The commentary is back and the blackout is officially over. Dealing with this club has been a long and draining process but your persistence forced them to finally listen. I am ready for a break now that the games will be back on the radio where they belong.

The BBC Radio Nottingham team (Robin Chipperfield, Colin Fray and John McGovern) provide a great match-day analysis for the thousands of fans who cannot make the game, for these people this has been the normal match-day experience for a number of years! In general NFFC fans are becoming increasingly frustrated with the media blackout at the club, however, the one thing that is dragging on and on without anything happening is the situation with BBC Radio Nottingham. BBC Radio Nottingham have mentioned many times - through twitter and on the radio - that they are eager to resolve the situation with NFFC and, with the season less than 3 weeks away, it is time that the club either resolve any problems with BBC Radio Nottingham or announce their alternative plans. It is the intention of this petition to reach at least 1,000 signatures to send a strong signal of our disapproval to the NFFC decision makers and ask them for some communication regarding the radio situation.

Reaching one hundred signatures feels like a small win in a long and exhausting struggle. I am tired of the silence from the club but seeing these names on the list keeps me pushing forward.

We hit the one thousand mark today. It has been exhausting to see this drag on for so long but your response shows I am not the only one frustrated by the silence. Now we have the weight behind us to demand some real answers from the club.

The wall of silence from the club remains frustrating and honestly exhausting to navigate as the season draws nearer. I am still pushing for a real answer instead of this waiting game because the fans deserve basic clarity about their match day experience.

Colin Fray is the voice of the city. Ridiculous that we cant hear him on match days. Sort it out forest.
