It's what we are up against I'm afraid, and without the mass media coverage that higher level football gets there's not much we can do about it I think. It is certainly the reason why when I log in as an exile to the match threads generally I give the away commentaries a swerve.
Not sure if the local Alty press attend aways, it would be good if they did at least to try and provide a balance, even if equally "one-eyed".
The first game we played at Aylesbury in about 1988 I met up with an old Uni mate who worked for the local Aylesbury rag. He got me a press ticket and I sat up in the box with two of them from different papers. My mate had to provide the cover for the Pink up to about 60 mins in as they didn't send anyone down, so I'll say that if anyone has a clip of that still it is pretty much exclusively mine, well it was his till I told him to edit it. In fairness my pal at the time knew nothing about conference football, nothing about Aylesbury and nothing about Alty....he was just told to get down there and produce a report.
