    As ye might have seen, in the Random/General Chat Thread, I have been looking for people to vote for Waterford as the host to the Last Word with Matt Cooper (It's a political & current affairs show) on the Today FM website.

    We are up against Wexford and Kilkenny for the hosting gig. It will basically be free advertising from a national platform for a whole week worth of shows, why wouldn't we want that! Problem is, after we took an early lead, Wexford have blown us out of the water and now the Cats have overtaken us! We need votes! Get voting and don't forget you are allowed to vote once a day!

    Here is the link.

    The widespread sales of Wexford strawberries has obviously been highly influential! :D

    I'm not sure how yet but this must have something to do with Mick Wallace! *Boo! Hiss!* Lol :p

    I should say also, to share it on Facebook and Twitter and all that! Waterford Chamber has just tweeted it! This could be the greatest comeback since Lazarus! :D

    I'm afraid to say we're fighting an uphill battle, the yellowbellies have too much of a lead methinks :o

    Something odd about the votes. Wexfords leads is very suspicious tbh.

    Between this and those 9/11 conspiracy theories I really don't know what to think anymore...

    I recieved an email yesterday from the Inchydoney Island Hotel (I'd stayed there last year), asking for me to vote for West Cork on the TodayFM Big Holiday. Maybe several businesses in Wexford have done similar?

    Waterford people are just not voting. This was shared on a load of popular Waterford websites, Facebook pages, Twitter etc yet only a few hundred votes.

    Also, you can vote multiple times from the same computer.

    How, in a matter of hours, do Kilkenny significantly jump the lead?

    Yeah it's a bit mad. Although, I haven't seen any Waterford businesses or any people on my Facebook pushing it so maybe people just don't know about it.

    Looks like we're a solid 1,000 behind Wexford. It's been that way for a couple of days now.

    That time of the year again lads, ha ha!

    This year Tony Fenton's show has Waterford as an option. If you're a fan of T-Bone, or TodayFM or even just Waterford getting free good publicity then give an aul vote here.

    voted for T Fenton + Waterford. Chap needs some good Waterford humour as he is battling cancer again. Plays decent music too in fairness to him

    I'm not sure actually, I thought I heard them say it was a Thursday, so maybe this Thursday or next? I'm totally open to correction on that though! :o

    Edit: Thursday 30th May (Midnight) is the closing date!
