Match statistics

The Radio Five Live Blog has become something of a bear-pit for Controller Adrian Van Klaveren. He's posted about the most recent audience figures - and a group of regulars are not happy in the comments.

I think the loss of some Premiership commentaries is really significant for the station. The reporting period for the next quarter runs 20th September to 19th December, with results public on February 3rd.   During that time, Talksport have 23 games to themselves. That compares with just 8 in the previous quarter, when 5Live Sports Xtra figures dropped to 145,000.
