Hospital Radio Colchester will be busy raising funds for their organisation at this weekend's game against Bolton Wanderers.

Following the weather causing the cancellation of their summer fundraising event in Castle Park, Hospital Radio have been working on other ways to raise valuable funds.

And they have got their hands on a signed ball, for which they will be selling raffle tickets before and after this weekend's friendly game.

The winner will then be revealed in the lead up to the Barnsley match, so stay tuned to CU-FC.com for more!

The Hospital Radio commentary team are all set for a new season under the leadership of Ronnie Smyth (pictured with U's Media Manager Matt Hudson).

Dave Buckingham, Godfrey Thomas and Ted Dwan continue to provide the service with Ronnie for each and every home U's match - something that Hospital Radio Colchester has been providing since the 1950s!

Hospital Radio Colchester broadcasts home games played by Colchester United live from Layer Road. Full commentaries have been relayed to local hospitals since 1953

Commentaries now originate from the box high on the roof of the main stand at Layer Road, just below the camera gantry; the position is unrivalled for the extent of the view

Join the commentary team on Channel One in the hospital for full match commentary for each home game for what is likely to be that last season from their current vantage point.

Hospital Radio Colchester has to raise all the funds ourselves to keep the radio station on air to the people in Colchester Hospitals.

That means raising at least £7,000 per year just to continue broadcasting. All members who broadcast are involved with fundraising.
