What's with the lack of media coverage in the national press of the protests. 7000 people bringing parts of the city to a stand still yet nothing in the national media. Why? We're they not told or are they just not bothered?
Just worried this fantastic show of support will be lost without the right coverage. No good just being in the evening telegraph.
its been on ITV and BBC
Surprised Sky Sports News werent at it, they were all over the Blackburn one
I watched it on BBC Midlands Today via Freeview channel. Really proud! Made my heart swell! Massive thanks to every man, woman and child who turned out to represent folk like me who simply couldn't be there. "Thank You" one and all!
With all due respect BBC and ITV Midlands means nothing. Living in Essex I haven't heard a peep about this other than what I've seen on here. Nothing on their websites and certainly nothing on the news. Disappointing that such a great effort could be for nothing cos someone forgot to let the media know.
afterwards when in the car, i was listening to cwr for reaction, might have just been me but they just seemed interested in fecking cricket. cricket, the most boring sport ever
The only way you'll get what you want will be to play them at their own game. Starve them of money and they'll have to sell - simple maths - but it will take shrewd conviction from the fans. The protest was an amazing show of empathy from Coventry, but it's a drop in the ocean compared to what must be done to break this stubborn and corrupt organisation running the show. All they listen to is money, let's deafen them.
BEST sport ever. Clearly a typo on your part.
Yes they were made aware,both BBC and Central covered the story. I presume you are talking about Sky on this. Jan can probably tell you more but Sky were informed and Jan contacted them this morning and they said due to the numbers they expected they didn't bother as they felt it wasn't news worthy.
The Daily Mirror printed about the march and a picture of the two Godiva's on Saturday as promised by the reporter who wrote the original article a couple of weeks ago. The one before the Sun told us to shut up and accept our move. Make of that what you will...
I didn't see anything on BBC. Was this national BBC or just local? Mirror is ok though (although wouldn't read it if you paid me).
My feeling on this protest is that it was a success in terms of numbers but a failure in terms of coverage outside local media. I wonder if The guys at SISU in London even know it happened. No-one I work with is aware this went on. Shame really because a lot of people put a lot of effort in.
Hope it doesn't sound like I'm having a go at the trust. It's our countries media I'm disappointed in. Particularly with the dross football stories that have been served up this weekend. This could have a major impact on the future of football and they can't even be arsed to turn up.
