IslandExile Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 We need the campaign for fairness, support for the petition and the need for a fit-for-purpose EFL, to reach and be promoted by the National media. Please provide details of contacts so that we might all do that and post any response that you receive. Send news of the petition, supporting MPs and celebrities, anything that will make it a public interest story. Let's get the issues covered. For example: BBC Football suggest: Get involved #bbcfootball or text 81111 (UK only, standard message rates apply) Mihangel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SecretDave Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 I contacted Central News on Friday, and they say they are probably covering the story today and may speak to me later. Big stories on there often get picked up by the ITV National News, so it might be worth more fans dropping them a few messages. centralnews@itv.com IslandExile and Norman 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IslandExile Posted January 17, 2022 Author Share Posted January 17, 2022 It really annoys me that the only interest the national media - Sky especially - have with us is whether Everton will recruit Rooney. Premier, Premier, Premier. One angle they could take about Derby's fight with the EFL is that it could scupper an amazing football miracle - in their efforts to get founder member Derby relegated/liquidated, the EFL breaking the law along the way, they may kill a sports story to go with the best of them.

Yeah it’s a infuriating innit. Think theres a few who can’t be bothered to really look into it. Look at Henry Winter’s half commited tweet last night. It helps but it’s not really getting the point over. Inverurie Ram, IslandExile and Rammy03 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sufferingfool Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 I fear the big story they are waiting for would be our liquidation then it would be National news with lots of hand wringing and seeking blame, ‘how was this allowed to happen’ until then I’m afraid aside from local sports reporting we are small beer! The news we get to hear about is very selective. Inverurie Ram, Rammy03, JoetheRam and 1 other 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HuddersRam Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 I've spoken with David Conn this morning (Guardian) who was absolutely vital in the unearthing of the Three Amigos saga.

RadioactiveWaste Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 If Rooney leaves, any national interest will leave with him. That's a media reality. To the extent anyone outside would care it'd be "oh, that's sad, yes the EFL are hopeless but never mind" RoyMac5 and Rammy03 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cosmic Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Gary Neville's "Save Brewdog" tweet sums it up. No interest whatsoever outside the top 6. Inverurie Ram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rammy03 Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Just now, cosmic said: Gary Neville's "Save Brewdog" tweet sums it up. No interest whatsoever outside the top 6. He did mention our situation on Friday night football a few months ago, I think it was when we went into administration. But it's not good enough. This needs to be everywhere. Those who dont understand the situation need to understand it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
