'Who would bet against Southend United & Colchester United both getting promoted?': BBC Essex Live

Last updated : 19 July 2011 By westfield shrimper

BBC Essex will once again provide live commentary of every Southend United and Colchester United match this season in the Football League, FA Cup and League Cup.

Commentary of the Shrimpers are on 95.3FM and 1530MW, while, if your bored one Saturday, the Farmers can be found on 103.5FM and 729MW .

Sadly for EEB and other exiled Shrimpers, the Beeb are unable to broadcast commentary online owing to contractual reasons, though it will appear on the Blues Player platform.

BBC Essex Managing Director Gerald Main told www.southendunited.co.uk: 'I don't want to wish away the summer but I can't wait for the football season. I think it could be a classic. Who would bet against Colchester or Southend or both getting promoted? We're also going to give a lot of coverage to Braintree Town this season, so i can't wait. You won't miss a thing with BBC Essex.'

Now stop it, Gerald's got a right to his opinion re the Farmers promotion chances.
