107.7 the wolf

[Deleted member 13084sr]

anybody remember the wolf? 107.7, commentary followed by the phone in, Shaped many Saturday afternoons in the 90's waiting for central goals extra to come on. phone in would be be lively after defeats at places like the Manor or County ground which was common. remember some doom and gloom merchant caller called roger always on. sure the was a Wolves tv channel aswell for a while, kept asking tony daley on the side of the pitch how much longer he reckons hes gonna be out for, think it was an hour here or there on live TV, the home of topless darts

Roger from Wolverhampton was the first person I thought of when I read the thread title. He was a miserable sod. We could have a big win and he'd find something to moan about. I like to think his heart was in the right place. His mind was somewhere else though.

I remember the Wolves show on Live TV. I don't remember the topless darts though.

I do.

I remember some astonishing doubles but can't remember a treble

 

[Mutchy]

Football, not topless darts please...

 

[Jonzy54]

I remember Bill Staite from Wombourne and Michael from Preston ringing in each week .
Bill Hatton and Pete Moody were the commentators .I used to work with Pete back in the day.

Should I start a separate thread?

 

[Mutchy]

Not in the football section.

Sorry, Mutchy.

Bill Hatton lived next door to my Uncle

Who was the useless commentator that replaced them years later.....George Andrews? And Dave Rowe? My god, Andrews was horrific, not breaking the cringe-o-meter like Mikey Burrows but still pretty awful - 'and the ball goes spinning away....' then silence....thanks George.

He's probably one of the big hitters on here!

 

[MasWolf]

Wasn't Robbie Dennison on co comms during the early 00s? I remember the commentators being very biased and a lot of "come on Wolves!" whenever we scored

These guys were great. Much better than the current encumbants. As much as I loved Thommo as a player, he brings me right down as a commentator.

It used to do my head it when Bill Hatton used to say ‘Wolves have to score’ but invariably we didn’t

Wasn’t it Bill and Pete who used to infuriate me by really building up a Wolves arrack only to drop to almost a whisper or a groan when things didn’t work out??

Yes

 

[Egga]

I go to pretty much every game so didn’t listen to radio commentary very often. One game, Brighton away at the Withdean I couldn’t get tickets so listened on the Radio. I don’t remember who was commentating but it went something like this. Great save from Murray how did he save that? Oh he didn’t it’s gone in. Never listened again

 

[SmokeyGB]

Football, not topless darts please...

Pair of Bristol's not allowed

So Sorry Mutchy having a bad day but that thought just made me giggle internally.

 

[Torbay Wolf]

Bill and Pete started their commentary 'career' back in 1990-91 on Radio Wulfrun, the hospital radio station serving New Cross, the Royal and the old Eye Infirmary. Occasionally, I would help out too, either at the ground or as the station link in a studio above the Medical Records department in one of the really old buildings on the New Cross site. Happy days.

 

[Dubwolf71]

Coincidence that the thread start time is 606?

 

[MelbourneWolf]

Remember listening to matches in the middle of the night on The Wolf when the internet became a thing. Even got a shout out when I emailed in in after the play off final. I was a bit pumped up

 

[LINT70]

Maybe it’s some kind of Countdown Conundrum- 107 + 606 x the amount of Scott Sellars rants on here divided by the number of players we are about to sign = 1877

It’s all a conspiracy I tell ya!

 

[TFWanderers]

I’ve never heard Bill & Petes commentary of the play off final in 2003 as I was there but apparently it was superb.

 

[TFWanderers]

Yeah they used to have him on quite often.

 

[MasWolf]

Yeah they used to have him on quite often.

Those were the days! Trying to imagine what goals looked like in real life and then watching the 30 second highlights on TV the next day to find I was completely wrong!

 

[Bossworld]

Was this the same one still running in the early 00s?

There was a chap off here who used to ring up and introduce himself as “Dr Cool off the Molineux Mix”.

Wonder if he still posts on here

Dr Cool has now morphed into Arctic Rime on here

Remember the wolf then became signal radioI think going back further in time
Beacon radios goal klaxon. No live comms back then just goal updates

You can’t divide by 0

 

[Rhoswolf]

In the late1970's Beacon used to play a rock track every time we scored, may have been Judas Priest, anyone remember?

Yes it was

The WM goal klaxon still makes my stomach churn when I hear it.

Nowt wrong with Mikey Burrows.

107.7, recently Signal 107.7 although it may have changed again. 107.7 had the radio rights the League 1 season if i’m not mistaken, probably still the same management/ staff as back then. I remember the wolf days well, used to listen all the time, was the 03/04 Leicester 4-3 on that station? cant quite remember

 

[Adrian_Monk]

Nowt wrong with Mikey Burrows.

.....except he somehow manages to ruin rare Raul goals with his cringefest shouting repetition of 'Raul Jimenez, Raul Jimenez, Raul Jimenez, Raul Jimenez, would you believe it, the Mexican sensation' *yawn*

Different folks and all that but I'd sooner listen to nails down a blackboard accompanying a Wolves goal

Daft Roger.

Seems a lovely bloke and passionate about Wolves. BUT……

I can’t stand the fact he has to say everything in threes. “It’s Pedro Neto, Pedro Neto, Pedro Neto. Would you believe it, would you believe it, would you believe it. It’s sensational, it’s remarkable, it’s incredible”. It’s almost like he can’t think of any words to say, so just repeats himself. Frustrating.

And I go to most games so only have to put up with it on the highlights reel!

As for the “The Mexican sensation” line…

'The boy wonder'...bore off Mikey.

So glad the club now put out reels without his regurgitated ****e spoiling them as well.
