BBC Radio Manchester are a disgrace. I have complained several times too.

I am pleased that someone posted this topic.

We do ok out of Radio Manchester imo. Sadly we are not a big club so are never going to get wall to wall coverage.

As an outsider POV I think Rugby gets pretty good coverage on GMR. As for Salfords coverage maybe you guys have a point, that they tend to select the bigger clubs first. I listen to the Thursday and Sunday programmes and Salford usually are discussed. John always gets a good hearing on the phone in and the Thursday nights usually pick a personality from each club in rotation.

As for the Wire, some of you guys call us the scoucers, well we are fortunate to feature on Radio Merseysides Monday night Try time, and Thursday evening programme along with features on Saints, Wigan and Widnes. Since the Wires and I suppose Wigans form has improved we are getting more air time as the majority of the programmes had a Saints bias. Fortunately for Wire our local radio (Wire FM) also transmits full match coverage of all games and there is an internet radio channel with commentary. I suppose success brings more coverage

When you move into the new ground I think you will get more coverage from GMR.

As for Jack, he does get pretty excited when commentating on Salford and you score, maybe he is a closet Reds fan

but the BBC coverage isn't built around administrative boundaries. BBC Manchester covers a wider area.

Seriously, we might not be far away from much much less local radio coverage - lets try and be thankful for what we have and push for it to be retained!

Surely away fixtures for local clubs must take priority over home matches that are both televised and available to listen to on other radio stations? I wonder if BBC radio Manchester will change their stance when BBC Sport moves to Salford Quays. Perhaps the BBC will view Salford as a little less inferior when we move to the new stadium?
