Jmack   10 #169 Posted December 12, 2013 I'll beg to differ there about best show. I personally thought he was awful, couldn't stand to listen to him. They've done me a massive favour, I can listen to radio sheffield in a morning now :hihi:  He defiantly seems to divide opinion, personally I don't think that's a bad thing.

dutch   68 #170 Posted December 12, 2013 (edited) But his show is without a doubt the best one on radio Sheffield. Seems a major own goal if they've sacked him just to shows who's boss.  He has gone too far this time. If he does come back it will only be on a final warning.

joiner andy   10 #172 Posted December 12, 2013 Dont take them too serious!! They, with or without Toby, are just a group of mates having a laugh. It just so happens that a boat load of folks from Sheffield (and beyond) happen to enjoy what they do and pay money to go and see them.  Yes there are occasional rude words but who cares if it makes you smile.  O2 Academy 21st Dec SOLD OUT. Cant be such a bad thing.  Post of the day:) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Super Hans   10 #178 Posted December 12, 2013 I don't actually listen to radio but I loved him in Phoenix Nights, he should get back into acting he's very funny.  I think there could be a space in the schedule for Nick Margerrison who used to present his own talk show on Hallam - now that would make me tune in.  Nah, if BBC's history is anything to go by they will turn off the talk and put on another bland, generic music show that could be on any radio station in the world.

Mr Gobby   10 #179 Posted December 12, 2013 Toby Foster was good at what he did and that was to court controversy, he was a wind up merchant, like a lot of people on here. What he said about the unemployed, teachers etc was not malicious, it made people sit up and listen and more than likely some listeners loved to hate what he said but still tuned in .The Beeb’s figures will go down and this incident will not damage T/Fosters persona, indeed it will probably get him a lot of publicity. and a handsome contract with another station.

flynnroy   10 #180 Posted December 12, 2013 (edited) top fella Toby all the best to him he made the station what it is today with his morning show rs will suffer as a result and watch the ratings drop like fly's end of the day i bet it down to money and toby would have told them where to go hence comments on twitter and why removed later . seems like he is marmite but spoken his mind and i liked him for that.
