How many bother looking in on the echo. i had a brief look this morning and it was brief, its become a joke.
Gave up years ago. This new format of saying something sensational in the headline, then giving you six paragraphs of drivel, then repeating the sensational headline without much meat on the body does my head in
I really hate the "76 superb photos of Sunderland supporters" at various matches. They're all candid pics where people are mid conversation, blinking, looking at their phone, eating etc. All the pictures are unflattering and catch people looking their worst. I find it creepy and weird. I've been captured while I was biting a sarnie and I looked like a hamster.
Sums it up when midweek games are not covered the next day due to the paper being printed in Sheffield , when it was printed at the end of the Wearmouth bridge you used to get the day’s results in the latest news on your way back from the match - what a difference considering the amount technology has moved on . I had the Echo for years before becoming frustrated in no local news , I have just packed in the Sunday Sun for the same reason it was excellent for local football coverage and in the summer cricket where you got the scorecards for all the local teams , now the coverage is very poor .
Local papers used to be worth a read. Echo, Gazette or even the Journal or Chronic! Now they are absolute trash. The only one (online) that has the odd decent article is the Northern Echo.
Local cricket scorecards can be seen via the play-cricket app. All results need to be on in full by Sunday evening I think.
Didn't think it was still going. My Dad and Uncle were avid readers of it, if it wasn't there when they both came home from work respectively, they were at a loss until Look Newcastle came on. They both just don't bother these days. Ran by a Mag and printed in Sheffield.
