Wednesday fans react to commentary deal rejection
Sheffield Wednesday fans have been reacting to the news this morning there will be no free-to-air live commentary of their side's matches, after the club rejected a new BBC deal.


The Owls were the only one of 62 clubs whose deals were up for renewal not to reach an agreement, after being asked to take a 10% reduction in fees.


Fans have taken to social media reacting to the news, with some calling the move by Sheffield Wednesday "short sighted".


Others have praised the move, saying it could open the door for other clubs to offer exclusive match commentary on their in-house paid service.

Sheffield Wednesday said the offer made by the BBC was "significantly less" than in previous years.

It said: "This development was unprecedented and despite our best efforts to seek a renewal on the same terms, agreement could not be reached."

BBC Radio Sheffield said it wanted to continue to work with the club, providing the latest news about Sheffield Wednesday.

That Chansiri must be desperate fo cash.

Sadly it all seems to be falling apart in S6 (and that's not just the rusting stadium).

It seems that the owls feel that they are different to all the other clubs - maybe they just want more fans to subscribe to ifollow! If it was the been, I’d tell them to chuff off & not do any pre or post match interviews etc. The fans would really have something to moan about then - fan power might sort out the knowalls at the top.
Stuff them!
