Thanks for your message. The hospital radio service is a WSA led service and not ran by the Media Team (or the club). Mark is involved linking the WSA and the club to provide that service. Essentially although our commentary is used and we helped by conducting the bucket collection that paid in excess of the amount required for the telephone bill, it's not one of our functions. The Former Players Association did offer to make a donation to the media team and we must follow this up - at the time the offer was made we didn't know how to process it as the offer was made to write a cheque in our names which we didn't feel was appropriate. However the club can now process and hold money on the media team's behalf. |

It's existence and how it's paid for is the WSA's responsibility. As mentioned we help them with their bucket collection and all of the media team members get involved with that to show our support. We are still looking at different solutions of how this will work as we switch over to Calon as the technical set-up will be completely different. If the solution we want to go with works out after testing, it will benefit both the hospital broadcast and the WSA enormously. Personally, I believe the concept of providing commentary to the hospital is fantastic and has a rich history. Mark is very passionate about supporting it and I hope it continues for many years to come. |

There are unique circumstances in play at the moment as we are switching from PlayerHD, so Mark wasn't able to answer some of their questions without my input. Hopefully in the next month or so during the testing period with Calon, I'll be able to give Mark and the WSA concise answers rather than speculating on how the two broadcasts will coincide and what will be required to do so. The hospital radio service has been going out from the Racecourse since 1957 - during that time it's survived more hurdles than the club changing it's digital partners. |

Re: Next season's commentary and highlights
Thanks, Carl. I'm glad you've replied. I have asked a few questions or made comments on the Media Team's social media accounts, but I find that Red Passion generally works better for longer discussions. I think it would be very helpful for you to have a presence on RP going forward, even if you keep your existing platforms as your main way of keeping in touch.
As long as you're aware of the problem, I'm confident it will be sorted. I'm not sure how others feel, but I'd be happy to continue to give what I was paying to Wrexham Player to the Media Team. As an exile, I can't get to many games, and therefore don't spend anywhere near as much as season ticket holders and other regulars. The Media Team deserve to have a little bit of what I save towards their equipment and expenses. I hope you'd be pleasantly surprised by a response to a donate button. (Although I do think most people would prefer to make small monthly amounts, rather than a larger one-off payment.) Thanks again! |

Re: Next season's commentary and highlights
Hi Dave, No problem. It's the WSA's service, that's made quite clear I think. There is a full page on the club website all about it, it's clearly marked as so during the bucket collections and on air. Carroll hasn't mentioned any issues to us about not getting recognition.
