    How come all the BBC footage of Reading / Leeds comes from the Reading site and no footage from Leeds??

    Again another demonstration of the BBC's biased towards the south.

    Been that way ever since I could remember. I went 2003-2008 and wanted photos from the BBC for keepsakes and the ration of Reading to Leeds was about 4 or 5:1.

    A bias that's not for Leeds. Look North would go into meltdown if it found out and Harry Gration would have a coronary. It just doesn't happen in the world of local news programming.

    Leeds are in dispute with BBC and are not speaking with them or allowing access to players only where they are contracted to. Every Leeds match report at Elland Rd so far has ended with a statement telling us this. This might explain the one-sided nature of it but no doubt bias would have existed anyhow
