[Guppy 4 England]

Shame they dont apologise for sticking the boot in and constant lies and negative reporting.

What lies?... are these the lies rep was talking about?

[Phil]

Started this entire mess by lying about him. Do they expect people to believe he banned them for no reason? For every action there is a reaction.

What was the lie?

somebody needs to grow some b******s & sort it out

We've discussed this before.

 

The Sentinel provides the Vale with the best free paper media reporting, commentary and publicity, day in day out - and it's silly not to try and engender a positive relationship with it. It's a very useful PR vehicle and is read by many (if not everyone on here).

 

NS needs to think of the bigger picture as the ball is in his court. Sort it out before the season starts as a lot of folk pick up Vale news from the paper and its website, and it's providing the Club with some completely free publicity, especially at weekends and on Mondays after Saturday's game.

 

I don't know of any other football league club in the whole 92 who have banned their local paper. They realise the importance of the bigger picture and the invaluable work it does to support the club.

 

It might or might not have acted out of order but NS has the power to rise above it and get it sorted amicably before the big kick-off.

 

You know it makes sense.

What did they do?

 

About what??

 

So reveal what they said in their lies.

 

Please go into more detail, James.

 

What lies?

What was the lie?

 

Certain people seem very keen on constantly squealing that The Sentinel told lies but appear to be completely incapable of actually explaining what these supposed lies were.

As an aside, I had a meeting with the community department of a well known (non-league) football club yesterday and when I mentioned who I supported, the person I was meeting with said 'oh, I've heard all about your chairman' and actually started laughing. It's guff like this banning of the local press (and the resulting article in The Observer last time this happened) that can really show the club up. I repeat, Norman has done many many good things for the club but when he puts his foot in it, he doesn't do it by half.

But it's only part of the fact of what happened. Why not say what they did for this to happen?

Come on Sperm, what lies? Put up or shut up.

I've heard the same from a couple of directors of a club in our league, in slightly blunter language.

Good grief, another Smurf bashing thread

2013 Sentinel banned for reporting fan's had not received replicate shirts. Let me see, they hadn't. #Shirtwait. Next

It's not Smurf bashing. The man has banned the Sentinel big style, and it is a discussion of the wisdom and justification for that.

I was just informing sage that is has happened at bigger clubs than us if you read the whole article. Forest, Newcastle amongst others. Obviously you didn't read it. Never mind.
