| Quote Fax were humiliated at the Halton Stadium in 2009, thrashed 42-16 in front of the Sky cameras at the end of July, just three weeks before a similar embarrassment against the Bulldogs'"
[urlhttp://www.halifaxcourier.co.uk/local/Halifax-RLFC--Fax-must.6148049.jp[/url
That game wasn't on Sky it was on a Friday night.  Is there a competition down at the courier where you have to try and make a mistake on as many articles in a row as possible or something? |

And a proof reader only checks for speling and grandma. Not accuracy of detail.

On many occasions the spelling/grammar has been awry. We should hold a 'spot the error' competition. First poster to recognise any of the 5-10 daily mistakes on here gets 1 point

Readers and Copy Holders do check for accuracy of content as well as spelling and grammar, although the Courier hasn't employed either for a number of years. It is now printed at Dinnington, near Sheffield. The Huddersfield Examiner now classes itself as a morning paper as it goes overnight, so no chance of any up-to-date local news in that.

Makes you wonder what they get paid for then doesn't it. I proof reader that can't spell, not correct the accuracy or grammar.
Next we'll have people running Banks who don't know anything about banking. Oh, hang on! |

While you mention it, what's the Courier now? Evening? Morning? Dinnertime? Brunch? I've been reading it online for years now but was surprised yesterday to see copies in my corner shop at 8.30 in the morning. |

| Last night's match report in todays Courier is accompanied by photo's from a match at the shay. They're oldish pictures too as Big Frank doesn't have his new hair style. It's basic journalism to have the correct pictures with the corresponding story right?   |

The photos accompanying the article which I've just read were taken at the Stobart. The seats are black and you can see part of word Vikings made out in the seats. But what on earth are those green stains on the front of the Widnes players' shorts?

Actually, even though it was me starting this thread (which Mr Roberts probably didnt know it was me, sure to get a stern text message now  ) there is a very good reason for this. The deadline for articles and photos for local newspapers (for halifax and york that i know of at least) has been shifted to what would be half time of night time games. My dad (whosgottheball) was the only photographer present at the game last night but we don't have an internet dongle so couldnt email the photos pitchside during the game. We were in communication all day about this with Mr.Roberts and in the end it was decided that they'll stick a stock photo with this match report for now, however expect to see some photos from the Widnes game in the weekly articles 
edit: indeed the latest article online now has them, though i presume you meant the hard copy had an old photo www.halifaxcourier.co.uk/local/W ... 6165586.jp |
