MERIDIAN TV COVERAGE UPDATE

[Guest]

Futher to my previous post on this subject in my registered guise as ANDREWC below is what Iain McBride has to say.

 

"Thank you very much for your e-mail to Meridian. The more pressure you

and anyone else can exert on the powers that be helps my cause.

I will endeavour, again (you won't believe how many battles I've fought

to try to get Conference coverage) to persuade those in charge that we should come to the games.

Every best wishes for continuing success this season. I think Andy Ford's

doing a great job and hopefully you will make the play offs for a place in

Division Three .... what a great story that will be. But is the ground up

to league standard or would you have to groundshare (with Gillingham ?)

Iain appears very genuine so come on guys let's keep the pressure up for more coverage on Meridian

Thanks for your support with this Super Daz but I don't think Nasty Nige reads the Fleet forum. But then again, you never know.

Here is the latest missive from Meridian re coverage

 

"As advised your previous e-mail was passed to Tony Baines who is head of sport, he has asked us to pass on the fact that he agrees with your comments and will endeavour to give more 'coverage of the Fleet' in future.

 

Don't hesitate to contact us if he doesn't keep his promise!

Further to your original comment, Andy, I have been pestering Meridian for a number of years to get more coverage - especially on teleletext page 470 (local sport). The usual reply was that because Gravesend is not really in the Meridian coverage area they did not qualify for any reports !!! A lame excuse really since last year they got lots of reports on how great C****y were!!

As Gravesend is also only on the edge of London (Carlton) coverage they don't get a mention there either.

Personally, I stick to the BBC. Ceefax page 490 always gives good reports and Radio Kent have done us proud as well .

 

PS Andy, I know it was more than 20 years ago that I started 'keeping, but like Mr Semen, I'm still trying to pretend I'm youthfull and still in the early stages of my footy career.

 

Good luck, speak soon

Not being pick Gary, but BBC is 390 rather than 490. !!

I had another email from Iain McBride at Meridian this morning. Looks like he has finally got agreement to include news of the Conference on the sports slot. He says all he needs now is a camera as well.

 

I also challenged him to wear a GNFC cap instead of the awful Dover Ath, bronx hat he wore last week. He's up for it. Angela, any chance of a donation?
