    I'd say you weren't far off the mark here. Finance was used as a convenient excuse.

    Radio Sheffield wanted the monopoly because we were popular and they didn't like it. BFC gladly took the money and didn't even thank us for our many years of good service. Lovely local radio station, lovely club = match made in heaven.

    Hope everyone unsubscribes until they see sense.

    You reap what you sow.

    Merry Christmas! :)

    From that chat/blog post:

    Ben explained that due to another year in League One the club had to make savings/cuts in all kinds of areas and it was felt that whilst it was a tough decision to get shut of Matt and Adam who had served the club well over a sustained period of time, it was a decision made in the best interests of the club. By the time the lads offered to do the job voluntarily it was too late as the deal with Radio Sheffield had already been approved. It's a similar link up that many other clubs across the country utilize. At no cost to BFC, and, much better quality in terms of technical specs. Something that fans have complained about in the past.

    My opinion - I think the savings are minimal at best, and it's an opportunity to have neutral commentators on board who are going to be less critical as they're not supporters of the club. Could be wrong, but that's how I see it. It sounds like it's going to be like listening to Radio Sheffield. In fact, that's exactly what it will sound like.
