BBC Sport has announced that two of the first four live games it is covering in the Coca-Cola Football League Championship 2009/10 - that's 20 percent of live games shown on free to air television will feature the same club - Newcastle United.
As a football fan, I would like to see fans of as many clubs as possible share the ability to watch their club live on the BBC, and BBC Sport not chase viewing figures instead.
Please support this petition to make the BBC change their policy in picking the same team on more than one occassion, to the detriment of supporters of other Championship Clubs.
Reaching this threshold of signatures confirms that many of you feel the same frustration regarding the lack of variety in the coverage. It is heartening to see that the desire for a fairer approach to broadcasting the Championship is shared by so many people across the country.

The feedback I receive confirms that many fans feel sidelined by the current focus on a single club. I am currently reaching out to sports editors to discuss why a more diverse selection process serves the broader football community better.

The steady growth of this petition shows that many of you share the frustration of a narrow selection process. We are nearing one hundred signatures and reaching that mark will demonstrate the depth of our request to the BBC. Please take a moment to forward this page to a fellow supporter who values variety in our football coverage.
