Have just complained to the BBC

[rogp]

I'm not a natural complainer but I'm really hacked off by the BBC's Championship coverage. So I've just been on their website ( https://www.bbc.co.uk/complaints/forms/ ) to complain.

"I was delighted when the BBC won the rights to Football League matches after ITV's dire coverage. However, you have scheduled it at a very inconvenient time with (as far as I can see) no repeats. This is a sad contrast with your Premiership fixation, which takes a prime slots + a Sunday morning repeat. So I watch The Football League rarely, and mainly when my own club QPR is featured. So last night, seeing that Cardiff-QPR was a featured match, I stayed up late only to find that you gave the most limited of highlights - in fact no more that I can see at more convenient times on Sky Sports News. Instead you were pandering again to your (ex-)Premiership fixation by featuring Newcastle yet again. I will not be watching The Football League show again, and will be hoping that someone else wins the rights next time."

Would be good if others could do the same...

All the best, Roger

Get real. Generally, there are 36 matches to cover each week. To fit into an hour long show, that's less than two minutes each on average.

The only people concerned about watching QPR win in the valleys are us QPR fans. No-one else gives a ****.

I know loads of people interested in Newcastle, so whilst I agree that there is a fixation, there is a story there.

The slot the programme has reflects its popularity in the scheme of things. It is available on the red button for a twenty-four hour slot and can also be seen on the web. I'd imagine you can record it too.

The ONLY thinhs worth complaining about IMO is the host, the 'expert' summariser and the waste of time emails.

Infinetly better than ITVs coverage and much better than the tabloid that is Sky Sports.

Just my opinion of course...

Get real..? They advertise us as a featured game and then show Newcastle (again) instead..!

We would have been shown if Flavio was there and we had lost...

The BBC were looking for negative Flavio press and not the football

Must admit after seeing we were the featured game I too stayed up late to watch it rather than recording it and was highly disappointed.

Still better than ITV though IMHO
