Talk Sport - Jim White (ed. Page 21 - Grapevine destroys Roland)

unfortunately how many talk sport listeners care about the plight of little old charlton, when you can have stats and soggy biccy comps about man city beating far less superior teams.

Or Elvis the dog, who got turned away from Lowestoft Town last weekend

You're not serious. You mean Elvis didn't get into the game against Beccles Albion? Sad, indeed.

Also caught only the end of this on Jim White but the latest twist (if true) is that he said that staff are no longer allowed to have lunch at their desks as the cleaning staff have been dispensed with.
What next? Muddy boots not allowed back in the dressing room after a game? Cheap disposable boots only?

Yes that's been mentioned in several of the headline articles in the Mail and Evening Standard. The really crazy thing is that people normally eat at their desks to carry on with work through their lunch break. Forcing them to eat elsewhere (canteen?) will only mean that they will take their allotted hour (or whatever) and the club, in effect, loses out. Maybe LVT doesn't really get that as, in Europe, from my experience people tend to take their full lunch breaks, and often together, anyway...

You can make the same argument about any media. Most of the general population don't care. But that's not the point as the impact of any messaging is incremental.

A story like this gets picked by local tv, and if the story develops it can even go national.

You can see how the papers and local TV, radio have fed off each other this week.

Timing is good as we are in the silly season when it comes to media reports I.e. how much is that doggy in the window type news.

His Charlton phone is only on 1.5% of the day.

His Charlton phone sits in the corner under a glass cake dome.

I’d like to say that it was left inside the backside of someone during the human centipede experiment that I would like to do to a few people ,

however I couldn’t say that with out being threatening so I will only think that his phone is up his arse
