We win the Midlands Cup Final and the coverage in the dear old Shropshire Star is...Dire..For Christs sake what does anyone have to do in this county to get the kind of coverage they deserve,we get to the finals of the playoffs and get pages...these guys win the only best trophy they can and get scr@ps of coverage in the Telford version...Someone at the Star thinks we in the Telford area just love the Wolves,for a local Shropshire paper simply disgusting...and reinforces the belief Express and Star Wolverhampton call all the shots in our county of Shropshire.

If you want an endorsement of how poorly the sloppy star covers us then just check out the column inches afforded Town and KFC in monday nights edition. We had less than half of their coverage despite it being a mighty fixture for our league. I'm afraid it's something we have to put up with when the sloppy is a major sponsor of KFC. Never mind, we've always got the radio

I didn't know about the coverage - but today I've written a letter to both The Shropshire Star and the Shrewsbury Chronicle regarding the Midlands Cup.
I didn't go to see them win it; I wish I had been able to go- but I went to see the Reserves with Mr Wiggy and 2 grandchildren- anmd I made the point that our young players are impressive and merit some recognition and support.
I made the point that if we can make the journey from Wigan to see them, then they deserve local support and recognition!

Midday and Evening editions may differ, they might not have had the page set, etc.
