They didn't seem to ignore ECFC when they were in the conference.
On the contrary, in our first season in the Conference, BBC Spotlight made a very specific point of dropping coverage of our results, in favour of showing Yeovil's goals etc - as the Glovers had just gone in the opposite direction up to the League. Even though, Yeovil were also covered by the BBC Bristol area I think.
Of course, in our second Conference season we then went on our Cup run and met Man Utd, which resulted in wide national media coverage. At that point, they came back to us with their tails between their legs. Very satisfying.
But the coverage of Conference action was still very patchy after that.
Do agree, though that it is a consequence of a very marked Plymouth-centric approach by the Beeb.
