I used to look forward to getting the wakefield express on a friday morning to read on the train on the way to work.... I left wakefield in 94 but would still avidly read the express everytime I visited my parents.

Then a change happened... the stories became less and less supportive of the club. The newspaper didnt seem to represent the fans in their presentation... somehow Leeds united bacame a fixture in the pages... (why not Barnsley FC its nearer for gods sake!)... the general presentation of the paper became trashier, and sensationalist... real local stories were given the tabloid treatment. now the newspaper is low brow, unconnected to the city residents, and in no way supports the city in the way a local paper should...

The editor has to take responsibility for this...

Agree with Spock on this, i will buy it again if it ever returns to being a local newspaper, i have often wondered why there is no Barnsley coverage when Leeds gets so much space.

Paper boycotts do work. The Sun is still not bought on Mersyside.

I know its a local rag but isn't it right that someone who has been involved in such action is condemned for it?

Have not bought for a few years now, due to the rag having nothing but negative crap on the front page,
and also taking great delight in bringing down Wakefield the City, and Trinity the Club, whenever it got the slightest opportunity.

Hope the whole apology for local news and views dies a very quick death.

It's the timing mate, the timing. the most positive week in recent memory for Trin and that's the result from our local rag.

Just e-mailed this to the Express -

I have been buying the Wakefield Express all my adult life, as my Dad did before me. After seeing Tomorrows headline (25/02/2011) I no longer think this 'paper' is for me and will no longer be purchasing it. The only reason this is a headline story is because of the turmoil WAKEFIELD trinity have been through in recent weeks. There is such a positive story you could have wrote.

I do not buy tabloid papers for the very reason I will no longer buy the Wakefied Express.

Woooooaaah, smart. Condemned? Has he been proven guilty? What do you know about it? That's right.... sod all.

Why should this denegrate the name of the club? It clearly does, as the lead header implicates such. It seems clear to me that the editor has been negligent in his/her duties.

E-mails sent to all 3 addresses given by Inflatable Armadillo.

Maybe look at the club for the timing of the signing?? Devils advocate

I hope for the lads sake the case isn't as it is being reported but doesnt look good does it

Your argument is still completely irrelevant, as always.

Has the player been proven guilty? Sentenced?
If not, why should other parties be implicated in the matter? What does it have to do with them?

got nothing to do with timing this paper has a vendetta against the club for years, it will not print anything of a positive nature and I would give two hoots if the publishers went bust.

not bought it for years and never will

On the contrary Snowmiester. I would give 2 hoots if the whole sorry disgrace of a waste of rain forest went bust.
No your right , I would give a million hoots.
