Why are the media failing to do their job?

Wed Jan 27, 2010 1:44 pm

What has happened to the early bird season ticket monies? Why have so many promises been broken? Why has our team manager and playing staff been lied to? Why have we still failed to pay the tax Bill? Why have we still not strengthened the team? What has happened to Ben Steele?

Surely there is a four page spread there for the Echo or a documentary for BBC...Where are the local radio stations?

Why are they letting us down...they were quick enough to report what Peter Ridsdale told them so why no follow up stories?

Are they scared of him ?

Everytime someone reports something bad - He threatens to sue them and they retract there story or apologise

Unless he has got them in there back point, with our money

Yeah I agree.

And the commentators last night (the BBC ones) trying to make the fans with banners look bad etc.

It just seems like they are all scared of Ridsdale.

It's pathetic really since things really are bad at the moment, and the media are barely saying anything about it.

Couldn't agree more, Paul.

Instead of printing whatever bulls**t Ridsdale tells them to, they should be voicing the fans' concerns and digging into what is really going on. Maybe if we were a proper football city, it would happen. I'm darn sure the press in other cities would be giving the chairman a rougher ride than ours is.

maybe there's backhanders being given to the press ?

All we want is a bit of honesty. Isn't that why free press was made? To extract the truth? Or has journalism forgotten where it came from?

Well Said Corky.

Last night they took loads of photos of Our Banners but were then told not to print them in the Echo. :evil:

Why didn't the Echo report the truth on the Blues contract, ie how bad a deal it was for them?

Face facts - local media incompetent - Minardi anyone?, national media couldn't give a rat's arse.

We'll soon see how many of ordinary people are scared of him if the lying c**t puts us into administration.....Ran outta town will be an understatement.......... :violent1:

The media man to contact would be this Risoli guy at TNOW (he's the man who has written several articles about our chairmans personal tax issues as well as his involvement in our clubs tax issues.). I bet if he knew in advance ;) there were going to be banners and demos calling for Ridsdales head prior to Saturdays or any othergame he would be there with a cameraman in tow. You could bet your bottom dollar it would be headline news in TNOW on Sunday morning. :lol: :ayatollah:
Once TNOW have put it in print the other hacks will follow suit :lol:

I think you'll find he's banned from CC stadium and so are the NOTW until legal action is sorted over these e mails. allegedly.

Lazy journalists (fair comment!). Lads, remember we're talking about people who are happy to lift lines from a publicly run football forum and classify it as a story worthy of print in a national newspaper.

They are probably waiting until February 1st like the rest of us. If the promises made at the beginning of the month do not come to fruition then there can be nothing to stop them asking the appropriate questions.
