    Hi Steve love your show but 1 request:

    When the new season starts can we hear more from Ron Bodie? 2011's gonna be a big year for the Amateur Ranks.

    Thanks

    Only getting to this late this week. I have always like Billy Joe Saunders, but even more so after hearing that. Hilarious. What a character.

    Thanks for all the contributions.
    I will decide a winner a soon.
    There could be a problem for the future - the show could be scrapped.
    I will keep everybody informed.

    Adios and thanks again.

    It's been kicked into touch for the next two weeks and there will probably only be about four before Christmas.
    It's total madness.
    I will get an email address for people to make contact.
    The boss told me that 'only 9,000 people downloaded it each week' and I told him that was 'only 7,000 more than downloaded the non-league show!' He fell silent. Madness.
    We have missed just one Thursday since Jan 2010.

    Adios.

    On top of that Buncey you should have told him how many listen to it on Griffs youtube channel. Aye, I will fire off an email when you post the address.

    It came as such a shock that I didn't really have a reply. I just said 'Why?'.

    Adios.

    Any chance of setting up a podcast on your own? Like Mike Graham and Parry have since being booted from talksport?

    I'd happily pay for it each week and say if you lose a few downloads because of cost, still make a nice sum!! And you'd have 100% free reign!!

    I'm pretty sure the guests you get on are because its you , not so much the BBC.

    Keep us updated

    Cheers.

    The thing with talksport is they DONT have a designated boxing journo. They have shows for fishing etc so boxing surely will get a chance. Bunce please heed my advice, you are made for talksport :good

    Wait til Walletinspector hears about this. I anoint him the captain of this campaign.

    We should do all we can to bombard the **** out of the BBC over this and get onto this lady:

    http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepag...ng-a-punch-in-Government-says-Colin-Hart.html

    At a time when there is riots and social disorder all over England, there has to be more political will to support boxing, especially with tax payers money that is subsidizing the BBC and all of their expensive pet sports. And the London 2012 Olympics around the corner and BBC Radio London of all stations are scrapping boxing - it is beyond belief!
