Ed, the fact that Mr Starnes hasn't returned any phone calls speaks volumes.
Just shows what this board are like.

Great to hear the club have as much time for the broadcasters as the fans. Cheers for the update Ed, hope it all works out for you guys.

Dear Mr Starnes If you happen to be scanning this forum, I'd like to draw your attention to STFC's Customer Charter, specifically: STFC will respond to any contact from a customer by telephone, letter, e-mail or fax within 10 days Not a particularly challenging target, I'm sure you'll agree. However, the clock is ticking Sir  |

I see Maverick's back on thisis, interestingly he sees "little point" in contacting the club about this. That's the fighting spirit we're after. |

contrast Ed's reply with Craig Rance of Brunel FM's response to my email:
"James
BrunelFM will hold exclusive rights to broadcasting live commentary of
STFC games next season.
You will still be able to listen to coverage online as before.
Craig"
Great, that clears it all up then!

PS I'm not all that bothered as I'm a scummer, and encouraged us to do this just to spite you all as I'm bitter about the conference play-offs"

well if bbc swindon are allowed to do goal alerts then that'll be okay i suppose - we'll get to hear the good bits and not have to listen to the boring bits in between.

This is the e-mail i recieved from michael wills. Im guessing all others who sent him one got the same/
22 May 2007
Dear Mr Abbott
Thank you for your recent email letting me know of your concerns about the decision of Swindon Town Football Club to give exclusive rights to Brunel Radio. I share your concerns.
I am enclosing a copy of a letter I have sent to the Chief Executive of the Club.
I hope you find this helpful.
Yours sincerely
Michael Wills
MP for North Swindon

Dear Martyn Starnes
Re STFC Media Rights
I have been contacted by fans of Swindon Town who are concerned that the deal for exclusive media rights with Brunel Radio will deprive fans who do not live in Swindon of the opportunity to listen to match commentaries.
As a keen supporter of Swindon Town myself I am concerned to ensure that fans from outside Swindon who do not have access to broadband facilities retain the opportunity to keep in touch with the club, and I am surprised that the club feels it can afford to alienate these supporters. I am also concerned that fans believe this deal constitutes anti competitive behaviour, as I understand the BBC were not invited to tender for the rights.
I should be grateful for your response to supporters’ concerns, and if you could reconsider this decision in the light of their concerns, and for anything you can do to ensure as many fans as possible are able to listen to match commentaries.
Yours sincerely
Michael Wills
MP for North Swindon
