Yes AFKA!Real shame it was only a few years back they were all over us! really informative and all that!seem to remember them even commenting on how many away fans we use to take or was that the Mecury mate? The rag seems more interested these days on telling us what poor sod has been mugged or how much property is,just goes to show what a sad society we live in these days!
Wow, Orpington is now firmly on the map!! Thanks Tavern - I'll have to find where they live and go and brow beat them into writing decent reports on CAFC and forgetting about Palarse and Millwall.
Strange paper. Wouldn't reply to any of my messages over the last year and suddenly did a piece on the Supporters' Director which was a cut and paste from other, much older, articles.
As Henry says, it's a very odd paper indeed, and owned by an American group that pays its staff peanuts, even by local paper standards. It's also madly over-stretched by publishing so many editions - it stretches from New Cross to beyond Swanley - when it should really stick to its Orpington/Bromley/Sidcup heartland.
It's probably decided it can't afford to run football stuff (their deadline must be Monday at the very latest so weekend stuff is tough for them), or perhaps CAFC has just stopped sending it press releases.
I wouldn't wipe my arse with a copy either, but then it hasn't been delievered to my place in years.
I wiped my arse with some leaves in Castle Woods one Halloween when I got caught short after having 9 pints of Directors in The Red Lion Shooters Hill.
Couldn't find a News Shopper anywhere.
I've noticed this in recent weeks. Used to have at least 3 pages of sports stuff but now it's just 1 page with links saying 'go to our website to find out more'. As AFKA said the KM and Bexley times are much better and they have weekly columns from Henry in one, Rick Everitt in the other plus Ambrose does a column in one. Good coverage of Welling plus the Kent league in both papers as well.

Has been well and truely trumpted by the KM and Bexley Times in recent years.
Had dealings with them over a story a few years ago that put a client in danger.

Good Sushi takeaway in Petts Wood...
