I get my edition slightly later than you guys and noticed not only no report on the Rover's game, but not one championship game covered at all? It looked like there was a double page missing but I checked the page numbers and all looked as it should.

Any local news as to why the whole championship was omitted this week? Or have I missed something and this is yet another pointer toward my rapidly approaching senility?

If I bought the Sunday Post I wouldn't tell anyone about it. Very Happy

I know Man, but where I am, it's the only publication that offers a coverage of Scottish football.

I only ever read the football pull out central bit. Does that help restore some of my Street cred Biggles?

I am able to get access to a humongous amount of global publications free of charge by being a member of High Life Highland library services and using my concessionary travel card number to operate the account. A fabulous service. Just hope with cutbacks etc that it's able to keep going. I read the P&J(Highlands and Islands) and Dundee Courier (Fife) editions cover to cover every day.
Is it possible to try going down that way HR?

Thanks for the help Biggles and Embow. I will look into these suggestions.

You're welcome HR.
Just had a wee check and Sunday Post, Sunday Mail, Herald on Sunday, Scotland on Sunday, Sunday Express and others all available on Press Reader. If you are able to go down this road remember when initially searching to put in the edition you want to see and read. You need to renew each month as you get 30 days at a time. All free nonetheless.
Bus pass (if you're using one) then it's all the numbers minus the last two that you use.👍

Does anyone have a ball of sunburst orange wool they're willing to swap?

If you are in Fife now and then HR, the libraries will let you join as a temporary member, like I did. I think it might last a year, although would have to check. They were pretty helpful.

I get my daily paper online.
Most newspapers are doing this now and the cost SAVINGS are huge compared to buying daily.
For me it works out at about a seventy % saving on the daily paper price.
Same thing for auto express weekly which works out at a 48% saving on shop prices.
Delivered to your I pad/ tablet .
My particular paper comes with upwards of 200 pages when you add in all the quizzes, puzzles,,downloads etc.......AND.....you Dinah have tae tip the paper boy/ girl at Christmas.!.
Very Happy
