Championship club Swansea are reportedly set to raise concerns with the English Football League over Sky Sports' coverage of their match against Wrexham.
Earlier in the month, Swansea travelled to the Racecourse Ground to take on promotion chasing Wrexham.
It turned out to be a brilliant night for the Red Dragons as a goal from Nathan Broadhead plus an own goal by Liam Cullen sealed a 2-0 victory for the hosts.
On the night, the match was being broadcast live on Sky Sports with viewers given the chance to watch the game with commentary from Wrexham owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mac.

The pair were alongside the Sky presenter David Prutton and it was marketed as 'Live from Wrexham with Rob & Ryan'.
However, Swansea chief executive Tom Gorringe has recently criticised the coverage, claiming that Wrexham 'were given priority at every opportunity' and stated that the 'buildup and coverage of the game itself left a lot to be desired'.
In the match programme for Swansea's clash against Coventry, 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.
"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. In my view, the buildup to and coverage of the game itself left a lot to be desired on those particular scores."
He continued: "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.
"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. This is a position that I will discuss with the EFL next week."
According to The Guardian, Sky told BBC Wales that they were responsible for the coverage and stated that it was 'fair and balanced'.
