Wrexham won the March 13 Championship encounter 2-0 on a night when Mac and Reynolds provided alternative commentary alongside Sky presenter David Prutton.<\/p>\n
Sky Sports trailed the live commentary — which ran on one of its channels alongside the usual match coverage on its main platform — as “part of a first-of-its kind broadcast.”<\/p>\n
– Wrexham win one of Parkinson’s best – assistant<\/a> Mac, who has just celebrated his fifth anniversary as Wrexham co-owner with Reynolds, later called being able to commentate on the game as the “most rewarding professional experience of my entire life.”<\/p>\n But Swansea were unhappy with how they were treated in north Wales, with chief executive Tom Gorringe saying the “build-up and coverage of the game itself left a lot to be desired on those particular scores.”<\/p>\n Writing in the programme ahead of Swansea’s home game with league leaders Coventry on Saturday evening, Gorringe said: “We have the Sky Sports cameras in attendance once again, although hopefully coverage of this fixture will be more balanced than what we witnessed around our game at Wrexham last weekend.<\/p>\n “While I don’t think anyone would dispute that we want to continue to grow the profile of the EFL product, the means by which we do so should be balanced and impartial.<\/p>\n “In my view, the build-up to and coverage of the game itself left a lot to be desired on those particular scores.<\/p>\n “With the production being done by Rob and Ryan’s own production company, all of the guests and focus was on their team, there were celebrations with David Prutton — the face of Sky’s EFL coverage — and the advert for the commentary of the game failed to mention that we were playing at all.<\/p>\n “It felt to myself and a number of members of our staff that we were very much an afterthought and that our hosts were given priority at every opportunity, and as a club we would strongly suggest that greater critical thought is given to how these situations are handled moving forward.<\/p>\n “This is a position that I will discuss with the EFL next week.”<\/p>\n Sky Sports have told BBC Wales that, contrary to Gorringe’s statement, it was responsible for the production of the Wrexham-Swansea coverage.<\/p>\n The television company added that its match coverage was fair and balanced.<\/p>\n Former Swansea captain Ashley Williams was one of their pundits, while Swans boss Vitor Matos — like opposite number Phil Parkinson — was interviewed before and after the game.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Mar 21, 2026, 01:22 PM ET Swansea will raise concerns over television coverage of their all-Welsh affair against…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":537427,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[403,99],"class_list":["post-537426","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-soccer","tag-soccer","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/537426","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=537426"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/537426\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/537427"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=537426"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=537426"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=537426"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
