I extend that challenge to any of the board members. I'll set it up, take the financial hit and I'll tell you the truth, but I suspect there is not a set of nuts between you."
"Ben is very popular with the fans and we have all seen the strength of feeling from many who hoped he would return. We know the regular listeners will be delighted to hear him back again.

Ben Ashelford has been reappointed as lead commentator for Weymouth's Radio Terras after the supporters' association (WFCSA) took over match-day commentary arrangements. Ashelford was previously sacked for publicly criticising current and former board members and inviting them to debate him on a podcast, accusing them of abandoning their responsibilities. The WFCSA cited his popularity with fans and negotiated a paid role after Ashelford received offers from other clubs during his absence. The supporters' group emphasized listener enthusiasm and arranged terms that enabled his return as matchday commentator.
