well, at least there's a consensus on this one!
It's definitely not the Indy, apart from a report on the DirtyLeeds game, there was half a column on the Championship!!

Used to be News of the World. Sunday Mirror was always a poor second. Now it doesn't even have to try anymore. Thinking of giving 'em up altogether, or wait til some suit throws his Telegraph Sports Section on the floor of the train on a Monday morning (ever notice how they ALL do that?)

Tabloids are good if you like proliferate coverage and speculation.
I don't think the Guardian are bad, and they seem more interested in the Albion and our regeneration than some, though I expect this is a story that will run for a while and may appear as a feature in other Sundays and Dailys.
I'd say the Football League Paper is a good bet! I like the Times on monday as well.
Depending on my mood, I enjoy all styles of paper, though sometimes the quality of journalism and thought in a broadsheet type paper can be far more rewarding than a tabloid.
Buy the Mail / Express if you like exceedingly thorough and not badly written items of total speculation (protip: it'll have a question mark in the headline). It's what they do.

Funny little bit on Guardian website:
The Championship is going south. Well, two of the three clubs sharing the lead are from that end of the country, at least. David Connolly scored his second goal of the season in Southampton's 1-0 win at Barnsley, while fellow promoted side Brighton won by the same margin at Portsmouth – the club-record signing, Craig Mackail-Smith, scored the winner, though Portsmouth's Liam Lawrence did hit the post with a penalty in injury time. Saints are top by virtue of goal difference, though Nigel Adkins has yet to challenge anyone to "keep up" with them.

The FLP comes out on tuesdays doesn't it?
The NOTW was the best by a country mile. Don't buy one now. The Star, Telegraph, Mail, Express and Mirror are shocking.
Now I just wait until the Game in the Times on a monday.

i dont tend to read the sundays, but my observations are that the mirror/sun will usually cover everything well, the Times/Telegraph/Guardian tend to have the better analysis of details and better quality diagrams, Mail/Express are plain average.

Couldn't be more wrong
On 1st game of season, they attended two games in the whole football league, due to journalist dispute
We still only got a 30 word summary, other game got 500

The People had quite a lengthy article on our game. The Mail on Sunday had virtually nothing!

None of the broadsheets seem to give much space over to football outside of the Premier League and European competition, aside from weekends when there's no Premier League action.

Our game will always be covered in several paragraphs in the mirror/mail/other tabloids - but what is the point? Its nothing more than a catchy headline and a brief blow-by-blow account of the 2 or 3 main talking points - which you can just as easily glean by reading a match report online, or actually going to the game.
By contrast the broadsheets won't cover us in detail very often, once a month perhaps, but when they do there will be context and insight - and you'll learn something new

The Observer carries a couple of championship reports and reasonable round up. The Sunday Times had bugger all in it, very surprising.

Mail On Sunday is well in front which is backed up by the fact that it the best selling paper by far.
