Bt Sport have just phoned me and asked for footage of Hyde's goals in high quality to show tomorrow night during the live game. The BT guy is the top man for their Conference footage and said he wants to come down to Welling and show a game, i stopped him and said we are very disappointed (as fans) that despite winning the league and being in the top 8 earlier in the season and playing some good stuff that weve been ignored and some smaller clubs have been shown more than once and some clubs 3 or 4 times. He said he takes those views on board and will discuss it and he hopes to build a relationship with the club. I also said i sent Healy's goal at Grimsby and it wasnt shown. He said he saw the goal and it was a great goal and apologised it wasnt shown but he was unaware it was sent to them.
He also said if we have any clips or stories then send to him and he would get them aired on their Conference coverage.
Superb BTSport have just comeback and asked for Joe Healys goal at Grimsby to show tomorrow night as well as they feel it deserves airing and recognition.

This is an outrage. Basically, BT has handed an economic advantage to most of our competitors in the transfer window, the loan window and in publicity terms by showing their games before we have even been considered. Some of them have even had two televised encounters - usually former League clubs which enjoy an advantage without such exposure. Maybe there should be a complaint not only to BT but also to the Conference - what other business concern would put up with its competitors being given such an unfair advantage?
Someone told me that they are going to film an episode of Countryfile at the Dartford stadium looking at how to farm cattle and what a farmer's field looks like!!
