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