However it doesn't require blanket coverage and I have long been bored to tears by the over-coverage of the most minor of soccer matches :-(<br /> More diversity would be very welcome! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5339#post-57259 Fri, 17 Feb 2012 23:47:37 +0000 PS 57259@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Apparently the cyclists (presume the ladies) are on the front of the Guardian tomorrow. Column inch by column inch... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5339#post-57258 Fri, 17 Feb 2012 23:44:39 +0000 kaputnik 57258@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Fantastic achievement and regardless of what "some people" might think - seeing women on bikes in the national colours winning medals and being the best in the world can only be good for women's cycling.</p> <p>BBC "Sports" coverage on Iplayer has 16 football shows. Totality of all other sport in 14 further shows, half of which (unsurprisingly for time of year) are rugby.</p> <p>There's still a lot of progress to be made with the media when it comes to cycling as a sport. Pick up any newspaper sports supplement or visit the BBC Sport website (particularly BBC Scotland section) and it might as well be called the Football section.</p> <p>Not a go at football - but the BBC in particular invests masses of money and airtime serving what is ultimately a largely male demographic and something that when push comes to shove, the home nations are pretty embarrassingly bad at playing. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5339#post-57256 Fri, 17 Feb 2012 23:35:31 +0000 Smudge 57256@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Nice to hear about more British cyclists winning, well done the ladies!<br /> :-) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5339#post-57252 Fri, 17 Feb 2012 22:39:26 +0000 Claggy Cog 57252@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Go! the women... fantastic achievement.
