Sports

• Sports coverage on BBC Radio Humberside is provocative to Lincolnshire people.

• Rugby League is extensively covered and yet Lincolnshire has no professional Rugby League presence.

• Yorkshire cricket is prominent on BBC Radio Humberside – again provocative to Lincolnshire ears.

• BBC Radio Humberside counters this Yorkshire cricket bias with mention of Nottinghamshire, assuming Lincolnshire cricket fans support this county above their own.

• BBC Radio Lincolnshire Sport struggled for many years with only one senior soccer club. The addition of Grimsby Town and Scunthorpe United would strengthen programme content on BBC Radio Lincolnshire.
