The last two weeks the "Central Coast Advocate" ran the back sports page on local rugby league. The last two Sundays 2GO in there news shows did not mentioned the A-League.
I sent and email off to both saying we are a national team doing well where's the respect.
Maybe if more of us did it it may have an impact.

Totally agree.
Good on you for sending off an email...a lot of people complain about the media coverage on the forum but do nothing about it. Without our feedback how are they to know?

Well Brett we know a certain local media outlet has someone who reads this forum. Probably doesn't anymore given the only material we give him for a story is how crap he is!

That doesn't make sense as the telegraph (which owns the advocate) is always running articles on the Mariners.
Maybe the tele wants everyone to buy their paper? Still seems a bit stupid to not promote the areas ONLY team in any top flight national comp

It's prolly due to the finals series being a bit more of an attention grabber than the first few games of the A league. The local papers from Townsville to Canterbury Bankstown have all got RL as their main stories. Give it two weeks and it'll all be over (except for "local boy done good @ RU World Cup" stories of course)

They are both owned by News Ltd but are quite separate from each other. |

Try get any football coverage in tassie. I feel sorry for u but if the fans from all the supporter groups starting sending emails to media outlets they may start to listen, at worst be p.... off and even that is something. We need to be heard, not forever just ignored by the media who most of the time plug the sports they own. |

Theres been a media coverage report done my a tasmanian man (Jon Price) thats on the www.footballfedtas.com.au (our official website) explaining how due to the rapid rise of player numbers in this state we should get more paper space. Stats like how theres is only 29 spaces made availabkle for local "soccer" (this includes both tassie and australia) as of november last year is shocking. Since this report has complied it has doubled it's colunm space but for both tasmanian leagues, the A-League and Socceroos matches this is still not enough. If it wasn't for one man Walter pless we would have no news at all. (walter pless is probably the kevernor of tassie if you wanted a comparison  ) |

Rugby League however, is a different story. |
