Does anyone know what the situation will be now we have been relegated?

I presume it will be deciding preference between FGR and us. Glos Rugby will continue to dominate I should image

Any know?

I'd imagine we would possibly share commentaries on normal FM radio with FGR with the other match being online, depending on who's away. Or, given there is undoubtedly a bigger fanbase for CTFC, it will stay the same as last season?

I would hope it will stay the same but given the rugby bias on the radio I would have concerns we may have reduced coverage until the later part of the season when we are hopefully in home straight for promotion.

I wouldn't, can't get AM on most new radio's or phone radio's these days. I was always surprised that the rugby wasn't on FM.

I suppose we'd all have individual opinions. Here in the FOD Radio Glos on FM is a waste of time but pretty good on AM hence id take that.

We have a fanbase at least 3x the size of Ecotricity Rovers. Radio Glos would get far more listeners covering us instead.

I can't imagine FGR will get coverage ahead of us however it's more the bloody egg chasers I am worried about.

What, the rugby club who are in the top flight of their sport in England and attract attendances at least 4 times ours? Of course Radio Glos will cover the rugby as a priority.....

Rugby is always on DAB; which most people got these days.

Yes Mal but they normally take FM as well with us on AM and FGR online as a general rule last season..... Im just interested how it will work. Will the BBC fund Conference football? Do they look at it differently to league?

I asked Mark Halliwell about it few weeks ago on Twitter.

They are awaiting fixtures to come out to see if Chelt / FGR will have home-away games most of the season.

Conference games are cleared for online, he assumed it to be available online, whatever station they end up being on.

Use the Tune In app for live matches. They issue a 'live event' number and you can search and find it on the app.
