A Horse With No Name Posted February 3, 2020 Report Share Posted February 3, 2020 Has anyone read todays Bristol Post online and the article about Ashton Court and its views of Ashton Gate being the worst place in Bristol, and giving 10 reasons why visitors should stay away, including the view of the stadium, and " why anyone would want to see that is beyond us" This has to be a wind up surely?

Port Said Red Posted February 3, 2020 Report Share Posted February 3, 2020 A couple of years back they gave that eccentric woman up on York Place a centre spread to moan about how the ground “spoiled her view” of Dundry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dredd Posted February 3, 2020 Report Share Posted February 3, 2020 The papers a joke now. Any semblance of journalism replaced with click bait articles to drive advertising sales. It might keep the paper afloat but it doesn’t feel like a proper local paper anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The decline in local journalism and media coverage goes hand in hand with a decline in local democracy. It’s hard to find out what’s really going on and whose responsibility it was, so many people don’t bother, while local “papers” struggle to survive on dwindling advertising revenue, so revert to click bait. This is one of the considerable downsides and adverse effects of the internet, and partly explains people’s frustration at things happening to them over which they feel they have little or no control. By comparison to other local news and politics, although we might moan about the quality of local sports coverage in the Post, at least we get something, based mainly on those running it knowing there is more interest in City particularly, and pretty much the only other source being the club itself, with the BBC mainly sticking to broadcasting the matches rather than anything more in depth, as at a national level only the Premier League seems to count. Why else is the EFL on Quest, other than the big TV companies don’t really give a **** about anything other than the “top clubs”? ITV has given up on club football almost completely, and only shows England international games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
