So whats new?!!! Over the past 6-10 years Stanley have been mishandled by the local BBC radio and tv stations on a regular basis. When we were in the conference they preferred to broadcast Morecambes game on full commentary, and continued to do so even when we went into the football league. Stanley mentions on anything but Late kick Off are a massive rarety and when we do get them they are usually so direly reported(dan's recent efforts excluded) that they might as well not have bothered.

Its very poor but it is sadly how it is, I sometimes wonder what actually might get us a bit more publicity, however aside from bringing out a new see through kit or it being the day of a cup final we're participating in (the oppo would probably get more coverage on this one anyway!) then sadly we will be seeing nothing much of Stanley on TV in the near future.
