I enjoyed his match reports in the CET, old school journalist who knew how to use the written word to good effect. Did he retire, quit or get made redundant anyone know?

He went, he was there for a bit for the odd article and would appear here and there but no idea of the circumstance.

I just said that out loud half laughing and my wife just slapped me.

Apparently I sounded like a dribbling neanderthal for a moment.

Sorry this is the best I can think of on the spur of the moment.................he's gone to an undisclosed seaside location with his friend Mr Black.

Again, sorry....

Alan has retired- done work experience for the CT over last few summers and he's been planning it for some time.

Any idea what he's actually up to now, notwithstanding the "humorous" suggestions above?

I heard he was dipping his toe into something rather different to journalism.

The answer is in the question.
The content writers that the CT use today get their stories from Group HQ. You do not need a journalist to do that.

5 reasons why ********** is the best place in the UK to live.

Good thread, I've been wondering what happened to him myself.
I enjoyed the Alan and Andy chats around the table at the canal basin. It was the one good thing on the CT site.
Those current solo Andy videos are just embarrassing. Talk about cut-rate!
He's holding the camera himself at the wrong angle, the lighting is awful and he always looks like he just got out of bed after a poor night's sleep.
They are as bad as it gets. And way to many Um's and Ah's for a professional speaker.
