I guess he was just a little grumpy having been spectacularly wrong where NSC was right about a few transfers recently.

Has Naylor declared war on NSC?

Spot on. In a newspaper sense it was actually a good piece of work by Mr Naylor. He's generated reaction (measured and hysterical) got hits on his company's website, and maybe even sold a few extra copies. Job done.After reading this whole thread, this is the comment that sums it up for me. Yes it was lazy journalism, said nothing of note, deliberately left out names (i.e. NSC) so that he could hide behind the 'Argus comments' defence and he doesn't speak for the club or the fans. Arguing with nothing there.
But above all, he's got EXACTLY the reaction he (and the circulation/web visitor monitoring) 'bosses' would have wanted and may have been designed to achieve. Or not - the main thing was to fill those column inches. However, they probably thought there was a likelihood of a reaction, and lo and behold there was - so much so that they were able to fill even more column inches with a story about NSC closing down.
It's actually a pretty simple piece of work - and clever ONLY in the respect of generating more reader traffic. I doubt he gives a flying toss what we actually think - or the effect on NSC posters of what he says. If he does it goes no further than that day's column. Those 'who, me?' tweets about the Argus comments should tell you all you need to know - he knew that was coming. Our reaction probably only confirms everything he thinks about NSC anyway.
I visited the Argus website, Tweeted and Facebooked about this so I'm as much of a mug as anyone. But should I read anything similarly provocative from him in future I'll do the one thing he doesn't want - and not react on here. Anybody else willing to grit their teeth and bite their tongue*?
*may not be possible at the same time

I thought NSC had gone for good. Naive maybe, bui I will not buy the Argus all the while he is in their payroll.

He is not a bad journalist though maybe a bit passive but these are careless comments and need to be challenged. He has said before he is no fan of NSC but he will hate us now

Not quite Hackgate this, is it, but still Naylor has ruffled my feathers with his general idiocy. Why hang around all day on something you don't like the feel of? If he doesn't like it and sometimes feels offended by people guffawing at his ill-wittered ways, then don't keep coming back staring at people's thoughts. The man's a masochist. Or just bored and having to seem like he has something to say on quiet news weeks.
If he's that bored maybe he'd like some prostitutes or pizza's turning up at his villa in Portugal??

Yes a RAMP up event designed to test out the stadium and iron out the flaws that come up. People have every right to say when things didn;t quite work, that's the point of the exercise.
Some of the moans are ridiculous and stupid, but they are immediately pointed out as such by the rest of the NSC world, that's how it works. Unless you're Naylor, then you write in the paper about it and make ridiculous generalisations and stupid statements.

But there wasn't any moaning! Or only about 1% of the posts could be classed as 'moans'.

If it's quality local reporting you're after, one could do worse than reading this chap. Remember him...?

I am quite relieved that Andy Naylor has confirmed he was actually referring to readers of The Argus when writing about morons
Phew! So, to clarify, "readers of The Argus are morons" admits Andy Naylor

If you're suggesting Naylor's ambition is to be banged up in gaol and be found dead in a Paris hotel afer being ostracised out of the country, well....
Having said that I did look at the "Argus" site, from the link on here. This morning though, I was IN mourning...

strong and stable with me, or...
Naylor hasn't said anything that isn't true, there has been some utterly ridiculous moaning on these boards often regarding things that haven't even happened yet. From the CD case style card holder, to travel vouchers, to memorial slabs, to the name of the supporters bar, there seems to be nothing that people wouldn't want to moan about. It is at times frankly depressing, and I feel for anyone working hard at the club reading some of the posts with rhetoric like 'shambolic' 'disgraceful' etc. etc.
In defence of the boards though, the majority are positive, constructive and enthusiastic and won't let a few teething issues get them down, however like anything in life, the noisy minority tend to make their voice heard louder than the rest, even if it is just 1% of posts, they generate more responses keeping what appear to be negative threads at the top of the boards.

Having read this thread it is pure comedy genius. The amount of 'morons' who don't seem to be able to differentiate between constructive criticism and people ranting about minor problems that will, as far as possible, be ironed out as part of the ramp up events.
The selective reading of an article that probably took less than 5 minute to right is also classic. Ignoring the comments about the majority being level headed etc, people seem only to read that the minority is in fact everyone who posts on NSC. There are plenty on here with whom I don't agree but that doesn't make them morons. There are however a few who rant at the slightest hiccup. They are the sort of people that sound their horn when stuck in traffic whilst emergency services frantically try to save the life of someone trapped in a wrecked car.
Fact of the matter is that if you have an issue then take it up with the club constructively rather than lose your rag and rant and rave at someone. Someone has already posted that the club have responded to a number of issues and are probably working on resolving many more. In all likelihood, all issues will not be resolved until a few weeks into the season but anyone who expected everything to be perfect from day one falls into the category that Naylor has aimed his article at.

"Quite right, Monsieur Poirot. It would have been the perfect crime were it not for the single flaw of telling everyone on a message board about it beforehand."
