Leicester Mercury

Post by Mo Leicester »

Does anyone know why there has been no reporting on the Tigers on the Mercury website since 23 April?

Presumably a number of their staff are on furlough and it's easier just to report on football rumours than it is anything else.

The actual paper still has plenty of reports though sometimes the report has been taken straight from Tigers’ website. They do tell you when this is the case. Presumably it is just easier not to update the online Mercury as there hasn’t, until now, been much to report on!!!!
Ian Cockerill does a couple of pieces a week in the paper and has so far kept us up to date with what’s happening at Tigers and rugby in general.

I remember the days when Martin Johnson (no, not that one!) wrote for the Mercury - very well I always thought.

Apologies for the digression....

The online version is just an absolute mess these days. It's an ad site with a bit of news thrown in. Shame.
