The 17 Bus and is no worse off as it rakes in something like 40k from BBCRB, which is 1000 shirts worth.

Whore Jackie Taken from todays' Guardian Digger column
Reading radio rights row
Reading's preparations for their debut Premiership season are being overshadowed by a row between their chairman John Madejski and the BBC over radio commentary on Royals games. Last week Madejski awarded exclusive rights for local radio commentary to Reading 107, a city-based station owned by Madejski Communications. The deal shut out BBC Radio Berkshire, formerly co-holder of the rights, which balked at Madejski's demand for £87,000, up from £33,000 last season. With the Madejski-owned station available only in the city, supporters protested that 500,000 people living in the wider region previously catered to by the BBC would be denied access. With the Reading supporters' trust offering the BBC £5,000 to bridge the gap Madejski, who recently accused other Premiership clubs of greed, has reluctantly offered to reopen negotiations.

Gav People's biggest complaint with them over the years is that they are afraid to 'take the club on', well here they have, on an issue that really matters to the people they represent... And they seem to be having a positive influence on the discussions.

Chucking supporters' cash at the club (I could understand if we were Gillingham) is not "taking the club on".

The 17 Bus I think STAR should take some credit, I also thing they should try to increase revenue to make STAR more powerful, the parking is a good example.
In the past the Supporters club made big donations to RFC, if STAR were able to do something similar, but in exchange for a small stake then perhaps we would get a better club.

Why? A success for the fans yes, for STAR no. Their involvement was no greater than yours, or many other people who acted on impulse and not on instruction. I'm pretty sure the same result would have come out if STAR was non existant. The power behind the posts on Team Sections sums up the feeling that the decision to give the rights to 107 had. The EP got on the case (nothing to do with STAR) and the petition was set up (nothing to do with STAR) and the emails were sent (nothing to do with STAR)
