 2017 1:36 pm  

Found myself counting the times the word THAT was used, driving THAT ball, carrying ThAT ball etc etc plus long pauses in Comentry

Re: Rhubarb radio : Tue Dec 26, 2017 1:39 pm  

Some crowd noise would be good. Sounded like Wakefield library.
Maybe get the north stand miked up?
Always difficult with so many subs keeping track of who's on the field.
Decent first effort. Looking forward to listening through the season.

Like others have said the pauses were longer than normal but like anything it'll get better as time goes on. Some confusion on who got what but that might have been a confidence issue or viewing position but all in all well done. Gutted I couldn't make it as I got a few tickets and couldn't go so the commentary was a bonus

There were no names on the shirts

There didn't appear to be names on shirts for either team, so probably didn't help a commentator.

Fair enough then unless you followed a team you are unlikely to immediately recognise them. I have to admit that on more than one occasion over the years recognising the Wakefield team could be quite difficult

It was pretty quiet in the crowd today.
Pre season games are usually fairly quiet, unless there's a bit of biff.
