Sheffield v Leigh radio broadcast : Thu Feb 16, 2012 4:11 pm  

Hi all. I don't know whether you're aware but we at Leigh Centurions will be doing a live match radio broadcast from the Don Valley Stadium when we play you on Sunday 19th Feb. The broadcast will start approximately 30 minutes before kick off, at which time the radio player will become available on http://www.leighlife.com. You will know we are on air when you see the radio box, and when you see this, you just need to click play. Those who want to tune in on their phones/tablets etc need to download either 'TuneIn radio' for iPhones etc or 'A Online Radio' for Android devices, just go to 'add new channel' and the URL for the channel is http://radio.leighlife.com/centurions. Unfortunately you won't be able to access the channel until the radio is switched on but I will post on here pre-match when we are live so that you can find us. (Please note: The above paragraph only concerns those who are listening in on mobile devices, those at home on their PC's/laptops, just need to go to Leighlife.com.) We will also be doing 'shout outs' live on the radio so if you want a mention, just post your message on this board, LeighLife.com or on our twitter page @leighcenturions and we'll do our best to include it. We have done quite a few broadcasts now and they've all been very successful so if you can't get to the game, please listen in.

Sounds good.

Maybe this could be something that Eagles could look at running?

Actually thinking about this, only run it if Badvibes isn't commentating.

We've done 4 broadcasts now (3 friendlies and Barrow last week) and they've been very successful.

The coverage we receive on conventional radio is dire in our area and obviously it depends on whether there is a football or super league game on before they'll even think of covering a Leigh game, so we at Leighlife decided to join forces with the Centurions to provide uninterrupted 80 mins coverage of all our home games and a few away games where facilities permit. The Don Valley stadium is one of those places.

We are self sufficient in that all we need is the space to set all our gear up and an electricity supply near by, unfortunately not all grounds can supply this which is unfortunate because ideally we'd like to cover all games, home and away.

All you need is a generator then.

Seriously - great idea.

That sounds remarkably familiar.

Good luck with it!

Sounds a good idea especially if my naming certian sponsors you can cover any of the costs etc.

I agree with HL though

So....what's the weather like over there? Should I put my vest and thermals on?

It's quite cold, it'll be freezing in DVS, a really cold stadium.

Do they have a stash of whisky on the concourse bars? Genuine question by the way!
