Saturday 18th August - Gold (West Midlands)
Tom Ross presented
The Goalzone from Upton Park
Premier League
West Bromwich Albion v Liverpool - Steve Hermon and Tony Brown (3pm Gold Black Country and Shropshire commentary)
West Ham United v Aston Villa - Tom Ross and Ian Taylor (3pm Gold Birmingham 1152AM commentary)
Championship
Leeds United v Wolverhampton Wanderers - Mikey Burrows and Matt Murray (12.45pm Gold Black Country and Shropshire commentary)
Birmingham City v Charlton Athletic - ? (3pm Gold Birmingham DAB commentary)
League One
Yeovil Town v Coventry City - Joe Holt and Dave Bennett (3pm Gold Coventry & Warwickshire and Sky Blues Player commentary)
Can anyone confirm Gold's commentary team at the Birmingham game? They've stopped name checking the commentators on The Goalzone podcasts and on the Blues one we only heard the lead commentator, who was a new voice to me. It wasn't Nathan Alleyne while Adam Bridge covered this match for BBC WM yesterday.

Thanks for posting those details, very helpful considering that not even the final hour of Saturday's WM Sport is on the iPlayer. It almost certainly will have been Andrew Dawkins covering Walsall v Doncaster Rovers in League One.
Just to confirm Leeds v Wolves was live on all WM platforms other than online from 12.45pm, with West Ham v Aston Villa their FM commentary from 3pm and West Brom v Liverpool commentary going out on DAB.
It will be interesting to see how much we hear of Adam Bridge on BBC WM this season, considering WM were able to call upon him ahead of Gold yesterday. Adam also regularly commentates off-tube in London for the Perform Group and is set to join talkSPORT Live's Premier League world feed radio team, where he'll be joining long-time WM Sport presenter and commentator Dan Wheeler. It'll be interesting to see if Dan continues to turn up on WM and/or BBC Hereford & Worcester too.
