Just wondering if there is any chance of the CT's headline on Monday being ....

'Bad day for the city's sporting teams and Wasps also lost.'

Funny you say that, this is what happens when you try to read about the Royal Visit today.

Looks just a bit desperate.

Surely they have just paid for that ?

How many people actually read that page anyway ?

I’m not sure Nick understands how advertising works.

No I do, that's why I made the point about it looking a bit desperate.

The thing about good advertising is that it needs to be subtle. Subtle and mild. Mild, like that first splash of sun on an April morning. Yes, Tweek Bros. Coffee is coffee the way it should be.

Honestly not sure what is desperate about getting your brand out there as much as possible.

Would you be saying the same if CCFC was slapping it's name everywhere...somehow I think not.

The logo takes up the whole page on a large screen monitor, there is no call to action and it seems it's just had the first Wasps logo from google images plastered on there so it looks desperate.

It also means as they seem to want to get money from Wasps to sponsor things as low down as live blogs, they aren't going to want to piss them off in their reporting

Speaking of desperate and never related to the actual subjects.

They can do what like like for all I care. Call it the wasps telegraph and print it in black and yellow. Wouldn’t make me read it anymore or less.

It’s a poor paper with very little of interest in it, even for someone like me who still likes to read every day about what i happening in my boyhood city.

Surely an opportunity for les Reid et al to step up ?

Nick · Jan 16, 2018

There's a gap in the market, but it then comes down to paying the wages.

I would happily subscribe and pay a tenner a month to a decent news outlet, the same as I do with Sky Blues Player for the videos etc.

The Nuneaton gang attack story.

skyblueinBaku · Mar 16, 2018

"A gang of sex men"?

Captain Dart · Mar 16, 2018

Spell checks OK, What's the issue?

Otis · Mar 16, 2018

All well and good if it was up to sex men, but the article was actually up to six men.

Men up to sex gang. Nice. I wonder if the gang have a secret handshake.

They’re now copying and pasting Crewe’s official site match report & using Crewe fans tweets to produce an article

As they were at 6 o'clock and 7 o'clock if you had bothered to get up.

About moving into the digital age and lost reveue from advertising, with footage from a bygone age

Yeah as part of the demise of local papers .
The editor came out with a classic 'we have more readers now' and my Journos are as adept at facebook as they are writing 400 words.

Nick · Mar 19, 2018

Ah, clickbait in other words.

wingy · Mar 19, 2018

600 jobs in olden days.

Personally I hate the CT's use of headlines like "This player has played his last game for Coventry City" but you have to click into the article to find out who they're talking about*.....why not do the headline as "Jordan McGuire-Drew set to leave Coventry City due to injury", just as they would in the print edition? Oh, wait, they're obsessed with clicks. I purposely do not click on such articles now.

I know it's far from being just the CT who do this, but they are particular shockers for it!

* Yes I know the article headline was accompanied by a picture of JMD but in many cases that wouldn't be the case, it'd be a close-up of MR or the fans or something...

I was up but somehow didn't clock it till I posted .
Probably because I was Channel hopping to see how Susan was this morning.
Besides that BBC breakfast is getting bloody predictable, repetitive and boring.
