brian noble to rescue hull please

Quote: Jake the Peg "It's a 2 way thing though isn't it. It's down to the club to work with the media. The fact rovers do it better than Hull is Hull's fault, not rovers. I'll bet that gollum wasn't a rovers fan until they started schmoosing him to improve their coverage.

The wail and blunderside are on the periphery at Hull as they can't control content in the way they could with KCFM and still can with the website and forums etc.'"

Absolutely, it is a 2 way street and I'm not saying the club have the moral highground in all this (although I don't think Gwilym has suddenly taken up an affiliation with Rovers).

As it stands though:
Radio Humberside have a RL editor who is a Rovers supporter and makes little attempt to mask that fact. The commentary team is Rovers biased (Nick Pinkney and Chris Park v Craig Murdock) Even if we leave Lee Richardson out as 50/50 (and I'm being generous), that's 3:1, with the boss being part of the 3. That's pretty poor IMO when FC have the bigger fanbase by some distance.

From FC's perspective, they still seem to be smarting from the Cooke affair and the Prodigy/Reardon kerfuffle. They need to get over it, particularly now KCFM is defunct. Not allowing the fans access to the coach's post match interview is not on. The control point you make is a good one, and FC try to control and spin the message too much IMO - but in their defence with the bias on RH this is a way to try and even things up.

There should be some middle ground here, and the rules of engagement should be re-established. RH needs to get it's tongue out of Rovers' ass and have a balance of RL pundits that reflects the balance of the fanbase. Lloyd needs to dial down his transparent Rovers bias. FC need to offer coach and a minimum of 1 player interview after each game and agree a fresh start. For many, as Rovers-biased as it is, RH is their main source of information on the club and these supporters are losing out.
