Re: BBC Cardiff
16Just because they're not reporting on the game is no reason to forego the freebie tickets.
Always ask yourself how it feels from the other perspective. Imagine County were 3-0 up against ten man Nott's County and about to go top of league two. Twenty minutes from time the commentator says, "We're leaving this game now to take you to Bracknell where Merthyr are involved in a very tight game."Kairdiff Exile wrote:I listened to Radio Wales last night - and in fairness to City, their game was entertaining, and there were semi-regular updates from our match at the Broadfield Stadium.

I see your point - but I think I'd be fine with that! They're meant to be the radio station for the whole of Wales, so there's a geographical imperative to spread the coverage, plus from a neutral's point of view I'd rather hear commentary on a tight game than a walkover.Stan A.

In fairness the sooner Newport declares itself a city state the better. Neither England nor Wales really want us.Kairdiff Exile wrote:I see your point - but I think I'd be fine with that!

It does matter when supporters like me want to hear live commentary of our matches. I'm not saying in general we should get the same attention as Swansea and Cardiff, but commentary of the game isn't asking much is it. Last night at half time they didn't even give a summary of how the half progressed. It's wrong on any level.david_g_barron wrote:Does it really matter that we are not getting the attention from BBC Wales. It was unsurprising that we didn't get the attention last night as Cardiff City v Leeds United was a top of the table match in The Championship.
Sometimes it is better to fly under the radar and allow Newport County to get their own momentum rather than worry about local media attention. If County keep going around the top of League Two then it won't be just local media attention that would get County noticed.
