For the first time in an age, it was I, in our household, that acquired the local rag. Whilst I sat in Morrisons car park (and no, I wasn’t on any form of dogging venture) I thumbed through the sports pages to see if there was much ado about the club.
Given that there isn’t much activity at the moment on the football front, the lads, Cyrill and Andy, still manage to put in some snippets every week to try and keep it in the forefront of peoples minds. Given that one or two quarters on the forum have a regular pop at the lads for their supposed “negative” coverage, I personally think they provide excellent support and good reporting of the trials and tribulations at the club.
But what they probably don’t get enough credit for, is their coverage of ALL the sports and ALL the age groups in their sports section. Today there is an excellent piece on Hockey, usual great coverage of the two main cricket teams with a sprinkling of news on the local village sides. Golf, badminton, Petanque, 5’s&3’s, kids football etc etc etc were also covered well.
Many other publications provide nothing comparable to the Free Press, which for a town the size of Brid – circa 32,000 is brilliant. Keep it up lads you do a good job.
