I have a bit of history with this. @BBCLeicester should be ashamed at Richard’s removal. He took up the mantle from my late friend & mentor John Shaw brilliantly and is a voice enjoyed by not just @leicsccc supporters but opposition fans too. A local station should serve its 1/3

@CharlesDagnall @BBCLeicester @leicsccc A wonderful commentator. Great advocate for @leicsccc not happy as a Yorkie. If they did that to @JonathanDoidge all hell would break loose! @YorkshireCCC @BBCLeeds @JamieRaynor

@CharlesDagnall @BBCLeicester @leicsccc Y
@BBCLeicester Need to listen.
Yes I understand they have a payroll budget to hit .
However its all funded by us paying our tv licences.
We want Richard Rae back please.
Where does all the ££ dissappear too ?

@CharlesDagnall @BBCLeicester @leicsccc Couldn't agree more. An extremely knowledgeable commentator with an engaging broadcasting voice. This is a very negative change for Leicestershire County Cricket fans.

@CharlesDagnall @BBCLeicester @leicsccc Pfft i think it’s an atrocious decision to get rid of a quality broadcaster in RR, Daggers. Sadly you’ve only got to look at commercial radio and the destruction of that at local level where everything is “networked” in either Manchester or London and I feel BBC is following suit

@seandw14 @CharlesDagnall @leicsccc Would you be kind enough to consider sharing this thought with Sophie Cook at Radio Leicester. If enough emails are sent she might reconsider. thanks

@CharlesDagnall @BBCLeicester @leicsccc One of my favourite callers on the circuit. As a Glamorgan fan our paths cross frequently and Richard is always an engaging, thoughtful presence

@CharlesDagnall @olliefreck @BBCLeicester @leicsccc I agree Charlie. Richard is such a knowledgeable commentator - highly respected throughout the game. It’s a terrible decision and @BBCRLSport should reconsider. Richard will be sorely missed - he’s always welcome to share some cake in the @FoGRMeet4Cake cafe. A sad day 😢

@CharlesDagnall @BBCLeicester @leicsccc Absolute disgrace. Richard is not just a commentator. He is part of the LCCC setup. Maybe the Club should arrange for him to do the FoxesTV coverage and Big Hairy Danglely ones to @BBCLeicester

What Daggers said. Such a shame.
Richard is a top top class, award winning commentator 🏏
Sadly I’m not surprised.

@CharlesDagnall If we could all send an email to sophie.cook@bbc.co.uk it might make the difference.

Actually provides a valuable service. Especially now with the Foxes back in Division 1. The players respect Richard Rae and an awful lot of time, skill & passion (often for scant reward) has just been discarded. I’m angry (sure you can tell) and sad.

@jamesjhawkes @leicsccc James. Steve from Beds. Richard Rae about to lose job at RL. Hoping as many people as possible will contact RL to ask them to reconsider. Can you help?

Sensational work 🙇♂️, this isn’t a fluke - loads and loads of hard work (and love for the club @leicsccc ) 👏
Friends of Grace Road@FoGRMeet4Cake
FoGR has raised £23,100 from volunteer fundraising in 2025 which has been donated to @leicsccc This has helped fund a new Scarifier costing £13,500, a new carpet for The Meet, new club flags and three water fountains for spectators. Thanks to everybody who supported us 👏

@foxyphill Richard Rae about to lose job. Looking for as many as possible to contact Radio Leicester to ask they reconsider. Hope you can help.

@lcccmembers
Richard Rae, our Radio Leicester commentator for 13+ years, is about to be released by the station for financial savings. If enough of us can let the station know of our disagreement with the decision, they might just reconsider. Contact me if you can help

@FoxesCricket22 @leicsccc @BBCRLSport Thanks for all your hard work - and it must be hard watching us at times! True professional from day 1 to the end. Loved your last 4 days with Fletch. Cricket and comedy. A great combination.
