Customer Reviews
It’s an age thing!
You lads seem to know how I feel about the way things are going at the Vic with every show! I stood on the terrace watching in the 70’s as a 10 year old, and now listen from my home in Cornwall watching though your eyes, knowing every week you will be fair and to the point! Keep up the great work!
Still Fresh
After about a decade of listening to the guys I’m finally leaving a review. The reason it’s stayed fresh is because they often disagree, and not in a contrived way, and usually keep things in perspective—something appreciated by a fan whose first match was when we were in the third tier.
My one piece of constructive criticism would be to please put less emphasis on what people are tweeting; Adam has otherwise been a fantastic addition to the pod.
Here’s to another decade.
Love it
