P-bo have ditched local radio coverage in favour of a paid subscription service for online commentary provided by the club.
This would be boycott matches level of bullshit for me.

A football club has announced plans to charge for matchday online commentary.
Peterborough United said it had ended a contract with BBC Radio Cambridgeshire and would provide commentary though a new service.
One fan group said it would create a barrier between the club and fans. Passes on Posh+, the new subscription service, will cost £5 per game, with monthly subscriptions costing £6.50.
A BBC spokesperson said it remained committed to covering the club.
Darragh MacAnthony, chairman of Posh, tweeted the club was working on "solutions/compromises" that would be shared next week.
He said he understood the "outrage/disappointment".
A petition, with hundreds of signatures, has been set up to keep commentary with the BBC.
The Peterborough United Independent Supporters Association said in a statement it disagreed with the decision and did not believe any supporter groups had been consulted.
"The lack of free-to-air coverage so enjoyed by so many for decades will affect those who cannot attend for various reasons," said a spokesperson.
"This will put further barriers between the club and fans be that hardcore, casual, or potential."
The group said although other clubs might be going down this route, it "does not make it right".
On Twitter, some fans raised concerns that some fans would miss out, including older fans who rely on radio being left out and any fans who cannot afford the service.
