They should give out radio coverage priority based on home attendances

I'm overseas anyway so the only way I can get it is online.
Unless your a taxi driver or have no access to internet I cant see what the problem is

My gran can't get to games anymore. Bought her a DAB radio so she could listen when we were taken off the standard airways (although DAB is arguably better!) but she doesn't have access to the internet and I'm sure a lot of older fans who listen on the radio are the same. Anyway, it's not a big thing just annoying.

We're non league, the others aren't and the egg-chasers are at Wembley so instead of being 3rd on the list, we're 4th. They will have also considered that anyone out of the area can get it online and anyone in the area can get it on BBC Lincs. From an editorial standpoint, it's a bit of a no-brainer really.

Bottom of the pile in terms of league standings yes but when it comes to listeners they've got this completely wrong and always have!

Fair enough Hull KR are at Wembley, Hull (football) have a lot more listeners than us but I'd love to see the listener stats for Scunthorpe games! I imagine it's dwarfed by ours. Another example of how the BBC fails to act as a commercial enterprise. A commercial radio station wouldn't make this choice.


A commercial radio station probably wouldn't even cover any of it but Hull City and maybe the rugby at Wembley. Who wants to listen to non-League football or even the 4th division?


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Also due to broadcasting restrictions aren't we the only ones allowed to be broadcast online.

The old codger puts it in a nutshell. It's totally fair enough I think.
