3 words: NOT A CHANCE!!!! I think about 2000 is about the top estimate of what we will get in the play offs.

With the right press coverage and advertising, 2,500 is fairly possible!

Thanks for your kind words. It was difficult to convey my anger at them in as professional a manner as possible.

We will of course be on air for the Oxford game at home, with the broadcast starting at about half five, and I'll once again be doing commentary with both Phil and Bruce. I imagine that BBC Radio Northampton will be covering us too, but I do try to make it as professional sounding as I can and (having helped Chris with the Mansfield game a few weeks ago) I genuinely think there's not much difference.

Anyway, whoever internet listeners choose, let's hope we can get a good result.

I'd like to congratulate you all at Radio Diamonds as well. I listened to some of the build up yesterday it it has improved no end this season, was quite informal and most enjoyable. Well done.

Pete, i've heard a rumour that a few of the Radio Diamonds staff are quitting at the end of the season, any truth in that?

Two presenters wasn't at the game yesterday, but other commitments mean that's not entirely unusual. There are, however, normally a few shake-ups in the close season - two people left last summer and I joined (and we've had a new presenter join a few weeks ago) so a change of line-up does happen now and again, and more often than not it's simply because people have changing priorities, as everyone does.

We are on air next season though, so whoever the line-up includes, we'll still be there.
