simmoram1995 Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 I wanted to ask you guys for your opinions on the local media and newspapers and whether you feel the club are ostracising them and avoiding communication and instead turning to Mel’s TalkSPORT pals? i have Steve Nicholson on Facebook and everything he posts is usually followed by a barrage of abuse a lot of it totally unwarranted?

angieram Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 Chris Coles from Radio Derby gave a good update a few weeks ago, when fans were asking for one. I don't think it's a deliberate snub, it's just that there's not much access for any journalists at the moment. Maybe the nationals are more persistent?

Kingpin Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 Local press is more or less irrelevant these days. Twitter/online will always get the news faster and first. RAM1966 and jimtastic56 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angieram Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 Might be an unpopular opinion, but Steve Nicholson also usually has something interesting to say after the press conferences, IF you can be bothered to wade through the rubbish in the other articles. It's about choosing the right ones and I sometimes get it wrong! Stuniverse, RoyMac5, Asanovic70 and 1 other 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's about choosing the right ones and I sometimes get it wrong! I bet Steve Nicholson can't wait to retire. He's a very good journo, unfortunately the paper he works for has joined the headlong rush for clickbait just to survive, and any good he can do is swamped by the rubbish his employer pushes out. He'd have been fantastic at The Athletic. That's not a slight on Ryan Conway either.

Bianoic Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 I think that Chris Coles is an absolute gem and Steve Nicholson comes across as a really nice fella who knows his stuff. Before Chris it was OB , who is absolutely brilliant and surely destined for big things ( if he wants them ) - a bit like Darren Ferguson who used to be on local radio and now heads up BT Sport commentary and presents on Radio Five Live So someone at RD and DT must be doing something right ! I think its a particularly tough time for newspaper journalists so they have my sympathy even though the DT website is pretty infuriating ! jono 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abu Derby Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 Steve Nicholson must despair of his employers. Derbyshire Live is akin to the old Sunday Sport - complete and utter dross. David Graham Brown and Derby4Me 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie George Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 (edited) I'd like to read Nicholson's book when he retires so the truth can be outed. There's quite clearly something wrong with the way the local reporters appear to be silent on DCFC matters. You'd even go as far as thinking the club had some kind of say on what they can say and what they CAN'T say. Other than Chris Coles breaking the news of the behind closed doors meeting,not one reporter has since questioned what was said there and pushed the matter further. The local boys should be all over this demanding answers. Every hour of every day. The fans would back them to the hilt. Perhaps Melvyn is wise enough to know he can't afford the backlash. Coward !

But if only it wasn't quite such a pain with all the pop-up adverts etc. TOO much is TOO much. So I don't read as many as I might, which is a shame.
