Simon Crabtree has been in touch today and asked us to pass on a message from himself and Lord Rowell, to all RTG users and readers who contacted Metro Radio about reinstating the full match commentary:

"A massive big thank you to everyone from the SMB who emailed, phoned, wrote letters, whatever. As ever, the sunderland fans stood up to be counted as one - and it worked! Thank you very much - Simon and Gary"
