So, Warren losing his patience with Bob from Sompting, text or phoning in with his negativity.

So who is Bob from Sompting? I can think of a few candidates...

Straight talking Warren as always, with words something along the lines of...." even if we won 5-0 he'd find a scapegoat and something to be negative about".

This is just one of the reasons why most listeners like Warren Aspinall. Says exactly what he's thinking rather than giving media answers.

It's farcical that they keep saying things like 'don't bother to text in if you are going to be so negative'. They are the broadcaster, they control what they read out.

Bob from Sompting is quite obviously a Palace fan.

BBC Sussex need to stop giving him the air time he craves.

Good luck with that. Over the years, they have let Neil Kane, Timmy and FG amongst others on air continually to continue their puerile trolling on a different medium. I think they are just glad that someone has phoned them.

Yorkshire Bill must have a direct line in as he is on every week. He's a bit of a tool but does talk a fair bit of sense sometimes and I have grown to enjoy his weekly call

What, Hugo First?

Probably too busy writing his book - Entering the Haunted House.

I disagree. Ernest, like FG, doesn't reply, but he/she has insight, and is funny (most of the time). FG was just rude, thick, racist, wrong, and dull.

Who was the chap who came on most weeks when Harty was doing it sounded like a snob or similar from the Lewes area.

Reading earlier posts found him Hugo.

He's a top man, been following the Albion since the early 70's, maybe even earlier and has carried on despite moving north and attends most games. OK, so he may get passionate and frustrated on some calls but that's what happens when you spend your time & money following Albion.
