I believe quite a few clubs at step 3 and above ban the away club broadcasting games :(
Some ban filming too and instead sell their own highlights DVD.

That's very disappointing and from a fellow fan owned club.

What an idiotic decision! Why the hell would any of our fans decide not to go to possibly our biggest game of the season, because it's on the radio?! It's not even like it's that far away either! Looks like I'll be glued to Twitter then. FFS. :evil:

Their chairman seems to like reminding people he is in charge - http://forums.footballwebpages.co.uk/fo ... read=21230

Nicked from the Greensnet forum and spot on !!!

If you are not able to get to the match this Saturday v AFC Rushden and Diamonds don't worry you can get continuous live commentary on Radio Diamonds www.radiodiamonds.co.uk.Wherever you are in the world we will be with you.
We broadcast all Diamonds matches home and away. Cant promise to be unbiased but we do acknowledge good and fair play when appropriate.

Oh sorry....Your chairman has just refused us entry to the match, on the grounds that it will effect the gate.
I can assure him that any Diamonds fan who can get to the game will be there, minimum 300.The only people who are unable to get to the game are either working, on hols or housebound. In all the time we have broadcast I have never heard anyone say "I am not going to the game because I can listen on the internet"

Is he not satisfied that he will get one of his highest crowds of the season, regardless of our broadcasting and Diamonds fans will frequent the clubhouse on a large scale. (Just ask Bedford)

His decision goes against the spirit of Non League football being one big family. We are "Better Together".
Should the match be drawn be assured we will be broadcasting to you on Tuesday evening as our Chairman is a much more far sighted individual.


Very poor show Hendon, just shows a greedy out of touch mentality and does nothing to enhance the image of your club !!

Also we get half the gate receipts anyway, so how much money does he really think they'll miss out on?! £100 maybe? They must be strapped for cash, if so. :roll:

Funny enough I understand they might be struggling financially. Eddie Anderson, that guy who does the Fan Owned Club Blog, intimated as much when the draw was made hoping we would get through our two matches to play Hendon. He even suggested that we might agree to share the prize money irrespective of who might win the match! :shock:

That"s the two biggest FA Cup games that Adam has been stopped broadcasting by idiotic chairman.

I shall protest by not spending a single penny once I am in the ground.

Come on Brownie I've set it up for you now

I think its asking too much to expect our fans, Pigman especially, not to use the bar facilities but do you need to buy a programme or raffle ticket or a burger?
