One BCFC Posted September 20, 2014 Report Share Posted September 20, 2014 The more they praise the likes of MK, Swindon, Chesterfield and Peterborough the better, takes the pressure off. Anyway the smaller clubs always get OTT praise whenever they have a good run on that show Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WTFiGO!?! Posted September 20, 2014 Report Share Posted September 20, 2014 It's a shit show from a channel that is typical of the gulf between the Premiershit and the rest. Bollox to them, though. Russell Slade and Port Vale are the talking points, they're now on to 'Clem' doing a piece on Cambridge United and Luton. Let's not be bitter. The show is about a shit league, that we currently happen to be in. All our highlights come online nowadays anyway, sooner or later. We're not the 'Real Madrid' of our league, we deal in the realms of reality and have ambition to better ourselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't understand comments like this... we've been a part of this League for many many years. We've never been in the Prem and were only in it's equivalent, Div 1, for a few years. The Championship and Leagues 1 and 2 are full of traditional old football teams, that are the backbone of British football. If City were in the Prem...you'd get just as poor coverage...as it's the top teams in that league that get all the glory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron-Bcfc Posted September 21, 2014 Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 I don't get what your getting at? They showed one of our goals from midweek and we were the first game on the highlights. We can't have Leroy praising us on there every week ffs and there were better results yesterday from other teams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussie Posted September 21, 2014 Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 I think people are over sensitive on this. We were on first, were the only L1 team with a goal showed from midweek and they mentioned how we still top the league (I believe they only showed the top 5). Sheff Utd (a far bigger club than us) got 2/5ths of no mention at all. It's fine. I really don't have an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go to bed and watch the repeat at 9am this morning then... Plus there were only 6 games in the Prem yesterday in an hour show. I still don't understand your original point though....

Plus there were only 6 games in the Prem yesterday in an hour show. I still don't understand your original point though....I was pointing out, in an obviously overly cryptic way, that when we are in a higher league we receive a higher proportion of the TV coverage cake. Being top of league 1, unbeaten and having our best start in over 100 years isn't as attention worthy as Burnley drawing 0-0 with Sunderland is. Let's not be bitter as, unlike our deluded city neighbours, it isn't our style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the point is that teams that are more shit than us do get special treatment because of their Premiershite connections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downendcity Posted September 21, 2014 Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 In this division we are a nowhere team. We aren't a "sleeping giant", i.e. an ex prem team with an illustrious past. We don't have a celebrity manager, or a manager who was previously a well known player. Bristol is and always has been, a footballing backwater. We don't have ex top flight players in our team. We are not the plucky underdog team that has fought it's way from non-league to take on the big boys. As such we will never get the limelight coverage that others do. It was the same in the championship, other than briefly in our first season, when GJ was a minor football "celebrity, and we were somehow seen as the plucky underdog. At the moment perhaps it is better for us to keep under the radar ( if that's possible when we are top of the league) otherwise sod's law says we get a big feature on the FLS and then the wheels are guaranteed to come off!

Rich-TWSC- Posted September 21, 2014 Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 Covering 72 teams fairly cannot be easy. I believe they cover non-featured highlights in table position order so as long as you're top you might as well enjoy not having to wait until the very end like those poor souls supporting Oxford, Hartlepool and Carlisle have to at the moment. Staying up late to watch clips that (most of the time) have already circulated on YouTube seems like a pointless endeavor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bris Red Posted September 21, 2014 Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 Who really cares how much coverage we get, as somebody else said its a shite league and its probably best to keep our heads down and go about getting out of it as quickly as possible..

Bar BS3 Posted September 22, 2014 Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 Let's not forget that some clubs, not a million miles away, would absolutely love just a few seconds coverage on this show each week.

Tbh I'm surprised that Channel 5 or whatever don't have a Conference show covering the Conference and the North and South feeder leagues. The rights would be very cheap and there are some clubs down there that I'd be interested in watching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
