How would you monetize news? The simple answer is, you can't, and that is why advertising is critical. Subscribing for a whole 100 pennies will get you 3 months worth of local news without the ads. Now that doesn't hurt too much does it? You might also be helping people keep there jobs or is the whole point of this witch hunt on SF designed to kill them off?    Maybe if they updated news instead of leaving links to stories that are days out of date on the pages it might be worth a look. In the sports section on one of the pages about Wednesday there was a link and when you clicked on it, it was from August.

It's says that Woodseats Road is flooded and it shows a picture of Chesterfield Road at the bottom of Cobnar Road. They can't even get the road names correct. I thought I saw a reference to a Woodseats road rather than Woodseats Road.  But at a time of local crisis, if they claim to be a public service then I'd have thought there would be a case for lifting the restrictions.

iansheff   86 #195 Posted November 18, 2019 (edited) Just read an article about Terry Curran on the Star website, down near the bottom there is a picture and it says the M1 is closed after an accident. I clicked on the article to find out it was June this year.  Edited November 18, 2019 by iansheff Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Colin Foster   70 #196 Posted January 19, 2020 (edited) Scraping the barrel...  When does it start getting lighter and the clocks go forward in Sheffield?  Erm at a guess same as everywhere else in the country. Don't know where they got this reporter from who seems to think putting the clocks forward means the sun rises an hour earlier!!

iansheff   86 #200 Posted June 15, 2020 (edited) According to The Star Wednesday are playing Middlesbrough on Saturday. You would think that they could get a simple thing like an opposing team correct.  "Garry Monk’s attention to detail can lay the foundations for Sheffield Wednesday to hit the ground running as they return to action against Middlesbrough on Saturday."  https://www.thestar.co.uk/sport/football/sheffield-wednesday/sheffield-wednesday-defender-backs-garry-monks-methods-ahead-big-restart-2884103 Edited June 15, 2020 by iansheff Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
