NIMBY sympathising in the Daily Telegraph

[portlock seagull]

A side from the Argus, the Telegraph probably covered the Albion's struggle to survive over the past 10 years more than any other paper, most of them very pro-Falmer. Sure this hada lot to do with Albion supporting Paul Hayward who until recently was their chief sports writer. However I remember they featured at least 1 news section full page on the battle against Bellotti and Archer in the late 90's and we weren't slagging them then were we children? Personally I like the broadsheets because they a) give coverage to football outside the Premiership b) their reports aren't just cliche-ridden age old boring quotes from players and actually tell you something about the match. You might not agree always but at least there's something there to debate. I can't stand tabloids featuring a 3 page special on Michael Owens latest shin-injury whilst Wrexham being wound-up is "in brief" next to the sex-aid advertisment on page 34.....!

We are talking about the Daily Telegraph ... what do you expect other than ill-informed drivel from the Home Counties? Just ignore them. The poor blighters don't know any better - they live in the 1950s.

Fair enough, although as you say a lot of that was down to Paul Hayward. Hopefully he will inject some sanity and reason into his new rather downmarket paper.
