LQ 0 Posted June 19, 2009 No, not you lot.I''m talking to the local media here after Radio Norfolk seemingly shunned this morning''s press conference in favour of a programme dedicated to Masonry Bees (I kid you not!)If we thought that national coverage of our Club was next to zero in the Championship, it will be less than zero in League One. This is the time when the local media can come into their own, not dismiss such items as the new boys coming in. We may have dropped a league but, unless anyone out there really is some kind of masochistic version of a glory hunter, there are still the same number of eager fans out here waiting to see, hear and read the news.So BBC, Anglia, Archant (ok, not so much Archant) get it together. Keep the yellow and green flag flying in locally at least. Don''t fob us off because we''re down. We''re still kicking and so should you be. We deserve that much!

Binky 0 Posted June 19, 2009 Just putting the other side of the coin:1. Nelson was hardly news - few City fans would have been unaware.2. Not all listeners care about football3. It was a pretty tedious press conference4. They did break into the programme pretty smartly to allow Chris Goram to confirm the news Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sideshow Tim 110 Posted June 19, 2009 Yesterday morning Radio Norfolk had a whole hour''s article on masturbation.

As my login causes problems [ :o) ] 0 Posted June 20, 2009 Sorry but the press conferences never used to get covered live and they aren''t for premiership clubs announcing signings so why would the listeners of Radio Norfolk want to hear what was almost certainly mundane and predictable?As long as it was covered on the next sports bulletin that is all that matters.Bees may not be your thing but I want varied radio output.
