New gazette journo

[Shiggy]

Haven’t heard anything about any replacement for Matt Scrafton?

 

[Southend tangerine]

I said in here when he left that he might not be replaced

Does the Gazette still do match reports on midweek games? I ask because I was told Johnston Press (I think the owners or whoever they were) had the print copy cut time brought forward to 7pm and wouldn't alter it.

 

[Insider]

Dan Black appears to be covering BFC currently.

 

[Pool CW]

Get Canavan back

 

[XBeds-Now-Kings_Meaburn]

Get Canavan back

He'd get lost en-route

Have they job swapped because he used to do Burnley

 

[fcblackpool]

Thinks they're owned by the same company. Probably a temporary redeployment.

 

[Insider]

Don't know but I think Dan is an Editor/sub editor so maybe not.

 

[Southend tangerine]

Dan Black is head of sport for the North West region

 

[Hockaday’s Quiff]

Have they job swapped because he used to do Burnley

And Scrafton is now covering them

So I understand….

Dan Black is the regional sports guy who is probably doing the BFC beat on his lunch hour

People moaning about signings are in for a shock when they find out how long it takes to appoint someone to a job in the real world!

What about paulco. Must be favourite.

 

[McG_BFC]

Never thought I'd say it but am missing Scrafters - radio silence is even worse without his updates.

Me too, I asked him twice after he'd left who would be his replacement but got no reply, perhaps he didn't know or care. You would have thought the local paper would have someone in post by now.

How would he have anything to do with picking his replacement

Gazette owners are slashing yet more jobs, so you might want to get used to the level of coverage you’re getting … if not worse

No I didn't mean him having anything to do with picking his replacement, I just asked if he knew who would replace him covering Blackpool. Scrafton used to run a matchday blog on twitter for every game and it was something I followed almost every game, his updates were usually quicker than the official club twitter account.
If The Gazette are cutting back you might well be right about getting used to less coverage.

Whoever it is, just seems to put out the same stories day after day, just with the words in a slightly different order.
Today's offering is Albie Morgan (again).

 

[pierrehead]

I get the Gazette daily and this week they are supposed to be revamping the whole paper.
It gives a list of all the editorial staff and one called "Sports Content Editor" by the name of Peter Storey.

A likely Storey

God forbid, but maybe when the Cods have to cut back on staff and sack Will Watt, he'll be back at the Gazette

 

[Gerry Ingrams Blonde Hair]

Phil McEntee?

 

[Willie Mcgrotty]

I'll respect the journalistic skills of an ex Arsenal double winner willing to move up norf

 

[voyeur]

Sounds like there may be a reduced coverage but the football club is a key part of the Gazette's offering so they'll have something in place for the season start I'm sure. Re-jig by the sound of it. Cost cutting no doubt.

 

[69yearsafan]

Cliff Greenwood ?

Pete Storey is an old Lancashire Evening Post hand, I think.

Didn't he get sent down for counterfeiting sovereigns and running a brothel?

 

[1953]

That's another Storey

 

[Wee_Bob]

I reckon Will be running the place whilst Pilley has porridge.
