  • Really disappointing recent changes

    First let me say I’ve been listening to the Ramble since dodgey audio in a kitchen. However the last few weeks have really soured the pod. The addition of video seems to have broken the downloads, and when it does download it seems to play adverts over the main audio, or has issues with pausing and skipping.

  • Issues with ads & downloads

    Have seen others commenting the same so leaving a negative review so it gets fixed — ever since integrating video, there’s been issues with playback, where the ads can’t be paused/skipped/or navigated. For the last two episodes too, downloads have been unavailable. Please fix as this my favourite podcast but it’s becoming unusable lately!!

Q: What changes have we seen in how fans and clubs view new signings over the years?
