As jamie findlater leaves and is replaced it appears the new guy will share his GTFC coverage with that of covering sheffield wednesday and Harrogate.
Looks like the GET will not be the place to go in the future for any coverage. Maybe this is reflected in the fact that aside from the May story it hasn't really been the place for some time.

The telegraph has been pap since they moved out of Grimsby , the journalists aren’t local and don’t really seem in tune with the way Grimsby folk think either . To be fair to them I doubt there’s many actually buy it anymore in a digital age

The Telegraph’s an absolute rag and there’s nothing you get in there that isn’t covered in the stuff put out by Humberside or the Club itself.
You get 1 interview cut into 7 or 8 clickbait pieces through the week, then a standard match report. Not sure you’re going to miss a great deal.
Good work by Findlater on the Alex May stuff, but that’s been the only worthwhile thing to come out of that load of junk for years and years.

Do people still pay for this paper? Used to get the Saturday Telegraph sent to me years back, had all the sport reports in that as well as an assessment report on Grimsby and Scunthorpe. In the days before teletext, was the only source of the football scores after an afternoon stood in the Pontoon!

The only time I ever bought that rag was when they had vouchers for cheap entry to BP. Normally about half way through the season. When yet again moral was low so JF was struggling to get fans in.
I get the feeling I won’t be buying one any time soon 😀

FYI: proofreader not proof reader. There's an unnecessary space between needed and exclamation mark Another unnecessary space between abound and exclamation mark. Second exclamation unnecessary. You're welcome.

It’s a sad fact of the modern day that local news is no longer local.. our rag is filled with generic national tripe that is rolled out throughout the Reach Group, you may as well be reading the mirror. God help anyone who happens to trawl through the online version, inundated with bingo and lottery ads. As a local sports fan the Grimsby Evening Telegraph was a paper that represented every person in this town and was the go to place for news on obviously town but also the amateur and junior leagues, rugby Union , market rasen races etc. Today nothing , it’s like clee town don’t exist to them.
It amazes me how the paper can generate 3 days worth of reports out of one hurst interview.
If only the cleethorpes chronicle was still going

It's gone completely downhill since it became part of the Mirror Group. It's full of misleading sensationalist headlines, frequent spelling mistakes, very poor grammar and virtually non-existent proof reading. In fact very much like The Daily Mirror.
