    BBC & the play offs

    I look at the BBC football website several times a day and as yet the only mention of the play offs has been the results of the semis for all divisions and a report on stewards being attacked at the Wigan/QPR semi.
    As this is supposedly the biggest financial game played anywhere why is it an afterthought for the Beeb?

    typical media nowadays - the beeb don't have rights to show the game, so it doesn't really exist - sky have a similar attitude to games that they don't have rights to...

    If there isn't some kind of PC connotation to a subject the BBC generally aren't that interested. They're more interested in Richard scudamore telling a '***ist' joke than the so called A£120m game.

    Sky can be just as bad, yesterday afternoon they showed half hour highlights of Burton's play off game twice both within 3 hours of each other, it could of been on earlier too but I was out, although I watched our game live I am still yet to see any replays

    Is Savage doing any coverage of our Final? Hope he gives us some backing if he is

    On the BBC weather this morning they mentioned the Heineken Cup final (which they are covering on 5 Live), but not a word about the Playoff finals!
