You will now need to have a digital radio to follow the Notts matches, Radio Nottingham will broadcast F*r*st commentary on both 103.8 and 95.5 FM and Notts matches on digital. This is because they can no longer broadcast on MW.

Seems a bit unfair on Notts fans who haven’t got a digital radio. Thoughts?

crazy decision considering there are many alternative ways of keeping up to date with the game.

why not have forest on 103.8 and notts on 95.5? people like to listen to the radio whilst watching the game, there are very few digital radios that are portable. stupid decision.

Stupied decision that simple ...! 

You can understand them dropping the MW frequency, why go to the length they have to favour just Nottingham Forest fans? It's not right and anyone with sense would boycott them until they worked out a fairer system.

As someone who tries to see football beyond rivalries, this isn't fair for Notts but it's worse for Mansfield fans. Why have they been given the short straw? Really there is alternative ways to make it work.

Why not broadcast via the internet like Absolute Radio does, at least this way people would have another choice.

 

It don't effect me as I never listen to the radio but I think the situation is harsh on both Notts and Mansfield fans,

It's a bit daft isn't it? Talk about cutting your noise off to spite your face.

To be fair Radio Nottingham can’t broadcast Mansfield commentary because I believe another radio station have the rights, Radio Red only give score updates on Mansfield.

I do feel sorry for elderly/disabled Notts fans who can’t get to matches anymore and are unlikely to have a digital radio.

Does anyone remember the “I’m boycotting Radio Nottingham” campaign? I’ve still got the car sticker somewhere, can’t remember the actual reason now but it was some kind of unfair/biased action against Notts and that’s probably when the nickname Radio Red started.

Most Notts fans wouldn't make a stand to boycott them.

When they see the response from fans, perhaps they will reconsider? It seems a bit of a bizarre decisions to broadcast Forest games on two frequencies when there's two teams. @super_ram what does Derby do for Burton and other clubs in your area?

No great suprise from Radio Red

Why can't Forest fans tune into one frequency? It seems stupid to give them both 103.8 and 95.5 FM.

I wouldn’t expect anything different from the BBC. 

Supposed to have a charter for being fair and unbiased. But it’s just another quango run by the corrupt for the corrupt. 

Someone will have had a back hander somewhere, but it’s ok because it probably means people will come to Notts if they can’t listen to it and stay away from florist because they may as well listen to it on the radio.

will be interesting to see the figures and if the ratings go down ban them from the Lane again.

It's a shambles I wonder if they know just how stupid this is for them to do it?

The argument put forward by chippers (Robin Chipperfield) on twitter is that it’s the only way both commentaries can be heard over the whole county. Florist fans in the north of the county wouldn’t be able to listen to their game. He reckons that 70% of people now have digital radios. So stuff the other 30% then.

This isn't an argument, it's a bloody excuse.

Buy better transmitters! Why do people buy a TV licence for a shoddy radio service.

I've got a dab radio is that the same as digital? I dont know.
