Any budding journos? : Mon Apr 26, 2010 11:47 am  

Anyone who attends matches fancy posting a detailed match report on here after games as its now nearly 1pm and there is still no coverage of the game or the FCHT game from Saturday on the courier website.

Sports stories haven't been updated until the evening for the past week or so.

Went into newsagents at 8.30 this morning for the Sun and my League Express and there on the counter was the 'Evening' Courier on sale, what's that about?
Will obviously not contain any of the days news. It did have reports on the weekends matches so there is no reason why the reports could not be put online before Monday night. Unless it is purely financial and they are worried that people are not buying paper copies and they are deliberately holding back on electronic versions to boost paper sales.

Why is it a disgrace? The Evening Courier is not there to provide us with free news, sports reports, etc, on their website for those of us too tight to pay for it. It is a commercial entity which has to make money to survive before even starting to make a profit.

jeffvickers, maybe you should be asking the club to start doing matchreports.

Oh I agree, it's a disgrace that they want to make a profit to keep the paper running!
