Post by: herthab on Monday, June 6, 2011, 18:19:40
There's a lot of criticism of The Adver, just wondered what people thought....

I voted for the last option.

But seriously, I can't see what else the Adver can really do at the moment, it's Summer, there are no games and we haven't signed anyone yet.

It annoys me more in season when they get a bit trigger happy with insisting and admitting. "Douglas admits he prefers winning to losing" and the like.

There's no option for 'all of the above'...that really pisses me off.

My only crtiticism of the adver would be if they print a story with a quote such as "we could announce the player later today" they very rarely follow up the story with some simple journalism to find out why nothing happened.
Im more than happy to wait for news but The Adver have a nasty habit of rubbing up fans the wrong way with some of their stories, it's almost as if they look for a reaction from fans they can use as a story.

The thing I don't like is that their "exclusives" are never exclusives. They always seem to be 4 or 5 hours behind.

non stories on the back page of the Adver are still all publicity for the club. The fans would moan a lot more if the Adver ignored STFC.

Bit like when BBC Swindon couldnt even give STFC 30 minutes for a press conference when Di Canio signed.

...and a few years back people complained about the BBC coverage. Then they lost the rights to that tinpot station and oh-how-we-rejoiced (sort of) when they got it back :)

The adver probably sell papers for their coverage of stfc matters, I expect there is an awful lot of people that read the back page before they read the front page and if there is no football news then they may not bother to buy the paper, so in a sense perhpas they need to have some football news however incidental.

It annoys me though they never bother to do any proper journalism almost stories for the sake if it repeating and re-gurgitating (sp ?) stories

Yeah that was pretty disgusting to take it out of context like that.

All we got was a big "fans cause trouble" along with a photo of 50 or so town fans at a match, including your truly. Underneath was a small "not these fans" bit :) I was telling people to mug off and jog on for at least a week.
