Why those two? Why not the next four? In fact haven't the previous seventeen matches already determined already that the season is going to be a battle against relegation? And as if to rub it in that they'll print anything Celtic related, almost half the article is taken up with the playing history of the clubs latest jouneyman signing who appears to have nine clubs in six years. Something which I doubt would pique the interest of even the most committed Bower Fold fan.
Not that there's that many of them about nowadays judging by the crowd of just over 170 they got for their midweek Cheshire Senior Cup game against Witton Albion, and that's including the sizeable contingent brought by the visitors. Surely that's more newsworthy? In fact if you want a huge back page story for next week why not write an article explaining why The Reporter gives so much coverage to a side that isn't even the best supported team in the borough. There are 100's of people who'd love to read that one.
Still, at least they managed to dig up a rarely seen picture of the Celtic manager to accompany the story so this will be added to the Fantasy Photo League. As will the image of Garry Kharas that sits atop the Ashton United - Gateshead report (something that wouldn't have been there had he not had his mug shot taken whilst at... that's right, Stalybridge).
Whilst we're on the subject, here's a run down of the totals so far since 26-10-2006:
As for the Advertiser, we've made the back page once again. This time it's about the signing of Fraser Robinson though it does take second place to a story regarding Steve Waywell's attempts to sign an, as of yet, unnamed midfielder; someone who the paper have dubbed in the headline as the 'Missing Link'. And there's me thinking Greg Challender had gone to Buxton.
Till next week.
