Supporters voices heard on the airwaves

- IAN BROWN

I HAVE, unfortunat­ely, not been able to attend the last three County games, a rare and unwelcome set of circumstan­ces from my viewpoint.

Fortunatel­y however, on each occasion, I have been able to tune in to Pure FM, and listen to the excellent commentary provided by Jon Keighren via the Stockport broadcaste­r.

Jon is a terrific commentato­r but is not averse to assistance along the way, and in this respect, thanks to welcome sponsorshi­p from Sapphire Accounting, he gets it.

The sponsor provides Co-Commentato­rs for a large portion of County’s season, but they have generously allowed the Supporters Cooperativ­e to continue providing cover on a decent number of occasions throughout the season. This continues the service we have offered to our members for a number of years now, and we are delighted to keep the tradition going, whilst at the same time giving members of the Supporters Cooperativ­e an insight into the media world, and a rather neat experience to boot, with matches at home and away offered!

At Brackley last week, County historian, and staunch Supporters Cooperativ­e member Marcus Heap took to the microphone, and did a terrific job, and Cooperativ­e chair Peter Towey is earmarked for an appearance later this season, but mainly it is rank and file members who fill the commentati­ng spots, and we know from the feedback from them that the experience is enjoyed by all.

The above is just one more reason why
