Horrible. Humanity so disappointingly ignorant.
Three horse races are never much value, but I'll sometimes throw a fiver on the complete outsider.Cajunboy wrote:ssuing Authority has been declared to run in the following race:
Saturday 23 December
12.20 Haydock (Racing TV) Beginners' Chase (Class 3) 2m+
There are three runners and James Bowen is booked to ride.
Nicky Henderson says that Issuing Authority has come on from his first run of the season at Exeter. He says that James Bowen was keen to drop him back in trip and whilst he's slightly concerned about the expected heavy ground, he hopes for a good run.
Three horse race, so not a betting proposition.
I guess Haydock could well be called off if the weather is really foul again.

Yes me too, I did enjoy the weekly podcast. Guess I’ll have to try one of she others see what they are like.
I know it wasn't the greatest podcast out there, but with talkSport and the BBC and Sky obsessed by the Prem, any Wanderers content was music to my ears.BoltonTillIDie wrote:I believe it’s been scrapped by the BBC they have mentioned that they may come back in another form. Put a sponsor on there and use Acast and they could easily resurrect it. Sounds like they were surprised as much as we were, especially with it being mid-season.

They did say, as they ended the final show to 'watch this space', so maybe there's something in the pipeline.
Probably a limited audience at best, for The Wanderer. A few old farts like myself might listen in, but it was never gonna storm the charts.Sluffy wrote:
I guess it is all about what their motives for doing the podcasts are and how motivated they are in continue doing them.
I assume one of them had the idea, BBC Manchester backed it and everything was laid on for them and they got a bit of pocket money for their troubles.
I don't listen to Radio Manchester and always thought it was odd to have a show on Bolton whilst there are a number of other clubs too in their broadcasting area.
Why would say Wigan or Stockport fans want to tune in to listen to it, let alone United and City supporters?
I can't imagine the viewing figures have ever been high for the show.
So if everything is not laid on for them would they still be bothered to arrange things and sort stuff out themselves - Dearden and Tetlow don't seem to me to be that sort, they are more used to others doing all the hard work behind the scenes than doing it themselves, I suspect.
Maybe if the other bloke is prepared to do all that stuff, if so then perhaps they would reform and carry on again, but then you get the question of how much they still want to do it.
It's one thing having a show on BBC Radio, it's another if it's on 'Acast' - I for one have never heard of Acast before BTID post above and have absolutely no idea how to listen to the podcast if it was put on there - I suspect Dearden and Tetlow may be the same and more importantly those who listen to the podcast on Radio Manchester are probably more likely to be older and more traditional listeners like me than younger 'and more with it' Acast listeners.
So the question then becomes are they doing the podcasts simply for the love of doing so or are they after something in terms of recognition (and praise and appreciation) from others?
I suspect Dearden and Tetlow like being the centre of attention and being talked about - maybe my impression of them is wrong though?
Who knows?
I don't really care if they return or not - I won't be listening either way, I suspect they probably won't be though because when we've had troubles with Nuts in the past (and we have) we've immediately got together and talked about solutions and ways around the problems and I would have expected them to have done the same and talked about what they are going to do to make next weeks podcast and not be talking about looking for sponsors and 'watch this space' comments.
The show must go on as they say but it seems from what's been said there doesn't seem to be any immediate thoughts or plans from them on how to make next weeks podcast, does there?
