Question Echo and Official Site Match Report

[BryanDogg]

Hi SZers. As I understand it the Echo and Club don't have the best working relationship. Yet reading the match reports tonight on the official site and the echo site they read word for word.

Does the OS take their match report from the Echo or vice versa? Either way seems odd to me.

Just a trivial matter, but I'm curious none-the-less.

Cheers, UTB.

No, they don't, unless Dean from Media at the club has been given his cards. Chris Phillips doesn't usually do his match report as quick as it appeared on the OS, I will find out for you why this was.

..... and his are usually of a (slightly) better quality.

And have you noticed most articles that appear on the Echo website turn up on the OS a couple of hours later.

Dean has gone as I found out by chance the other day when asking what they required from me for this year's programme. Dave Scriven told me the programme is being outsourced and they wont need my help.

Bit peed off after 13 years of writing for the programme to be told like this but ho hum. And I did not get a testimonial!

Which columns did you write?

Thanks, Dave has passed them my details but don't hold out much hope.

 

[Hawkwell Blue]

Which columns did you write?

They were the "Memories From the Hart" and other similar titled ones, and last year I did the Roots Hall Memorable Match page too.

:( Such a shame, I enjoy reading those articles.

That's a shame, they were good reads. And a bigger shame that you had to find out that way.... (unfortunately typical of the club at the moment, even with a good result last night!)

Does this mean our programmes are going to feel even less like 'our own'?

My Dad has the same problem with his history of the 1920s season aka The Cricko years.

Ok, as Hawkwell Blue says Dean has left, the report on the OS is Chris' now although I don't know if what was posted originally was.

Write them for SZ instead!

Thanks OBL. Strange that the OS would use Echo material.

They can't afford me!

Dean was made redundant!

Isn't that what I said in a different vein?
