Hence this discussion really!

With the fanbase and the economic climate I think any expectation of this kind of service making a profit ("putting money into the club") would be pretty unrealistic.

I think most of us would agree Dan, today's economic climate and attitudes towards the leadership in some quarters will undoubtedly minimise the impact of any scheme like this getting off the ground, setting it up and maintaining it without initial financing would be the first of many hurdles no doubt.

Taking this site out of the equation, do you have any idea of how many people actually listened in earlier in the season when we had coverage, do you have any way of knowing how many people outside of the UK got coverage when it was accessible from the fishy site. Also, if its safe to assume that the audience on accyweb and sites such as face book are minimal, is there any other way you have of getting a more realistic response from supporters universally.
