There was a spoof website years ago called the Evening Pist, fairly sure it was a City fan who ran it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interestingly David Sullivan tried to buy it in 1990; it might have remained a Bristol printed paper had he got hold of it and had a page 3 in true Bristols fashion. Instead it was bought by Trinity and they moved the print works to Didcot, of all places. Some owner that shambolic lot turned out to be frankly. Perhaps the rot set in way back in the 30's though when the two famous media moguls below decided to merge their two papers into one. Lord Rothermere, owner of the Bristol Evening World, and Baron Camrose, owner of the Bristol Times and Echo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see they've got another dreadful filler story about other 'famous' Bristol City strikers Diedhiou will join in to wearing the number 9.. including the likes of loanee Matt Smith. They've also, bizarrely, got another story about where Steve Cotterill ranks in the betting for the next Preston manager. Really is appalling, they'd be better off printing nothing at all about us than garbage filler like that. I hear some people even buy it.. 'Not so sure I believe it meself......

Bristol Rob Posted July 1, 2017 Report Share Posted July 1, 2017 Clearly it's being wound down from a print media format to a digital one. Unfortunately, they have left it 5 years too late to make that a worthwhile business model as social media can bring you live news immediately. The days of it carrying job adverts, used car adverts and estate agency are long gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cotham Brow Red Posted July 2, 2017 Report Share Posted July 2, 2017 Its a bit like the whole 118 directory services like Talking Pages 15 years back. A business model killed off by Google. Only 118 118 still left due to diversifying and the 70s runners campaign. Print local media companies like Localworld really need a reality check lest die soon.

Ska Junkie Posted July 3, 2017 Report Share Posted July 3, 2017 The BP has certainly become worse since AS left and the YTS lad they have to replace him, Connor something, could put anyone into coma as he comes across as soooo boring. As for his 'first day back' interview with LJ, I couldn't bloody hear the questions! Talk into the microphone FFS! AS for the FM17 stuff, is this supposed to be a paper or a kids comic?
