Go and listen to Sky Sports or Talk sport, or other outlets. The interviews are happening, just not on RD No I am not being petty, local radio serves the Derby public, and we as fans listen and support our local team, so let's have those bloody interviews now, and Mel to give an interview about what is happening at our club, and how many managers we will have in the next few years.

Half fan Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 9 minutes ago, G STAR RAM said: No honestly you really don't. You are a customer, nothing more nothing less. Do you demand to hear what is happening everywhere you are a customer of? I doubt you expect interviews from Tesco employees when they change their manager! I am sorry to say, G STAR, that your analogy is faulty. Not many people are brand loyal these days. But supporting a football club is a lifetime vocation. For some people it is their chosen focus for life, in a way that Tesco or even Aldi are not. Moreover, except for MU supporters, the local club is an essential part of the community. We seek to have pride in our club (interesting it's gone since Pride Park went) and feel part of it. So to deny our local Radio Station a direct contact (but allow national media to have it becasue of the financial penalty of withholding it) IS A DISGRACE. A SACKABLE OFFENCE. AND THEREFORE AN ABUSE OF POWER. STALINESQUE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radio derby are not answerable to the club and they are within their rights to have an opinion even if its not flattering. Is what that guy said a fact?Likewise DCFC are not answerable to RD and if they don't like the way they are being portrayed then why would they let them carry on with interviews?

Millenniumram Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 This is all very strange, but we shouldn't jump to conclusions until we know the facts- however IF that peters bloke is indeed correct then something is seriously wrong, it's a violation of free speech and I'd be extremely concerned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know there are lots that stick with DCFC through thick and thin too. I agree that it is not good but until you know the reasons for it, it could be worth witholding judgement? Good luck with sacking Mel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as others have said, there's probably more to it. Holloway at Sky and plenty of other pundits from BBC/The Guardian etc. have said much worse things and haven't had their media privileges removed (although I imagine it would be very difficult to ban an organisation like Sky).
