Football Focus is in peril due to plunging viewing figures ahead of its 50th anniversary with the show struggling to recover since Dan Walker was replaced by Alex Scott, according to an expert who spoke to the Mail.
The 49-year-old programme has lost more than one third of its early-season audience in the space of four years, with the average weekly viewing figures for August falling from 849,000 in 2019 to just 564,000 last month.
The most dramatic fall in viewing figures coincides with Alex Scott replacing Dan Walker as Focus’s main presenter in 2021.
In Walker’s last season before he was moved on the average weekly August audience was 827,000, before dropping to 809,000 in 2021, 599,000 12 months later and 564,000 this year.
Scott is not being blamed by her bosses, though, and remains highly regarded at the BBC, who are set to give the former England defender a prominent presenting role at next summer’s Olympics.
Brand and culture expert Nick Ede told MailOnline that the departure of Dan Walker was a huge blow to the Beeb, with new host Alex Scott struggling to stem that tide of viewers who left with him. …
The future of Football Focus is the subject of urgent talks at the BBC due to a dramatic drop in viewing figures.
Could it have anything to do with the diversity hire replacing the white bloke? Of course not. And if it is (which it isn’t) then it just shows how deplorable the audience is, who must be duly ignored.

We might find out more when these people are activated. There are enough of them, many with experience of arms, to create quite a problem for western security. In the UK, Farage has pointed out that the bulk of illegals crossing the channel are likely to have had first hand experience(my phrasing) and possible involvement with what we call terrorism.
I have been posting virtually since coming to DS four years ago that the single, and predominantly young, male immigrants are an invading army. I see no reason to change that point of view.
And we know how Muslims like to hijack public spaces as a ‘show of strength’.
Exactly
Makes me wonder who is behind the mass increase of people we do not want nor need in the UK. Who are all these people and what threat do they pose is not even asked in the UK, at least in Germany there is an attempt to do so.
The true insanity of all of this is the deliberate importation of people who hate us, our way of life, the West in general. They mean us nothing but harm and they do not come here to improve their way of life, anyone who claims they do will likely be the first ones shot when the day comes.
No, in Germany there is no public or acknowledged attempt to analyse what is going on with all these immigrants – sorry, except for the AfD, criticized as extreme right-wing by the media. I had never heard of the magazine Cicero but congratulations to them on performing investigative journalism – a lost art.
And I do not believe that all immigrants hate us or our way of life, whereby some certainly will. But I am sure the majority are here because they get free money, free accommodation, free food, free medical care and so on.
Not only that but the sums of money are, for truly poor people, astronomical. It is rarely mentioned but I read several years ago that every immigrant in Germany receives around €600 to €700 per month. These are incredible sums of money for people used to surviving on a fraction of that amount.
So those that make it to Europe are, in my opinion, just completely sensible human beings: they are being offered 24/7 sustenance and care, together with all sorts of legal assistance, for the simple reason of being here.
So do not blame the immigrants, blame the politicians who, for whatever reason, ignore public opinion and think there are unlimited resources to support this operation.
I also blame Think Tanks & charities like Open Society headed by George Soros. And SERCO here in UK doing very well from at all. The Grandson of Churchill himself has a hand in with them.
What do you suppose this is meant to signify? I’m just wondering why people would go to this amount of effort;

Don’t know about you but I get tired of feeling confused and flabbergasted at this new dimension we seem to had slipped into!
Well it’s a short clip and maybe there’s some sort of context missing, maybe a link to the band that’s playing, but it just struck me as rather weird and random, that’s all. I think your “new dimension” can be summed up as the woke mind virus, imo. It’s behind every agenda, including migration, and is driven by the Leftards. They’re the ones effing up our society and kids futures.
Communism all the way down.
When reality hits for the idiots inhabiting such as Glasto they are going to fall to earth with one hell of a bang.
Well I’m wondering how many of that crowd would vote Reform. Call me judgemental but I’m thinking not many. Majority Labour perhaps? It wouldn’t surprise me.
My bet is an even split between Labour, Lib Dims and the Green eco-nutters.
How could I forget the Greens?! Yes that sounds about right. Especially considering this…Christ, I used to love Blur. This is just reminiscent of the atrocious Kaiser Chiefs ( whose music I also used to like ) and whatsisname asking what vax everybody got. Cringetastic or what? Can’t these bands just play music and not get into current affairs or divisive subjects? Maybe the eejit assumes he’s got no Jewish/Israeli fans in the crowd;

I agree Mogs. The vast majority of slebs should STFU when it comes to matters of the day.
The true insanity of all of this is the deliberate importation of people who hate us, our way of life, the West in general.
They’re being imported by people who hate us, our way of life, the West in general, see also the so-called climate emergency, among many other things. They probably don’t really mean to import outright islamists unless – as I strongly suspect for the Mohammed G case – there’s money to be made doing so, but since they’re all pretty thick and not exactly wise in the ways of the world (typical career of a German politician is A levels => university => party => parliament), that’s what they end up doing.
“There is money to be made doing so”…..I think that is the crux of the issue, same with Lockdowns, jab fascism etc. Ben Rubin took a dive into some new Think Tanks that fund pro-free movement organisations on UKC show yesterday.

I was thinking more of ordinary petty corruption/ bribery. To me, the story sound like someone who’s made Pakistan a little bit too hot to hold him seeking more congenial location in exchange for payment.
Judges trained in Sharia Law are hardly likely to be in danger from a Sharia crazed bunch of lunatics running the Afghanistan asylum are they? They are going to Germany to impose Sharia Law and the UK Government do not have any idea who is coming here nor why and do not even care about the consequences of their non-actions.
Starmergeddon is going to accelerate the process dramatically, 2-3 terms and we will be swamped with people who loathe us. Hopefully, Kiernocchio will be the first one they take out.
Eugyppius is always a good read
What is wrong with these types of so called politicians , doing all they can for the rest of the world but F-ck all for their own people which supposed to be their prime objective !!

I know someone who worked in a hotel in Chelmsford which was completely taken over by Afghan bigwigs around 2019, think they only got moved on in 2023. Seems like there were a few hotels around Essex filled with Afghans, probably other parts of the country too.
So, the essence is that members of the Bündnis 90/ Die Grünen (official German name of the Green party) who are well aware that their party is wildy unpopular among actual Germans have founded a NGO for airlifting people from Afghanistan to Germany who claim to support policies of the Greens where they then will be granted voting rights because “democracy necessitates this” within six months (that was a plan which got withdrawn because of a popular outcry). And people opposed to this are obviously “Nazis”, as the governing parties (they’re doubtlessly all complicit in this either there or in other parts of the world) keep telling Germany and the larger world all the time.
Ain’t representative ‘democracy’ great? And aren’t the US democrats running a similar Wer keine Wähler hat, der macht sich welche! (If the electorate doesn’t support you, fabricate one which will!) feigned-compassion racket? Or the equally immigration happy British establishment parties?
