Given the latest front pager, do you think this newspaper is worth buying any more?
Do you think it's worth holding exclusives for this newspaper to print any more?
Do you think it's better to use the "new media" to communicate messages to the fans?
Can we generate our own support without the "help" of the sensationalist local press?

 I don't do many, but this one has really got my goat. I hope we contest this. Pathetic support from the local press. I won't even bother with an online click for that rag anymore. The YEP has it covered anyway.

Maybe that's what they want - seeing as they are part of the same group and one is daily and one not!

My response
To the editor
Thank you so much for your "support". Needless to say after 40 years I shall no longer be buying your paper and no one else in the household will either, that is a promise. The headline is deliberately provocative and smacks of the gutter press I doubt even the SUN would have run with THAT.

I'm sure they'd like you to buy both.
I don't have a problem with a local paper reporting local news in a relevant way, but this isn't it, by any stretch of the imagination. I also think AG would have a case if he took this further. This shoddy publication should be shut down. Wakefield will be none the worse for it, unless they can find a decent editor to publish something truthfull and worthwhile.

As a Cas fan, I would boycott it for sure, Even the Ponty and Cas wouldnt go this low to pick holes in you.
I dont see why this is such a big issue? He didnt commit the offence while with you, And its hardly like he is a superstar long term signing.
Very bad work IMO from the Wakefield Express

I'm not surprised it's in the printed bog roll given its exemplary journalistic track record, but... front page? Seriously? Thank you kindly for the advertisement, WE.

I don't buy it so don't know what the latest headlines are.
I stopped buying it about 20 years ago because it was crap - seems it hasnt improved!

I'v sent a letter to the editor to let him know that I will not be purchasing his foetid rag until they drop this ridiculous agenda, and will encourage my family, friends and colleagues to do the same.
