Notts Canary 0 Posted March 17, 2005 Does anyone else get frustrated with the local press for blatantly putting a positive spin on everything just so they can keep in with the club? How long can play they play the battling hero line? It seems that Richard Ball’s is the only one who speaks his mind. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rich 0 Posted March 17, 2005 it is frustrating, but also sadly the state of things. I have a friend who works for a local in london and in his first job criticised the team for what he thought was a bad performance. he was immediatly banned from news conferences, matches and exclusive stories. the paper had to move him across to another team and he was lucky most papers wouldn''t have give him another chance. that''s why the criticism has to be guarded and kept low key, because the papers rely on the clubs, thats why fanzines tend to be more able to criticise. rich Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
