<br>
Bay Radio kicks off Poole Town coverage in unique tie-up with BBC<br>
<br>
Two of the most important matches in Poole Town football club’s<br>
history will be broadcast live on local community radio station The<br>
Bay 102.8 thanks to a unique tie-up with BBC Radio Solent.<br>
<br>
Fans will be able to hear Radio Solent’s live commentary together with<br>
live match analysis by reporters from The Bay 102.8 of both the FA<br>
Vase Semi-final against Whitley Bay at Tatnam Park, Poole on March 26<br>
and the second-leg game at Whitley Bay on April 2.<br>
<br>
“If Poole Town wins the two matches on aggregate we will be playing in<br>
the finals at Wembley,” said Poole Town’s Commercial Director Mark<br>
Bumford. “These are the biggest matches in the recent history of the<br>
club.<br>
<br>
“We’ve had great support from Bay 102.8 for the last two seasons and<br>
it’s absolutely fantastic that they are providing live commentary on<br>
these important games with the co-operation of BBC Radio Solent.”<br>
<br>
Alan Coote, Managing Director of The Bay 102.8, said: “We are very<br>
excited about this tie-up. The commentary will be provided by a unique<br>
collaboration between The Bay 102.8 and BBC Radio Solent. The Bay<br>
102.8 team at the ground will provide additional analysis on the<br>
matches.<br>
<br>
“It’s almost unheard of for an independent station to work with the<br>
BBC and use their fantastic resources,” added Mr Coote. “Our audience<br>
will hear the BBC’s excellent live commentary on the games while our<br>
team will provide pre-match, half-time and post-match analysis. We are<br>
really pleased to be working with the BBC.”<br>
<br>
The upcoming games may remind many older fans of the days when Poole<br>
Town, established in 1880, not only reached the third round of the FA<br>
Cup but staged memorable clashes against Manchester United, Watford,<br>
Newport County and Queens Park Rangers.<br>
<br>
“We have two big weekends ahead of us and tip-top live radio coverage<br>
of both thanks to Bay 102.8 and BBC Radio Solent,” said Mr Bumford.<br>
<br>
