BBC not mentioning the albion much?

[AmexRuislip]

Again I tired of the BBC not mentioning Brighton as much as the other sides in the Championship.
Apart from last nights FLC we never get a look in.
Even todays BBC Championship page, we are not exactly front page!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I listened to Alan Brazil on Talk Sport the other morning. They were discussing whether or not Blackburn could overhaul the 7 goal deficit if Reading lost. There was no mention of an other team being in the mix; no wonder Reading fans thought they'd clinched 6th and invaded the pitch.

But they had planned the spontaneous pitch invasion in advance, no point wasting all that hard work.

Saw a pretty good roundup of us on FLS yesterday, even another albion-hating sentiment from adkins

 

[carteater]

its okay we'll have our full highlights every week on match of the day next season

I think it's good to go under the radar. Unnoticed, other teams not taking us as serious. Gives our players more fight in them.

 

[Blues Rock DJ]

to be fair, wifey told me a pundit on 5 Live this morning tips us to win the final.

 

[Goldstone Rapper]

Weren't we included in the national news yesterday evening?

 

[chaileyjem]

FLS did a good job in the end i thought http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b043b4l7 (first 20 mins of the prog)
And Johnny Cantor and Radio Sussex overall was as excellent as ever with plenty of post match interviews/fan commentary etc. even if I seem to be the only person who rates Warren Aspinall on here.
This live text/commentary yesterday just on the Champ/ League games was running yesterday lunchtime >> "Pandemonium for Brighton" http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/27260388
and there's plenty of coverage of yesterday here via http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/teams/brighton-and-hove-albion

Albion were a good story yesterday mostly cos of the last minute drama and there's plenty of coverage if you know where to look (national press, online, Sky, BBC) but ultimately it was securing 6th in the play offs so obviously Birmingham's last minute survival pipped it and overall its a play off space not promotion. But hey wait until the semi finals or if we get to Wembley.
You won't be able to move for Oscar profiles , Seagulls this and Seagulls that if that comes to pass.

 

[chaileyjem]

and as this thread points out http://www.northstandchat.com/showt...-have-just-featured-on-the-main-BBC-10PM-News! - there was a brief mention of the Albion on the national BBC 10pm news last night.
(NB: I work for the BBC which explains this rather over loyal (and quite dull) defence of what they're up to even though i don't work for the sport bit)

 

[seagully]

Sod em. We know how we did, we felt the sheer joy as that 92nd minute header went in. We know how well Oscar has done this season with the injury problems etc. I don't need some gormless ex-footballer to validate those sentiments on a cobbled together highlights show.

 

[Goldstone Rapper]

I don't really see the problem here. What's happening to Brighton & Hove Albion may be important to all of us here. But a club securing 6th spot in a second tier league hardly merits wall to wall coverage on the BBC.

a cobbled together highlights show.

Filming, editing and telling the stories of 30 or so football matches in the space of a couple of hours, doing post match interviews, finding guests that can talk knowledgeably about up to 72 clubs, articulate that in brief live TV interviews, all of whom have fans who think they're being ignored, left out or misunderstood is probably not always successful but a unfair to say "cobbled together". in the sense of a pair of old boots .
Yesterdays 20 minutes weaving between Madejski and City Ground was a great piece of storytelling, well edited and smartly done. They captured the Ulloa goal really well (pooled footage with Sky of course) with the fans in the away end, Kaz playing about, Oscar dancing etc. But they had about half a dozen other big stories to tell and footage from 30 or so matches with only an hour or so air time. Tough job to edit that and make the right call.

Fair point, cobbled together was probably the wrong choice of words in the heat of the moment.

The production of the show is always decent, it's more the pundits I have a problem with. I haven't even watched the FL show from last night yet, saving that for later over a beer or two!
