Once I read the Albion stuff at the back, I don't need it

I see they have started retweeting readers' (positive) comments about the paper today, presumably to counter the flak they will take over the price hike

You cant read the backpages now - apart from the very back page, sport has been stuck in the middle.
WH Smiths at the station wrongly charged me the old price. Having now read the new quality version, I would say it was overpiced at that old level.
I would blame Naylor or Brian Owen - but that poor attempt at outraged woman who writes on a monday is certainly the first person I would dump from it to save money.

On Monday you will see a new 12-page sports supplement which we hope will match the ever-increasing profile and success of Brighton and Hove Albion. It will also include more local, grass root sport.

Not sure how they can justify a 20p increase for that ? First time I haven't bought the Argus in years and won't anymore

I bought it today, and thought sports section was ok. I will probably just get it monday and friday now rather than every day. I like to support the local rag but I can see it turning into some mini-Daily Mail full of people moaning about parking all the time. Imo Naylor and Owen do a good job and it will only be big Albion news days that get me interested in the paper.

Has Paul Barber got a part time role at the Argus too, then?
Well the editor is called BEARD so another hair link
They are both BALD
The price has gone up whilst offering LESS
They claim to have CONSULTED with their customers
They both ATTRACT about 25k customers
They are both POOR at communication and need several attempts to GET the message across
The similarities are ENDLESS

Had a quick flick through to find out if the 20p increase was worth it & it's not, never known a newspaper to increase a jump of 20p in one go usually it goes up 2p a time probably just buy it on a Monday now just for all the football round ups over the weekend

I only ever buy it during the season on a Monday (or after a game) so the price increase will make no difference to me. And if the sport section on a Monday is better then it is a result.
