I think a line should be drawn here.

There is no one on this forum that has and will condone such an act, the law will takes its course and I hope the right decision will be made.

The relationship with the media i.e Wakefield express and the sky sports team will have to be worked on to show the positives of the club.

There is nothing we can do about speculation of our future in SL, we can only show the positives of the players and fans in backing Andrew Glover in a achieving our aim to be successful.

I hope Mr Bradley can take this on board as success for the club could give him increased sales getting behind the club than trying to show the us in the wrong light

That sentence is a thing of beauty; you are my new best friend.

It's not just us though, is it? As others have pointed out, the WE thrives on negativity and offering the bleakest view of the city it possibly can. This is more polemic than balanced journalism. The rag needs a new editor, someone who understands what a local paper is actually about, not someone who appears to have one eye on the editor's job at the Daily Mail.

Your use of the semicolon is duly noted [sizeand has been recorded in your file[/size.

Thanks - am I approaching my limit of intellectually affected use of arcane punctuation yet, or can I continue to wield my semi with wild abandon?

Take a leaf from many football chairman, sick of the negativity, ban them. If they want to report, they can pay to get in. Tough.

There's the official website, loads of sports ones and local radio stations to get messages out to.

The Express is not fit for fish and chips, makes them too bitter. Years and years and years of feeding them exclusives and what has the club ever got back in return?

They are fools to mess with a club now owned by someone who can afford TV advertising for his business, and that ain't cheap!

i've known the WE has printed nothing but negativity for awhile especially about trin that is why i don't buy it any more. Hit'em where it hurts in their pockets!

Boo ya shaka! A friend!!!

Although he says he offers no opinion, the mere fact that it was selected as the front page story says that in the editor's opinion that is the most important story in Wakefield this week.

Although he is careful with his words, as he clearly knows the rules on reporting on-going cases, the use of a picture of the player in a Wakefield shirt alongside a picture of the victim and her injuries says more than a thousand words.

What opinion will be formed by people seeing that front page on the news-stand?

Damage done. A step too far with the timing and other negative stories in the past. Prepare to take the consequences.

Cancel that - in light of the above, it's revoked.

Great post, but that highlighted sentence is little short of outstanding.

I'm going to shamelessly steal that superb piece of prose for future use. I'll share the by-line with you though.

Inviting the editors down would be a good idea.

It's time to build bridges not burn them further.

The best thing would be to sack the Editor and replace the staff, the paper needs a new fresh start I say...

I vote "owiepob" as next editor...
