Ram@Lincoln Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 After 37 years service, Steve Nicholson finishes his reporting of Derby. No matter what you think of his articles now during the click bait world of the Derby Live website, he's been an absolutely outstanding linchpin to Derby media over the years. Before the social media world he, along with RD, were the number one source for all things Derby. I wish Steve all the best with whatever he does now, wherever it's retirement or somewhere new without the pressures of clickbait and online adverts. Thank you for all your hard work over 37 years Steve! https://www.derbytelegraph.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/steve-nicholson-derby-county-telegraph-7075231?1= Carnero, BucksRam, Alph and 41 others 16 27 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NimonicRam Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 I quite agree. Back in the day if you saw Steve Nicholson or Gerald Mortimers name on something you treated it as gospel. ?

roboto Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 I'm sure this has been on the cards for a while. I haven't spoken to him in years (since I stopped living in Derby probably), but I remember him and Gerald from my days doing some interning and summer work around the old DET building. Always very friendly and had a great team of sports reporters around him back in the day. It's a shame that the local press isn't what it used to be due to things like budget cuts, the shifting of how we consume media and the toxic nature of how people demand to know information as soon as it happens instead of wanting some investigation and fact-checking to happen so we can be served up a well-rounded and informative piece of information. All the best to him on whatever he does next. Hopefully enjoying some time out away from all the craziness of DCFC and social media!

Mostyn6 Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 very much a victim of the Reach Group swallowing up local rags. Derby4Me, Abu Derby, Fullspizz and 3 others 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramarena Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 Good luck to him. Despite the pelters he gets these days, he’s a good journalist. He’s sadly been hamstrung by the situation around him. Personally I wouldn’t have stuck it out as long as him, but fair play to him for trying to make the most of the thing he enjoys.

Abu Derby Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 Working for that Reach rag must have been the catalyst for his decision. I mean, it’s cringeworthy, repetitive junk dressed as news. Imagine working for a company like that. All the best Steve, you have done yourself proud and will be a very hard act to follow, as Gerald was. You did it though.

JuanFloEvraTheCocu'sNesta Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 (edited) A good man working for what has become a useless rag. The DET's drive to chase digital revenue stripped it bare of any journalistic integrity in favour of retweets, clickbait and a frankly unreadable website format. All the best to Steve. He deserves a break. Edited May 14, 2022 by JuanFloEvraTheCocu'sNesta Kathcairns, Abu Derby, The Scarlet Pimpernel and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TuffLuff Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 Really like Steve, hes a proper football man which is starting to become quite rare. Any tribute you could pay him doesn’t compare from the messages he got on Twitter, reading them gives you a sense of a very well liked and respected journalist. Also makes me think that whenever I’ve heard a sky commentator give a good Derby County fact that it’s probably by Nicho passing them around the press box pre game. Ive said before but with the right host he’d make an excellent football podcast. Regardless of what’s next good luck in your next venture Nicho, Derby County will miss you Kathcairns and RoyMac5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
