🗣️ | 𝗧𝗢𝗠 𝗚𝗢𝗥𝗥𝗜𝗡𝗚𝗘 (𝗖𝗘𝗢) “We have the Sky Sports cameras in attendance once again, although hopefully coverage of this fixture will be more balanced than what we witnessed around our game at Wrexham last weekend. While I don’t think anyone would dispute that we want to continue to grow the profile of the EFL product, the means by which we do so should be balanced and impartial. In my view, the build-up to and coverage of the game itself left a lot to be desired on those particular scores. With the production being done by Rob and Ryan’s own production company, all of the guests and focus was on their team, there were celebrations with David Prutton - the face of Sky’s EFL coverage - and the advert for the commentary of the game failed to mention that we were playing at all. It felt to myself and a number of members of our staff that we were very much an afterthought and that our hosts were given priority at every opportunity, and as a club we would strongly suggest that greater critical thought is given to how these situations are handled moving forward. This is a position that I will discuss with the EFL next week.” Very well said. 👏🤍

1985 Bristol vs Newport : "I’m not a boxing referee. This is street violence." Met Police Superintendent & Ref George Crawford famously walked off mid-game. He headed straight to the clubhouse, grabbed a drink, and watched the rest of the match as a spectator. Legend. 🍺
