rf_fozzy Aug 2021 3:08pm, 5 Aug 2021 15,021 posts	Quote Pin rf_fozzy During bad light, consider this: Teams covered on free to air BBC TV in "flagship" new "competition" (combining Mens and Womens games): Surrey: 3 games Lancs: 6 games Notts: 3 games Hamps: 4 games Middlesex: 4 games Glamorgan: 3 games Warwicks: 2 games Yorkshire: 1 (mens) game. Not a very even spread... Even if it were a proper competition, but it's not. Still should expect equitable distribution of games...

rf_fozzy Aug 2021 3:13pm, 5 Aug 2021 15,023 posts	Quote Pin rf_fozzy My apologies missed the last game on the BBC list. Should be Warwicks with 3 games and Yorkshire with 2 games. Point still stands. More games for London/southern teams and for some reason Lancashire....

rf_fozzy Aug 2021 3:22pm, 5 Aug 2021 15,024 posts	Quote Pin rf_fozzy Only 4 of the games (2x double headers) are at Old Trafford (not that this is a point), although this is 22% of the games shown by the BBC. It's not the choice of home teams - other than the 4 at old Trafford, they're only doing 2 home games for each of the other teams. It's the choice of the away teams that has caused the disproportionate coverage. This type of analysis should be someone's job - it's bloody obvious that they should be spreading air time equally amongst all the teams. Even in shit "competitions"
