Petition for BBC Essex

See, I wasn't getting at anyone here, just trying to ensure that everyone was happy with the situation - it's called "diplomacy"!

what situation? napster decided to set up a petition which you can either sign or not sign... this isn't like we're trying to take out the death star!

The Trust had already posted what they intended to do on the "Rant" thread, then this petition popped up. To me it just seemed the "polite" thing to do. Maybe I'm old fashioned like that.
 
Whilst in the car yesterday I happened to come across BBC Essex and they had the Producer of the Saturday show talking about the new format. He basically said it cost upwards of a four figure fee at some away games last season and was a very expensive programme to run as it was. He also said that the new show fits into the BBCs guidelines that they want for this year...

It doesnt look promising :thumbdown:

I would imagine that Championship club's require a higher fee to allow commentary to be transmitted. This will not be an issue/excuse for either club this season.

Did the interviewer ask that question ?

The fee paid by BBC Essex to SUFC to broadcast all the Away Games for a season is less than 5 figures. Obviously that does not include travelling costs, wages etc for the commentary team, however they are already going to be at all away games this season as they provide the commentary for Blues World.

This decision just does not make sense !!!!

Perhaps they are on a large cut of the Blues World money ?
 
Being as everyone looks to be quite happy with this, I'll put a link up on 606 also - the more support we get the better I think.
