The Demise of The Brighton Argus

[Guinness Boy]

I stopped reading when Naylor left to be honest.
He’s always gotten plenty of carp on NSC, but I enjoyed his reporting and articles.

He cod always give as good as he got.

It was never the same without John Vinicombe.

Or Jack Arlidge
Trouble with Argus has tryed to be a Sussex and even a national paper. They should realise there is justification in having a Brighton/Hove only paper fvor local trades busineses,sports and entertainment. Certainly Mid Sussex Times and Eastbourne Herald do a good job in there areas

The final straw was trying to charge for the absolute drivel and the pleasure of viewing their adverts.

It’s a shame, all the local news sites are absolutely awful.

Never been the same since they stopped “Vinicombes Albion Analysis”

Shock horror I still buy the printed Argus and for me it is very different to online. I read news about Brighton, the rest of Sussex that I cannot see online. Also BrIan Owen’s articles are excellent. Yes there are bloomers every so often but has not that always been so with local papers? Of course the Argus is not in its heyday but few local papers are but the printed version beats the online stuff imho.

Was it not called “Vinicombes Verdict” ?

Have you ever tried the Middy's website - it's atrocious.

Was it not called “Vinicombes Verdict” ?

I once heard a story that John Vinicombe was in a pub at an away game, when an Albion fan from Worthing, who didn’t necessarily agree with his analysis, presented a jobby to him on a dart board With the comment ‘Vinicombe eats turds!’
