Well done to both sides for responding to the needs of Reading Football Club fans right across Berkshire (and beyond) and well done too to the members of HNA? (particularly "Andyhalls" and "thefruits" for the petition) STAR and the Evening Post for highlighting the depth of feeling on the issue.
A victory for common sense and time for giving ourselves some hearty back-slapping.

Well done for backing down JM!

Reading FC chairman John Madejski commented, "I am very pleased that we have finally been able to reach an agreement that will allow BBC Radio Berkshire to continue providing live commentary next season.
"They have been strong supporters of the Club for a number of years............' ......and I'd like to thank the thousands of supporters who reminded me of that.
Actually he didn't say that last part at all. As it turns out, this whole storm in a tea cup was just part of the negotiating tactics!

I also heard them. Not suprised to hear that they are pleased with themselves, quite rightly so! Think hobnob, the evening post and STAR deserve a pat on the back too.
Funny now to hear they are calling themselves "BBC Radio Berkshire, where the fans have their say"
Well done everyone.

Well Done To Radio Berks And The Fans
01 Aug 2006 10:30Well done to Andrew Hall for starting the petition and to "the fruits " for getting it on Hob Nob and to every one who signed the petition, wrote to the Club, the Post etc. Despite JM's quote on Radio Berks this morning, which I haven't heard yet, that it was a not the fan's backlash but his negotiating position that brought about the change we all know the truth. Yet again his comments sound rather arrogant and only belittle him. Without the fans John there wouldn't be a Reading FC. In a season or three when we are are probably back on the Championship, ( this is not pessimism, it is hard to go up for the first time and stay up for a long time), you will need the true fans again and a radio station that is genuinely interested and not just chasing the glory.

It could have been a defeat all round, Tim and Joel on the dole, Fans without coverage, RFC receiving less cash and Tredder with nobody to text.Huntley & Palmer wrote:As mentioned by me earlier in the thread, it was obvious this was a bargaining tool to get BBCRB to pay more money. Mr Madejski is a very astute business man, I can't see how this is a victory for anyone other than him
