Where is Peter Lloyd???
Where is Peter Lloyd???
If Peter is missing that is worrying I do hope he and his family are OK.
Peter Lloyd was at the game, they just didn`t let him near the mic for some reason.
How can he travel if he's not working?
Fucking annoying if he has travelled and not worked! The situation is dangerous enough at the moment! To be honest, probably shouldnt be travelling anyway!
Covid protocols means that the home radio commentary team will do the commentary for both the home and away streams although there might be exception for "local" derbies like Gillingham v Charlton.
This way the away team don't have to travel potentially half way across the country across areas that might be in different lockdown tiers. I pity the supporters of any opposition teams playing at Priestfield who is not familiar with the idea of commentators cheering about goals scored without actually saying what happened.
Peter Lloyd has still been doing the co-commentating until today, alongside a commentator from the away team’s local area, eg at Plymouth.
This is because he has media accreditation from the club, not the BBC, who are not allowing their journalists to travel out of their areas for the reason you give.
At the Plymouth game, I remember the local Devon commentator keep referring to Peter as Peter Lloyd from Gillingham FC (not Radio Kent). I was flickinhg radio channels before the match and thought I heard him on there. Not sure whether he was watching from home on a screen or at the match? He wasn't on the live comm. Would be a shame if his record has gone, but at the same time, can understand why it would.
Peter we was at the ground. He gave a situation and weather report to the R/kent studio (from the ground) just before kick-off. Don`t know why he didn`t co-commentate. My guess would be that, as the colour man from the R/Lancashire team was actually part of the Accy playing/coaching staff, it was a Covid thing. Not only does that explain his bias but it might also be the case that he, or someone at Accy was not happy with Peter L`s presence, from a distancing perspective ? Just a guess. For what it`s worth, the actual play by play commentator was, IMO, very good.
I liked the Lancs commentator. Take him over the screaming RK one every week.
Given that they kept saying the commentary was for Radio Kent and iFollow as well as Lancs, you’d have thought he would have toned down (or been told to tone down) the biased and not kept referring to their players by their first names as other than hardcore Stanley fans I doubt anyone had a scoobie who he was talking about!
Peter was NOT present. he was watching the live stream in the studio. rk confirmed when i complained he was missing.
