Where's Bilko? : Wed Sep 14, 2016 4:19 pm  

Just wondered because there have been no match reports for a couple of weeks and I've not been able to listen to the Wish FM commentaries. Hope he's OK!

He was doing the commentary at Hull.

He has already posted on Wigan warriors that Hull was his last commentary for WISH FM.
A sad loss to the fans enjoyment if listening to their commentaries.

That's a shame, him and the other bloke are a good combo, always entertaining listening to them two even if the rugby isn't. Has he said why? Think I remember him saying during the Widnes game that he was fed up.

After the Widnes debacle, who can blame him? Sad though, I really enjoyed the commentaries. Good luck with whatever you do next, Bilko.

With WiganWarriorFans closing at the end of the season and no commentaries or match reports from Bilko, the whole season has gone to pot! Hope this site keeps going as it will be the only place us "exiles" get to know what's happening!

I'm ok. Just can't commit to radio at moment for various reasons. It was after all a totally voluntary role for me.

Twitter and Facebook have affected these forums, when I joined here in 2006 it was a hive of activity, it's not as busy anymore but sure hope this site carries on.
