Jono 38 Report post Posted December 18, 2009 Yes but they aren't Scott's (Chappers') audience, so why should the news be broken to them?Most people who depart don't want a fuss. I don't think they announced Laura was off until the day. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rik 10 Report post Posted December 18, 2009 Most people who depart don't want a fuss. I don't think they announced Laura was off until the day.I appreciate that, but there's a difference between making a fuss and not saying anything at all. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jdog55 10 Report post Posted December 18, 2009 Have to agree with Rik, IF Chappers is leaving then why is it being done in such a half assed way as if it was the teaboy leaving. Chappers for me makes the show and is as important to Scott as Comedy Dave is to Chris Moyles. Why leave it to 4 days to his departure, that is if they announce it on Mon. BTW Jono do you know more about Chappers leaving than your letting on? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chippy 10 Report post Posted December 18, 2009 Chappers leaving shows a shift in the direction of his career, from Sports news, Scott's show and the odd fill-in to more sports related work, 5live and ESPN.We all know that this is the direction he truly wants to take.Leaving Radio 1 will free him up to do more work for 5 Live and BBC Sport so good luck to him. Chappers you shall be missed! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DarkAngelMJH 12 Report post Posted December 18, 2009 I do hope it isn't the end of hearing Chappers on R1 and I hope everyone send loads of texts into R1 on his last show saying goodbye. I know I will. Quote I am Burdened with Glorious Purpose - Loki Laufeyson Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chippy 10 Report post Posted December 19, 2009 Becky's tweet said she is getting him a leaving present.A present isn't needed if he was changing shows. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kelly 10 Report post Posted December 19, 2009 I'm just really sad. I'm not angry at Chappers for leaving, because he's doing what he wants to do and I'm glad that he is, but I'm sure gonna miss him. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chippy 10 Report post Posted December 19, 2009 That would be Jono wouldn't it...I've never understood who it is.I think Jono, but then why and how would he know what Scott is always doing unless he texts Jono loads of times a day...and then why doesn't he just twitter it himself.
