Expats listened on TigersPlayer, as subscribers, but the commentary was a feed from RH - Swanny & Burnsey were co-commentators, until late last season. We couldn't listen to it directly through the BBC RH website.

Scunny RH broadcasts were available on the same (subscription) web-site supporting TigerPlayer - as were the majority of PL and FL clubs (Championship, L1 & L2) which did not have their own Radio/TV channels - e.g. Leeds United, Man Utd and several others. I seem to recall the names of John Tonda and George Kerr as the co-commentators, which means the audio source for them was BBC RH, linked through the parent subscriber web-site. This meant if you couldn't get Leeds United games, if the team they were playing were hooked into the parent service, you could pick up their commentary.
I'm talking about availability to ex-pats - so don't know if "local" punters could get it online - but I doubt it.
Yes I know that tc, I'm just responding to PLT who seems to think that there was a free RH internet commentary. There never has been.
You know the score Chazz...
on the other hand I really do know FA about the situation.
Now the FA are involved!
Looks like it's going through after all...
Wasn't a tea lady, golf pro, taxi driver or a bloke down the snooker club that told me, so yeah, probably bull.
Heard rumours it's Len Blavatnik buying the club. Worth a lot of money, Ukrainian-American. Possibly been on the cards for a while as there's a slight Slutsky connection there.
Yep... just made all that up... better than talking about the pissing radio coverage though.

Hope it isn't some Mickey Mouse organisation. Actually I hope it is...
The very thought makes me go all Dizzney
I remember when there was a plan to build an amusement park on the clifftops near Sewerby ( a terrible idea) and a local councillor said his big fear was it being a Mickey Mouse operation. Which is actually what you would want an amusement park to be.
Once it's done some time on twitter and facebook it will become a fact and then re-posted on here as a sure thing.
And then the papers get it and before you know it it's actually happening somehow... maybe I need a twitter account!
Well that Jarvis bloke had a pinned tweet about Blackbridge having been given a mandate to find a Premier League or Championship club for a US investor, he's now unpinned that tweet, but maybe that means talks are at a sensitive stage and he doesn't want to be broadcasting it any more.. are there any more straws we can clutch?
