I guess it's a case of you can't please all the people all the time. This reminds me a bit of BBC Look East in my area where there is a constant complaint that the coverage is Norwich City biased over Ipswich Town.

It must be true that if Wales were in the World Cup then the coverage would be more representative. Moreover - and I'm not being funny - but if the Welsh team had the same level of players and expectation as the England team then the coverage would be more level IMO.
