I don't think that's the point. I write my match reports for established supporters; not to get new ones or persuade new fans to attend the games. It's not Missionary work: it's to help to keep the profile of the club as high as possible. Even
Tesco recognise that Every Little Helps. BBC Local Radio is generally poor - in fact, it's crap: listening to its utterly brainless output, it's no wonder so many Southerners in particular think we're all thick up here. The BBC TV in Manchester is Manc-centric and I still think their piss-take of our club and our town as a pale shadow of Rio when that Brazilian gentleman was about to become involved a few years ago by the idiot who still presents `sport' on the programme was a really cheap piece of journalism - `Ee - look at them yokels Oop North and thurr silly little team! I can look out of our windy here in Sunny Salford at Old Trafford whurr real football is played and thurr is
celebrities!'. In my view, one of the reasons - as Derek Adams so perceptively identified - that so many people even at the club saw it as `little old Morecambe' is because that is the way it is portrayed by the local state-owned radio and TV stations. I don't pay my license fee to be bombarded by endless stuff about PNE and Blackburn Rovers. But that's what we get, week-in and week-out. It's about time it stopped: the club has been sensational for the last two seasons and this should be broadcast right across the region by the tired, boring old institutions which have the power to do it. Onwards the Revolution! Viva El Robbo!
