| Always been a gripe of mine that GMR/Manchester cover Warrington games when they are not in Greater Manchester.
They wouldn't say cover a Liverpool football game would they.
Think the whole structure of RL coverage is flawed and suffers from the same trouble as SKY and the Beeb in that they have the same old presenters and show format. Anyone who used to hear fitzy from time to time helping with commentary will surely agree if there is ever a ready made young radio/TV presenter then he is the one and would be a breath of fresh air.

| I have just registered a couple of complaints with the BBC on this. This is typical of what I wrote...
Why on Friday night was the Salford superleague match not covered? Why does GMR cover a Merseyside game in preference? Why do local residents in Salford have to put up with this poor scheduling. Maybe Salford should have its own radio station if GMR prefer to cater for scousers.

| I think the main point here is, it is simply not good enough to have the odd "lets get an update from..."
Rugby League coverage is diabolical compared to Football within Greater Manchester.

but he was talking to himself as the BBC were not broadcasting it, they just did bits from the ground and no interviews.
Be interesting to see what happens on the 8th July we are at Hull and Warrigton are at home to Huddersfield which is also on Sky.

| I get the impression that Salford are seen as an inconvenience and they'd much prefer to cover the likes of Wigan and Warrington. Whenever I turn on the radio for the rugby programme, I'm wondering which one of Tony Smith or Michael Maguire will be being interviewed, or which Wigan or Warrington player they'll be speaking to...

| There's a deal of bitterness here methinks. I agree that GMR's philosophy of covering the better supported 'local' teams is somewhat misguided, but don't we regularly state on here that we are a city in our own right and categorically point out that we ARE NOT from Manchester ? As such, do we have the right to complain when GMR cover the 'big' game of the night only 20 miles away and we are in Wales ?
Just a thought.

| Bollocks to all your comments...why wern't they at the Willows giving match commentry of the only unbeaten League side.Beats me that one.!!! but all your comments are correct as Jim Jafrezi's has stated, as of course whilst Salford is a city it is of course in the greater Manchester Conurbation so sadly it gives them a wide berth.

correct.
like it or not, the coverage of GMR includes Warrington and pretty much all of Cheshire before you get to Staffs and Shropshire.
on the subject, the BBC have been considering pulling much of the funding from local radio. what we get now is pretty good i think and could be much much less...

| The BBC should give the coverage to the team playing away or not on tv. we get better coverage than clubs in the championship. Lookat Leigh yesterday, they are in France, Wigan on TV but the coverage was Wigan, unless the games wereon at different times.
