Dave Benson Phillips Posted 2 August, 2010 Share Posted 2 August, 2010 Seems like the Echo are still banned from the ground judging by their 'report' in todays Echo. All a bit childish really isn't it? Many people rely on the Echo for their Saints related news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

South City Si Posted 2 August, 2010 Share Posted 2 August, 2010 Does seem extremely petty now. Sad that they banned them then let them back, then have banned them again this season again! Would be good if NC actually told them why! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Benson Phillips Posted 2 August, 2010 Author Share Posted 2 August, 2010 Wow, another a dig at Cortese. Thats a surprise. Just an observation, people had been speculating on whether they would be banned or not, now we have an answer, they have. I didn't even mention his name. It is extremely petty to STILL be banning the Echo when alot of Saints fans, especially the older generation, rely on the Echo print for their Saints-related news.

jam Posted 2 August, 2010 Share Posted 2 August, 2010 I'd be surprised if they are banned as there were massive Daily Echo banners on the walls of the disabled areas on the Kingsland in the second half of last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say they most definately ARE banned this season. The 'pictures' from the report are from away pre-season friendly games this season and not from the game itself.

Alot of people still are not computer literate and/or don't have access to the internet and rely on the print version. Do you not understand that? Anyway, that's not the issue, the childishness and pettyness is.

John B Posted 2 August, 2010 Share Posted 2 August, 2010 Does anyone care that much? I don't.

The Echo goes ahead and prints Saints news anyway, it just doesnt get anything in advance or any exclusives. It just copies it from the official site, TV and radio reports or from here. So the computer illiterate and old codgers get it 24 hrs later. So what ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't agree with that at all. Who broke the story of Dickson signing for us weeks before he signed?

docker-p Posted 2 August, 2010 Share Posted 2 August, 2010 What kind of idiot relies on the Echo for Saints related news? It is nothing more than speculation. 90% of news whether it's from the Echo, BBC, ITN etc etc is informed speculation surrounding know facts. The Echo by-and-large does a good job.

Dave Benson Phillips Posted 2 August, 2010 Author Share Posted 2 August, 2010 (edited) it was posted on here was it not that the echo had printed something, on more than 1 occasion that NC (or someone at the club) had asked them to delay on, they ignored that request, and despite more warnings carried on. ONCE they printed a story 24 hours earlier than requested to, even though Radio Solent had already ran the story and it was common knowledge on here as well as available in the public domain. I don't think that warrants being banned from all things SFC. Some of you seem to think the Echo relies on SFC to sell newspapers. If this is the case, it will cost people in the community their jobs in the long-run. But I suppose that's alright though isn't it.

merrimd Posted 2 August, 2010 Share Posted 2 August, 2010 Many people rely on the Echo for their Saints related news. There are currently 4 news items on the Daily Echo website about the game on saturday. I am sure that if you rely on the Echo for all things Saints, the 'ban' (if it actually exists) is not having much of an impact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The subject is the Daily Echo. Rather amusing how some people constantly whinge how "every thread turns into a NC bashing thread", and yet it's actually them that are doing so.

JustMike Posted 2 August, 2010 Share Posted 2 August, 2010 Just a thought, but if all this echo banning stuff were actually true, surely the echo would print something along those lines?

Not because they want to keep fans informed as much as possible, but because they want to limit the amount of communication with supporters to the bare minimum. In my opinion, of course.
