    Reach are closing most of their offices, but surprisingly, not the HDM...

    One of the UK’s leading news publishers is calling time on the traditional newspaper office, with the owner of the Daily Mirror set to tell the vast majority of its journalists that they will permanently work from home in future.

    Reach, which also owns the Daily Express, Daily Star and hundreds of regional newspapers around the UK and Ireland, will inform three-quarters of its staff on Friday morning that they will no longer be expected to come to the office full-time. Dozens of mid-sized towns will lose their remaining newspaper office, with staff having to commute to the nearest major city if they want to work at a company desk.

    The company will instead maintain hub offices filled with meeting rooms in Belfast, Bristol, Birmingham, Dublin, Cardiff, Glasgow, Newcastle, Hull, Leeds, Liverpool, London, Manchester, Nottingham and Plymouth. This means journalists working on the group’s local titles in East Anglia will have to head to the London HQ if they want to use their nearest office.

    Are you mistaking Nottingham with Leicester?
    Hull's boundary should be expanded to take in the likes of Bilton, Cottingham, Hedon, and Hessle.

    When the thrill seeking 'crowds' return they'll still be outnumbered by the cardboard cutouts.

    Few, if any sports can rival rugby league for entertainment. The greatest show on earth proves that time and again, but resting on the laurels of that belief is foolhardy and financial solidity through a TV deal and the correct structure at clubs must be the priority before the game can grow.

    and we have some in here who deny the hdm is biased towards drugby.

    I'd been told by family that they played today, so typed 'rugby results' in to google. I think I've been lied to, as there was no mention of the galacticos from Hull on the first three pages...possibly more as I'd lost all interest by then. :emoticon-0102-bigsm

    They closed it down years ago. It's not even a bingo hall now.

    I assume this is backed up by fact. Surely it must be the #1 supported sport in the world if its the best entertainment, os somewhere close. Is it ****. Is it even in the top 10 sports in the world?

    It then follows up by saying that sponsorship is crucial to avoid losing viewers to other sports. That handball is a real threat to them.

    They have peddled this rubbish for as long as I can remember. However the local rag totally missed the announcement a couple of years ago when rugby league was de- classified and now ranks alongside table tennis (or ping pong) pigeon racing, clay pigeon shooting and badger baiting. This has something to do with funding reflecting on popularity and actual people playing the sport.
    They don't even play it on the South Bank of the Humber FFS, but according to the media around here it is the best entertainment in the world. Obviously some people's jobs depend on it and unbelievably some people like it, which they are entitled too of course.
    But the most annoying part of all of this is that the same local publication never misses an opportunity to stick the boot in for football, as for the local radio, I did tune in for a bit today and yet again as in all the time RL has been broadcast on RH there has never been a bad game, every one is a classic and the commentators are always breathless with excitement, the total opposite to Burns and Swann, Mike White and a million miles away from the riveting commentaries of that boring twat who commentates on Grimsby .

    His eloquent use of the mother tongue epitomises rugby league.

    Mind, it was only a stepping stone for bigger things in sport.
