Hopefully the Adver will just die. Awful for years and getting worse.

True. But the passing (if it does carry on going downhill) of a Swindon institution like the Adver is nothing to celebrate really.

And print media with it.

Its a bit crowded, Adver, FLIC and Link all covering the local sport on the net.
What, or where did FLIC come from? Nothing against them, but they just sort of appeared and I wondered if they were a full time affair, nationally owned, or a similar local but competitor of Link.
I beleive FLIC is a young lad (andrew Steele Davis) that is trying to make a name for himself and is learning the ropes by covering stfc whom he supports, I believe it is run from his family home and is owned by his parents. I think he has his press passes etc. Last season with the fallout with Sam I think stfc were helping him out by giving him exclusives so getting his rit rate up.

Oh right, thanks. Well good luck to him.
Not happy with the club's treatment of the Adver mind. Personally I thought Sam played it too much as the clubs mouthpiece anyway through fear of getting frozen out. Particullarily when BS Jed was around and their were a lot of unanswered questions. But he got frozen out anyway...
Did we every find out what the 1940's debt was all about or what happened to the fianancial audit (assuming this was not simply what led to the 'missing money' allogation).

FLIC is owned by Mark Neilson (local construction/boxing promotion etc) - he bought it off a guy called Daniel Webb a couple of years ago. They employ Andrew but not many others. He's press accredited etc for games. Works very hard in a pretty tough role.

Nice to be tracking all the news sources - thx mods - but as noted elsewhere, there are now so many of them that they'll begin to swamp the home page, pushing TEF discussion out of sight. Is there a way to resolve this? Just have a menu link to the news feeds, and keep the front page for TEF content? From a tech point of view, could a news item then come onto the forum home page only if someone comments on it?

He did have his own company, not sure what happened to it.. but FLIC isn't his, he just works for them. He's a lovely guy, massive Town fan as you rightly pointed out and he works very hard. Wish he'd stop using every cliché under the sun though!

My pleasure. Makes it much easier to just come here and have all the links available so it was driven by laziness on my part I never use the homepage so was unaware of this. I'll see what I can do.

Been playing, doesn't look like there's an easy way to differentiate between 'normal' posts and News Monkey posts.
I can take the Linksport and Washbag posts out again if they're annoying everyone?

Is there no way of just linking in to Linksport and Washbag once....and then being able to look at the individual things from their menu?
