All England 2005 Publicity Poll

[Site Support]

Apart form the BA of E website how much publicity has been given over to the All England 2005 Tournament?

And on that note is it going to be covered on Sky again this year?

I know Sky have many sport channels to fill and it fills the space up so is probably not a big deal to them but why don't the BBC ever show selected matches or highlights?

I remember the BBC showed about 15 mins of the event last year. I seem to recall that it was supposed to be shown on the same Sunday but ended up being more than a week later for some reason. Something like indoor curling took precedence!!

As we already know, the BBC seem reluctant to show any badminton.

Whatever happened to the petition that was being sent in?
