You've hit the nail on the head. Very 'Daily Mail' style headlines at the moment, over nothing much at all - the animosity over the skatepark etc. is at odds with campaigns over getting kids active, but suits whatever agenda it has that week.



It's not as if it can't be accused of bias from Cas/Fev as they have their own paper to cover their stadium issues, so really, what is the Express' problem with Wakefield (the city, not the club) getting a new stadium.

To be fair to the WE, this isn't a story yet, as in, it hasn't happened yet.

Maybe next weeks edition may be more indepth as there will have been an event to report on, who knows there may even be pictures!!!icon_wink.gif

The excuse for the 5K story not having more coverage then it got was that the news was a week old by the time the Express could print it so, if the piece on the website is anything to go by, I don’t imagine there will be much more in next weeks edition.

Agree, email it in copy and paste its bang on.



How funny was the sex for booze story what a non event. No evidence just someone whinging. As if that happens at most girls will flutter the eyelashes at you to get them alcohol.



As I said to the Mrs's if there is sex for beer going on then I am off down for some action with a carling 24 pack.

But there is more that I gave the WE as a scoop. They turned their nose up at it - ah well!

Can we have the swoop?

I have stopped buying it. All there seems to be is a constant drip feed of negative articles about our club. Many people on here have said many times that the public of Wakefield seem to have more apathy towards their club than any other place that has a RL team. I think the sustained negativity by Wakey Express may have something to do with this.



I have also posted more about this on The Richard Moore thread.

Well they will have a fair bit to report after today, so if we don't get good coverage, (1000 x more than the 10 residents who are against it!!) then they have failed to show a balanced view of the event.

So lets organise another petition, to boycott the paper, 10000 off there readership would, I would imagine put them out of business.

Vive la revolution!!! Anyone got an a-z for Havana?!?!?!?

Just down from Mex isn't it?



On my way to 'work' now, so sadly can't be there. Will give you a mention this afternoon and follow events on here!

Trade looked brisk!!!

Should be well over our target, fingers crossed!!!

It went well today but i'll let TRB post the news.
