User:Large Al/The Albion Roar

The Albion RoarItalic text is a weekly, hour-long independent football radio programme, run by and for fans of Brighton & Hove Albion, and broadcast every Saturday at 12pm on Radio Reverb 97.2FM. Reverb is Community Radio station for Brighton & Hove. The show is presented by Ady Packham and Alan Wares.

The Roar has been on air since 2007, when Brighton fans Richie Parker and Jonny Harman, together with Murray Hall and Paula Woolven, approached Radio Reverb to host a weekly Albion-related show. Parker and Harman took turns each week as presenter and regular guest.

Wares joined the show in 2008, initially as a semi-regular guest, then eventually with the added role of producer - altering the format very slightly by inviting directors, ex-players, other fans and anyone else associated with the Albion on as guests. Packham joined a year later, and shared the presenting chores with Parker and Harman.

Parker left the show in 2010, and Harman in 2012, leaving Packham with the sole responsibility of presenting The Albion Roar, with Wares as studio regular. However, Wares steps in as host in Packham's occasional absence.
