Sports argus

I miss this paper, used to love reading it on a saturaday evening.

I want it to be brought back

I did think at the time "they'd sell loads of these if the Albion were doing well".

 

[Mr Banana]

I was meant to start working on it the week it closed

Bring back Saturday evenings getting dubious results rung in on the world's wonkiest phonelines

They used to print a Sports paper to buy as you left Maine Rd could not the same be done at The Amex, most people bought one and I think would if they did it at The Amex.

They print it in Southampton so it would be a bit tricky.

Did anyone get West Sussex Gazette back in the day? Regular colour coverage of the Albion decades before the Argus.

Could they not put a printing press in The Amex?. I am reasonably sure the one at Maine Rd was in the back of a large lorry/caravan or other mobile site.

It was great, but I only bought it when we won

Problem is newspapers are yesterday's media. No point in investing in something that will be nondescript in 5 years time. The online reports are available within minutes of the final whistle

This, as soon as a game finishes at the Amex I'm on my phone within seconds of final whistle to check the scores & tables on the sky sports app

For Saturday 3pm kick-offs at Withdean, used to always nip out from the Brewery Tap about 6pm for a Sports Argus from the newsagents down the road. Was always a quality read. I think the Argus is missing a trick here. Reckon they could shift a fair number after games at the Amex, and at Brighton station on the Saturday and probably a decent number around town on the Sunday also.

 

[Carrot Cruncher]

Bearing in mind that 'The Football Paper' is harder to find in Brighton than rocking-horse shit, I would suggest there is definitely a market for it, but as [MENTION=588]8ace[/MENTION] has pointed out, the fact the Argus is printed in Southampton would curtail its Saturday night availability.

Shame, as I'd love to see it back.

I was about to post a similar thread, following from the one on the Football League Newspaper. I remember getting it each Sunday for years way back when (not that long ago to be honest). I liked the stats page and the grassroots park football pages, but then the price went up to 60p and we were on a poor run of form, so I stopped getting it, and then it just disappeared
