Well ta very much... unless you were talking about Paul, the Wolverhampton-accented chap, who shared the first half with me, in which case I'll say thanks on his behalf!

We've got a good 'squad' going now and I expect that we should be able to cover all the remaining games, home and away.

I'm going to edit together audio highlights of last night's game and if there is room for them then perhaps we'll be able to get them up on the main website.

Cheers for the support, especially those who went to the effort of texting in. Seeing a listener number on screen is all very well but getting feedback is tonnes better.

It might have been my pithy summarising of chances and action he meant....and my increasingly loud ooohs and ahhhs and no ways at notgetting those pens.. Love commentating alongside Pete....although I notice I don't get a credit in the highlights package Pete put together!!

I made up for it on the AFCRDTV highlights package by being in the backgroubd beehind Starms interview at the start. Doesn't tv put pounds on!!

I would like to thank you for the excellent commentary of the Sileby match. I was unable to attend this match due to work although I managed to listen to most of your commentary, weekday matches unless at home are very difficult for me to attend. Great work guy's.

Paul, I found 'our' half was already pushing three mins despite me cutting out as much as I could... Next time I'll reserve you a set slot!

Some very dodgy half-time music though.....

Yeah, I'll echo what Pete said, we did break a record for number of listeners, we actually peaked at 77 during the second half with me and Darren after looking at the stats again, and it is brilliant when people text in!

We do have plans for more things to come, and we will almost definitely be at all the remaining games, as well as ideas for a website we have in the near future, where we can upload full commentaries and exclusive interviews, like we did with Ralph on Tuesday night, which many fans might not have heard.

Like we always mention, we welcome feedback from anyone listening to commentary, and many will be pleased to hear that Gangnam Style has officially been removed from the netbook!
