Jerry St Clair Todays announcement about radio Berks being dropped for match commentray is just the latest in a string of decisions from RFC PLC which display utter contempt for the fans.
But are things really worse now than they used to be at Elm Park? Remember the delights of Annie Bassett and Mike Lewis?
So, are the current gruesome twosome of Howe and Butler any worse that previous ones, or are they just carrying on a long RFC tradition?

Huntley & Palmer I think you are seeing the best business plan being put in place to make the club a viable proposition. If you think about what has happened of late then it all makes perfect business sense :
Rise in ticket prices - Increase profit margins and income
Two new shirts - Increase profit in merchandising
Increase in hotel capacity - Investing in the second largest asset other than the stadium
Cut out the competition - Remove BBC Berks as a live broadcaster, keep the money flow internal with 107
Capacity increase - Make large noises about the potential of the stadium to reach a maximum of 40,000 rather than talking about a small increase based on our performances this season
Basically, the sales team are in full marketing mode for selling RFC

Couldn't agree more.
