Quote: TrevLovesJanice "Post match yesterday I was sickened by Gollum Lloyd wittering on about rovers and playing pre-recorded interviews with them in an effort to get as much about them on air as he can. They are now a second tier team so don't deserve the priority coverage - it's like giving City less coverage than Grimsby !!

Well, this season I have had enough; after all it is US who pay for this station.

The BBC has a very good complaints website at rlhttps://www.bbc.co.uk/complaints/complain-online/rl

There are a few easy questions, but I sent the complaint below. Hopefully a few others might do something similar and let Gollum know we won't stand for his tripe any more ?

The Radio Humberside sports team are led by a presenter called Gwilym Lloyd who is a supporter of the lesser of the two rugby teams in the city.
This team gets more than 50% of the match day coverage, not through splitting match-day commentary but by more subtle means, such as longer post-match discussions and interviews and presentation of a number of pre-recorded articles about this lesser club.

Using soccer as an example, it is as if Leyton Orient got more coverage in London than Arsenal !

There are a number of soccer teams in the area, but the priority is (quite rightly) given to Hull City as the premier team. However because of the bias of Gwilym Lloyd when putting together the rugby coverage, hull kingston rovers (the lesser team) get more coverage than Hull FC (the senior and higher team, with twice as many fans).

The proof is there - all you have to do is listen to the show broadcast on Sunday afternoon and count the minutes devoted to each team. I calculated it at 61% coverage of the lesser team.

As a public service, funded by the licence payer, I would expect local radio to be accountable and represent the size and status of each club rather than just talking about Gwilym Lloyd's favourites.

Could you please investigate this issue for me ?

Thanks
'"


Is this your half term project? Do you really expect any organisation to take such an infantile correspondence seriously!?

Waste of time and (very little) effort...

Do you remember the days of David Doyle Davidson he made Gwylim seem like Switzerland icon_biggrin.gif

I couldn't even get on the phone-in - they were too busy reading out text messages from rovers fans. On and on and on they went.

And what is this "supposed" 50:50 ? The senior club should get more coverage - like Rhinos do on Radio Leeds - they don't bother talking about Hunslet much.

It's also nice that they have permission to comment on our fans board too, as I am all for free speech. Sad that their own little board operates in a closed world, away from reality.

I know nothing will change and rovers will continue to benefit from the favouritism of the channel. Look at how many times the club has fallen out with them. Look at the Cooke saga, look at "Peter Sharp is toast" saga.
As a publicly funded operator they need to improve.

There was a point yesterday when the Hull game was on both frequencies and funny enough I didn't feel the need to complain to the BBC you really need to get a life as your coming across very bitter especially with your digs at our club we know we're in the division below so you can put your sock away

weather its one sided or the other I don't know one things for certain its about time Lloyd retired and give a younger more experienced commentator a chance who has actually played the modern game there's plenty of ex players some who have played for both clubs out there because weather your a rover fan or a black and white his commentary and dribble he spouts is wofull and is a real turn off FFS join Steveo in the past the games moved on

As long as I hear the FC match commentary I don't really care about the rest of it. I just turn in on in time for the game and turn it off at the end. Simple.

each to their own, it's a message board after all.

However it's a bit rich that rovers fans think i give a flying whatsit about their opinions, or want to read them. They should be back on their own board I think.

If my complaint makes Lloyd sit that little bit less easily then my point has got through.

[note the pathetic Gateshead comment from one of the inbreds]

The OP's missive will likely be ignored as it comes across as a bit immature and subjective.

I would say though that there is a lack of ex Hull FC players used as match summarisers. It can't be too hard to find one to use for our games rather than Nick Pinkney or Chris Charles. Even when they've used one in tha past it's tended to be someone who also played for Rovers like Paul Parker or Lee Richrdson.
