What was the name of the writer? It was just one guy. I’ll know his name when I see it

I love the advertiser and before the internet that was the source of my Palace news.

A lot on here slated the Advertiser, but namely young kids who have only know the internet.

I truly hope it keeps going as that will be another part of my childhood that has disappeared.

Used to do a paper round too, but mine was the news shopper. I used to dump it now and then when there was no Palace news

 


Some people are like Slinkies … not really good for anything, but you can’t help smiling when you see one tumble down the stairs.

People on here slated it for the intolerable number of adverts on their site and the repetitive click bait threads they used to make on here.

As a paper, for Palace news, it was always decent.

 


Optimistic as ever

I might be wrong but was it Derek Wild?

^This

One of the reasons a paper like the CA fails is because every TD&H calls themselves a journalist these days and access to internet for blog writers and producers mocks the traditional print values. Truly capable Journalists and writers head to the big smoke for a bigger named rag as the quality options are few and they are more like gold dust. (Yes even the Sun employs quality people - they just destroy their soul).

 


So I manage a Workshop which provides a safe learning environment for blokes struggling with PTSD and other mental health issues. Being a Palace fan isn't listed yet.

I am in my mid 40s and for a long period of my life, the Adder made Friday mornings special. Now it churns out too much low quality content in the mindless pursuit of clicks to sell adverts. 'This Palace striker has major injury' type thing, and it's someone in the youth team who pulled a hamstring. It's sad more than anything else, but I guess collateral damage from the internet. They do the odd decent story but it gets lost in the spam.

 


If you want to live in a world full of kindness, respect and love, try to show these qualities.

The online stuff is s***.

It regurgitates the same story time after time after time. They get about 40 stories out of a press conference with 30 being the same thing.

Good riddance

Much the same as the mail express etc who print the same stories on different pages.

Are we still allowed to say “bender”?

A bender is something to eat at the wimpy, and very nice it is too, if you are talking about bender as in Brighton fans, then I suppose that's ok too, free speech and all that.

As a lot have said, The Addy WAS the place to go for Palace and local news back in the day. Unfortunately, the 24 hr news that we now have, be t on tv or the net , is killing off newspapers. What you read on a friday in the Addy is news from during the week and we've all heard it. Sadly, the website is a generic site for most local papers and so follows a sh1tty theme of being funded by a ridiculous amount of ads all the time. That combined with some of the frankly amateurish journalism is a lot of the stories, means it all comes through very weakly.
Sad really, as it was a mainstay of much of my early Palace upbringing (and yes, like many, I dreaded fridays on my paper round too!)

I used to love a bender at the Wimpy bar. Then there was the ‘Brown Derby’ which I always thought sounded a bit dodgy too. “I’m going out to get a Bender and some Brown Derby” just doesn’t sound right.

It’s redundant for Palace news now days since every story breaks on the internet as the story happens.
