It's because information and interviews have been taken from Radio Wales, Radio Cambridgeshire, Radio Humberside etc.

 

For much documented reasons we don't get BBC radio coverage so no informatiom from our side is transferred over to the reports.

OR...ask to use some of our interviews..simples!!

We arent missing anything from BBC Radio Shyte of Medway but the coverage from the BBC is laughable. Why put up interviews and reports on a teams page when it is focuses on the opposition.

Its worth everybody filling in the complaint page above.


1 BBC Radio Kent and Londons problem of not covering us is not our problem where they want to place us but as licence payers our residents and supporters deserve equal coverage.
2 To not get any stories or interviews from a Welling perspective is a farce and makes their Welling United page a waste of space.
3 They should have sourced a club badge, google is their friend.
4 The BBC use ISDN at Park View Road, which was always one of their reasons for not covering us... That was proved to be a load of tosh as with ISDN now in, Radio Kent or Radio London havent been near the place on a match day.
5 We arent interested in the BBC internal politics, the situation is there for all to see, we get no coverage on BBC Local radio from our perspective and we get the same on a webpage thats supposed to be about us, not what the oppo manager wants to cry about.

Who needs Radio Kent when we have Radio Wings!!.............. I'll get my coat!

Radio coverage is one of the best free advertising tools to advertise our club, we are now in the conference & have earned the right to be covered, who by is down to the BBC although of course it has always traditionally been by Kent, I think BBC London will be down for non league day with no premier league, but I fill strongly that if this isn't sorted by Dartford at home then BBC Kent should be refused permission to cover the Kent derby

May I suggest WUSA actually propose this to the owners? We've been threatening it on here for a couple of years, but have continually given them access. In that time nothing has changed, nor will it unless the club actually make a stand.

Radio coverage is, of course, a huge benefit. But only when we're covered fairly and impartially rather than just because we're playing a big side or one of Matt Davison's beloved teams. 

As they say (whoever they are) no publicity is bad publicity. Ban Radio Kent and the ban will possibly get picked up by local/national news organisations like ITV, Sky etc

The simple fact is that as a whole organisation the BBC is neutral but at this level they have to rely on the local reporters to get interviews with managers. And because local news has to be biased towards the local side (who would tune into hear commentary and interviews geared towards the opposition) all the interviews will be with their managers and not Jamie. Barnet are suffering exactly same.

The only way we'll get any sort of coverage is if someone orders Radio Kent to cover us because BBC London definitely won't.

Does Meridian still cover us?  Incidentally, the coverage of our matches against Truro by BBC Cornwall was superb (and BBC Wiltshire when we played Salisbury was damn good too).  Let's make a plea for BBC Cornwall and Wiltshire to cover our matches, and put BBC Radio Kent to shame!  Also, BBC Kent should realise that a lot of Wings' supporters live deep in the administrative County - in my case East Kent - as opposed to the London-occupied bit.

The media as a whole seem to dislike Welling, no games on BT Sport, disregarded by the national press and looked down on by so called big clubs. People should remember this if a big game comes along BBC Radio Kent will be all over Welling but should be told where to go. Why no coverage on BBC London, we are in the London Borough of Bexley after all.

Radio Kent begrudgingly mentioned us today
