[GongPanther]

Sound the trumpets, ring the bells, The Festival of the Boot - Parts 1 and 2 in 2016 is back!!!

First up on Saturday from 2pm the AFL Grand Final between the Swans and the Doggies. Then on Sunday the NRL grand Final between the Sharks and the Storm from 6.30pm. So turn on the telly, turn down the sound and crank up ABC NewsRadio and enjoy the two-pronged affair Festival of the Boot with Rampaging Roy Slaven and HG Nelson.

Back to you Wally in the sound-proof booth..

The broadcast will work especially well for those who have pay TV.

1/ From about 6:20 p.m.on your Foxtel remote,press the Foxtel Tunes button located to the left of the top button on the remote.

2/ Scroll upwards to ABC NewsRadio and press select.

3/ Turn the Channel Nine coverage on,and mute it from 6:30 p.m.

4/ Make sure you have you external speakers set up from the rear of the Foxtel Box and not the acual TV you will be watching the football on.

5/ I will provide a podcast link a few days after the match,so one can watch the replay whilst listening to the Roy & H.G. call again.

N.B. Be sure to record the full game from Nine (you can only record the Foxtel replay later that evening)

This also of course applies for those who want to watch the AFL match with Roy & H.G. calling the game next Saturday.

Enjoy.

Remember everyone,if you need to set up your audio,do it by 6:15 pm incase for whatever reason you get stuck.

If any problems,I'll be here to give advice after the Illawarra Cutters V Burliegh Bears clash.

 

[Phil McGrawhan]

[ed-grimley]

If I'm home I'll do it.
Last year I was driving back from Melbourne on AFL GF day. There was hardly any traffic on the road and I had a good run listening to the boys. And I can't even stand the game.

 

[Jason Maher]

Will be listening, as I do every year.

They stopped inventing interesting nicknames

They need to return to great names like "the brick with eyes" or the "far side"

 

[Jason Maher]

The occasionally still come up with a beauty. In last year's AFL Grand Final, they were calling West Coast Eagles' full forward Josh Kennedy the "Cuban Missile Crisis".

 

[Big Salad]

Their call of the 2004 GF was a classic. They got stuck into Walker and Hodges all game (and fortunately those two game them plenty of material that night).

Also loved the call a couple of years ago with the Bulldogs ear biting incident.

I remember when Tommy Raudonikis was coaching NSW, every time he was shown on TV talking to someone, Roy and HG would immediately respond "ah, and there's Tommy telling them about that time he trod in the poo".

 

[Desert Qlder]

Anything will be better than the Cronulla Supporters Club to be heard in the Channel Nine combox.

Either you love them,or hate them.

But you decided to come into this thread to announce to the entire world that you hate them.

Good for you!

Now that you have completed your lifelong mission...you can now go to Woolies and buy a pack of birdseed.Then go to your local park and spend all day feeding your only friends.

Ah, those were the days.

Yes,they certainly where the days.And some of those players ended up having two nick names,which I'll list later on.

Anyone buy The Best Of Roy & H.G.(double CD) ? I did a few weeks ago,(haven't listened to it yet) but I am going to give it a listen when I'm full as a boot after Sunday's GF,whilst at the same time reading through the game thread during the GF replay that night.
