Agree totally. It’s the same in all League coverage… top three or four clubs (in size) get all the coverage.

I understand they make better TV viewing for figures, but without the other 16-20 clubs in the division it doesn't exist. A need also to be careful that it doesn't follow the PL as well in that respect, once those bigger sides win promotion the rest will still be there for viewing.

Great article, I've always said Man utd could be bottom of league 2, and they would still top the sports news. Wrexham, Notts county & Chesterfield are no different in the National league, they all have massive budgets compared to everyone else, unfortunately for a very long time , there is no level playing field in all sports. Let's hope one team springs a surprise this season and gives us all a little bit of hope, that money doesn't always win.

At the same time Mark, would help us all if two of those three are promoted this season, still not a level playing field as you say but every little helps!

I agree Trevor, I think Wrexham and Notts county will be promoted, gives the mighty Barnet a chance next season.

It hardly seems fair. BT will have to Please their advertisers and draw in viewers, and no doubt that is why certain games will get coverage and others not.
