Guest Bobo Dave Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 10th win on the trott, now Top of Div 2 having snuck up the table almost un-noticed, and where is the media coverage ??? BBC Website - 3 short sentences, nothing more BBC 606 - a few mentions Daily Star - note I don't normally read this paper, just one of the lads in the office happened to have a copy of it (honestly !!) - not a mention of BCFC or even the Plymouth game. Unless it was that small a missed it !!!! HTV Website - one brief paragraph. Haven't seen the EP as yet, or any of the other Nationals. But, doesn't this go to prove that we must get out of this poxy division this season or be ignored by the media 'cos Div 2 is obviously be full of news-less teams and not even worth wasting the print & paper on. ps - after every game I normally receive stacks of txts from friends who support Rovers, having a pop at City ("U were lucky / we was robbed" etc etc etc) not one last night !!!! But I sent plenty to them - ha ha ha ha ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dorset_Cider Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 We're in division two - what do you expect! The best for our team..... what do you expect? Spread the world get in touch with the papers sports editors, tv/radio and let them know about Bristol City............... It works for me! It's not alway how big you are that matters...... it's often how big people percieve you to be that counts Get to it good folk of the forum. COME ON YOU REDS!

Guest BBC Chris Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 10th win on the trott, now Top of Div 2 having snuck up the table almost un-noticed, and where is the media coverage ??? BBC Website - 3 short sentences, nothing more That's absolute rubbish - the Bristol Where I Live site has a rundown of HOW City got top of the league, a match report, and a huge graphic on the homepage saying 'We are top of the league' ...

Guest WillsbridgeRed Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 Bristol is a media backwater for sport - Look at the coverage Millwall and QPR get! I think everyone maoned about this last time we got promotion and obviously things havn't changed. As for the BBC - Well as far as they're concerned the Premiership is all the football played in this country, apart from cup games where they make patronising comments over 90 mins.

Tipps Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 I'm more than happy for us to get very little coverage, the less it is spread about, about our run, the less people will be out to get us. As long as we get the credit in May, I'll be happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red under the bed Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 The opening lines on "live on Sky Sports" last night at 10.00pm. Tonight we are talking about international football, but first we can not go ahead without talking about Bristol City. The presenter and Steve Claridge then discussed BCFC for a few minutes and past on congratulations for sticking with our manager after last years disapointment !

bobby Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 Have a look at the Guardian website - full report on Plymouth game, nothing separate on Bristol City, but a brief mention at end of Plymouth report saying we won and are now top! How's that for bias Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest eviltaxman Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 The back of the Evil Post at lunchtime had the heading "Perfect 10". I thought great, boobies!!!!.... then woke up and realised it was the City "headlines". Perfect 10 yes, but can we make it a perfect 25??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
England Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 I think we got reasonable coverage - bearing in mind that the papers are full of England playing today - just an unlucky coincidence for City to pick the "wrong" night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dorset_Cider Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 We had prety darn good coverage on Sky Sports last night, on Sky Sports news they had a reporter at our game (with almost instant updates) and once we went top we were actually in the football tonight headlines. I watched them at 10pm and 11pm just to savour the fact we'd made good news. Ooh and some silly sod was on Radio Bristol this morning at 7am.. who'd get up that early? ....... double ....... if only I were a girl Hmm, yeah that's really funny Tarquin. (Strange ....I didn't type the last bit, but it reads well and I thought it was funny so I'll leave it in ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
