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

What do you care? You've condemned him already in an earlier post.

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.

I believe that they have caused more harm than good with this story, when this goes to court mr johnson`s representative will say that he has been sentenced by the media & probably get it thrown out of court. Not much justice for the victim !

Have your say with the express,let them know how you feel,my e-mail's on it's way,bombard the paper!!

FFS!

Lol

What a sordid, nasty little cabal of anti-Wakefield tosspots runs our local rag; it's clear that they revel in denigrating the city and for some reason, reserve the worst of their gutter press aspirations for our only professional sports team.

We all have a responsibility to boycott the paper and to bombard the editor with complaints about their blatant editorial agenda against WTW; it's a total disgrace.

In the interest in balance i do agree there has to be some publicity re: this but. Timing and FRONT PAGE!! maybe an article on the back pages would have been more appropriate.

You have to be joking though. with all the positivity and a club saved and they write about one young player who has signed and as yet not been convicted.

Very poor and i buy every week but i will avoid now.

How much paper do you think they will dedicate to printing an apology if he is found not guilty?

If the story is true we can hardly complain, we are trying to get the folk of wakefield behind us by promoting ourselves as a family club. If true the cowardly act is despicable and the person concerned should not be at our club. Imagine if the girl involved was your daughter what would be your feelings then ?

If he is convicted then he will no longer be at the club, he will be behind bars.

The club did sign him in full knowledge of the baggage behind him so can't be too surprised at this headline, no matter how sensationalist it is. Perhaps they should've waited till the after the hearing before moving in. Of course Huddersfield might not have been wanting to get rid if he was found not guilty.

Why the heck not? No-one is saying don't run the story - but we're grateful just to have a club right now and yet one negative story, about someone not even from Wakey, and it's on the front page FFS!

Whatever happened to innocent until proven guilty?

Until the lad is charged and tried maybe we should all keep our oppinions to ourselves including the Wakefield Express.

It's the front page thing that gets my goat, and the way the headline is put. Judgement by media is not acceptable.
