HOW OFTEN DOES SPORTSWORLD HAVE YOUR SAY LEAVE THE STUDIO ?

We take the programme out to many of the big sporting events around the world. In 2010 we have been to the FA Cup final at Wembley, the Champions League final in Madrid, the Cup of Nations in Angola the World Cup finals in South Africa and the Commonweath Games in Delhi.

WHY ARE THE PHONE LINES SO BAD?

Well we'd like to think they aren't most of the time, but we do sometimes have problems especially when speaking to those of you in Africa. Sometimes we have to abandon a call because of the quality of the line.

ARE YOU RELATED TO OTHER HAVE YOUR SAY PROGRAMMES?

Yes we are. The BBC wants to provide a number of platforms for what it calls 'the global conversation'. Part of this is Sportsworld Have Your Say. There is also the Have Your Say section of bbcnews.com and Africa Have Your Say.

The sporting conversation goes global in Sportsworld Have Your Say on Saturday from 1730 GMT and on Sunday from 1800 GMT on the BBC World Service.
