There is a wide range of matches on Setanta in March:
2nd March - Histon v Cambridge Utd
24th March - Histon v Stevenage Boro.
30th March - Woking v Cambridge Utd

Do Histon, or Cambridge have shares in Setanta?

This is more coverage than BBC Cambridshire do.
Are we not going to be on Setanta again this season and not have even one home game televised?
I think Setanta should be reminded of this

Histon have made a huge ammount of money in TV revenue this season. It will keep them up there for another season.

I have also sent an email to Setanta on the grounds that I have subscribed to them since they started showing conference football as I cannot get to many home matches as I live 220 miles from Alty. I complained about their unfair selections of what matches they show.

I'm in two minds about this. On the one hand, it's natural that some teams will get on more than others. This is the same in any league and I'd be the first to complain if West Brom had as many games televised as United on Sky. Also, we have had games scheduled for TV that have been postponed (Burton and Vics). Luton was a Cup Tie so that's a different situation, but it goes to prove Setanta are willing to put us on.

Having said that, whilst I'm willing to accept some teams being televised more than others, I don't expect other teams to be on as many as four or five teams before we've been on once. Furthermore, I don't agree with Histon being one of the clubs constantly shown. They have no following; they've never won anything; and they play in a (successful) horrible style to watch.

Come on Setanta, meet us halfway on this one.
