What a stupid article this is from the Argus...

[ali jenkins]

Brighton fans calling for new giant flag ahead of Villa clash From The Argus)

 

[The Large One]

It is believed to have been stored in an anonymous-looking bag in a shed which was removed for the work to take place, and thrown away with the other detritus.

Charming.

[Barrel of Fun]

Not a single quote from any Albion fan suggesting that they want a large flag in time for Villa. Rubbish article, rubbish paper.

 

[Withdean Wanderer]

But of course, the Argus don't use NSC for their content...

 

[severnside gull]

must have read the thread on here which actually did ask the question a week or so ago

Slow news day at tha Anus then

My initial comments:

"I'm sick to death of the Argus trying to make stories out of threads on NSC" don't seem to have been quoted!!

But actually, I suspect that the flag was chucked out when the new changing rooms and hospitality were built.

How long has the Argus got, realistically?

They seem to have done away with proof readers, fact checkers and proper journalists, it is widely documented that they pay their staff appalling wages and circulation figures suggest its readership is rapidly dwindling. If they made a real effort with the website it might just have a chance but the website it actually terrible and the more error strewn and poorly written it gets the less chance they have of turning things round.

RIP The Argus

SHITE paper, only get it to read the sports, and they cock THAT up.

I'm actually using this page as my source of Albion news more than that useless waste of trees and the overly bloated site we call seagulls.co.uk!

Must have been slightly more than a chuck out.

That thing weighed a ton. And I know, I carried it!

I mean, its hardly a "What's this here. No-one will want this" lob into a bin

going the way of most local newspapers I'm afraid. can't compete against free media like the web and free papers. So they cut costs, become more remote from the population they serve, become less relevant to that propulations and eventually wither and die.

v sad (an ex local paper journo)

 

[The Large One]

The paper is put together (as opposed to *cough* 'written') in India.

What relevance do you think that has to the content?

I respectfully beg to differ. It was in a gert, great ballast bag. It probably just looked like a lot of other shit that went into a skip. Builders aren't employed to make philosophical decisions about every single item they encounter so without instructions to the contrary, if it was in the way, out it'd go.

(Having spent several months living in a house transformed into a building site, last year, this I can confirm!)

[Chicken Runner61]
