Are the National Media the biggest JCL's of them all?

[portlock seagull]

Don't expect saturation coverage but we're still 'under the radar' aren't we, almost like we've done something wrong? Bet when it's confirmed they're all over us like a nasty rash! JCL's eh?!

 

[Perkino]

It's embarrassing! There's a team ahead of Newcastle they should be going mad, even if we were still close enough to challenge they should be making a fuss about us but our headline space has been awful all season.

 

[Eeyore]

The media don't matter. Their job is to sell their product. Albion aren't as sexy as a Newcastle United drama.

I don't know why we crave headlines. Who cares ? Let 'bigger' clubs like Leeds United and Derby County hog them. It's not as if it's doing them any favours.

dont worry, there'll be plenty of "rags to riches" stories if we are promoted to the Premiership for first time. enjoy the silence.

Have your read the papers today ?

Every single team in the league feels like they get too much/not enough/the wrong kind of media attention.

This just isn't true.

We've been on the TV an absurd amount of times this season, 16, 17 times maybe?

Sky go on and on about us. We have the player of the season. We won the goal of the season. We have a player in the EFL team of the season.

If you read the opinions of other fans, they all think that all the media talk about is Brighton, Brighton and Brighton.

Not a word in the papers today about the QPR match, who cares ? As long as the table shows us as top that is all that counts and let them have their Newcastle/MASSIVE/Mighty love in

There are a few words but yes, It was covered extensively in Saturday's papers.

Probably because it happened on FRIDAY and was covered in the weekend papers .

Can we please try to avoid perpetuating the myth that football began in 1992. Even though this would be to my advantage having not been around to experience 79 - 83.

This is a myth. Championship coverage is always limited compared to Prem League coverage but we've had the lions share. Obviously given we're top of the league.
The latest being last nights EFL awards.
Brighton is a good story.
And they haven't even started yet...

At least the media use Premier League

Our marketing department would love more headlines. The more exposure we get, the more we're worth as a commodity to businesses who might want their name associated with us if we can give them great exposure. You can't earn anything serious from sponsors if you're never in the media.

I think that the number of live televised matches that involve the Albion will dispel the 'under the radar' notion. Let's face it, we are the media darlings and always have been since the Gus days. To be honest I love it. It's the recognition we deserve and have craved for, and for all the right reasons. Enjoy it while it lasts.

I get that point. But I would argue that a team that is about to reach the top level with a stadium regularly full to capacity should enough to sell the product.

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

Our fans are SO precious

We get VERY good coverage. We used to on the bbc, we do now on Sky and Channel 5.

I have no idea where people get this idea from.
