    I believe Grimsby were playing in the FA Cup at the same time as Ferriby yesterday, whilst City and Scunny were also playing. That suggests to me that they don't have enough bandwidth (or mobile equipment or people for that matter I guess) available to cover all their teams equally. Did anyone listen?

    I presume the compromise and the 'truly BBC' thing to do would be to split coverage across their digital channel for both teams in the FA Cup equally. I don't even know why, but I was interested how they'd cover a conundrum which may happen more often in the future.

    The only time I hear Radio Norfolk is when it's on in my local or some such. So.....I wouldn't know.

    On the question of cover, I'd guess specialist stations will cover more games/sports on-line in future.

    so whilst the forum's radio heros (Misters Burns & Swann) were covering HULL CITY, who was covering Grimsby Town and North Ferriby in the FACup. A straight forward question really? Somebody must have listened to the radio commentary!

    So do you know what happened yesterday: as in, how they split the coverage to maintain their fair distribution? As per the original question....

    You really thinking they're going to ignore a premier league game away against one if the worlds biggest clubs to broadcast a non league tinpot club or a village team?

    They don't cover the sunday leagues either Mussie, why would they cover Ferriby? I woulda thought anyone actually interested in their game would have been there.

    Perhaps you should ask some Grimsby or North Ferriby fans.
