Pugin 601 Posted April 14, 2020 We were warned that The Athletic were known for aggressive marketing and were hellbent on dominating the serious sports-writing market. Well, they have made their latest move. The Athletic is available free for 3 months, with the assurance that subscription can be cancelled at any time. It's an offer which is hard to decline, but I would suggest that it is a nail in the coffin for many of the excellent provincial football writers around the country, who are already an endangered species. I don't like it, but it is hard to resist... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aggy 752 Posted April 14, 2020 I did wonder whether they would do something like this. To be honest, the few times I’ve read anything from them - and it’s only the intro admittedly before you can only read on with a subscription - I haven’t been impressed enough to pay money for it. There are plenty of places to read decent stuff about football for free. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
