The Star

[FreeBlade70]

Thanks, but no thanks!

Having a laugh...

 

[PokerBlade]

Counter offer: the last two chunks of my Dairy Milk for five years.

 

[BettingBlade]

40 quid? 40 quid....

I’d expect The Athletic level insight for that.

 

[PokerBlade]

A Costa Coffe card with three stamps.

 

[PeterNdlovu081]

I wouldn't read it if they paid me £40.

 

[kevreedy]

£40 cheeky bleeders.

 

[SwissBlade]

I wouldn't read it if they paid me £40.

What about £30 amazon vouchers and £20 uber eats vouchers?

 

[LoughboroBlade]

40 quid? 40 quid....

I’d expect The Athletic level insight for that.

You can get an Athletic subscription at the mo for £1/month for the year it seems in comparison...

 

[PokerBlade]

I've had a pack of Discos. We all know the best bit is the flavouring left in the bottom of the bag. I'll give them most of that for 2 years. Best I can do.

 

[Chabuddy G]

£40 for what?

They’ll just be preparing our 2018/19 season review in Star HQ right now

 

[georgebernardshaw]

Wouldn’t spend a penny on it

What's port match analysis?

Port match analysis:

"There was definitely a match"

 

[madeinsheffield]

Didn't get chance to read it before an advert popped up

 

[Blackestnite]

The Star is embarrassing for a major city like ours.

 

[PokerBlade]

One of Gordon Strachan's yoghurts. Still within sell by date.

 

[Kozzy_is_my_Dad]

I don't mean any offence to Danny's efforts, but I don't need the Star any more, they're less and less relevant. Unless they reinvent their services in some way.

 

[wizadry]

Wow! £40?

 

[KoppedOff]

Going down the Chancer route of money-clawing desperation; guilt tripping and emotional blackmail.

They’ll be offering 10 year subscriptions next.

 

[KoppedOff]

And if its to access content to cover both clubs, why the fuck would I want to spend £20 on pig coverage?

I might, I stress might, consider a 10-year subscription to The Star for £40.

 

[JT89]

"Ad-lite" - so you would still have to put up with adverts, just less of them

"Over 100 Star-exclusive sport articles every week" - what sports are they going to be talking about? It's fairly unlikely they are going to be writing anything abiut united that isn't reported elsewhere.

So, no thanks.

 

[FATTYFOULKE]

Thing is if all newspaper’s online efforts go under because nobody’s willing to pay for that information who’s going to take their place?

I used to pay for the Star every night purely for the info on United. I was happy to do it.

It was only (after one particular occasion) when I realised just how biased they were (at that time) that I stopped buying it.

If there are no journalists reporting who’s going to take their place?

It’s alright taking the piss at a less than £40 subscription (76p per week) but it’s value is pretty good.

The thing is no-one will pay it while there are alternatives online to get the information.

But gradually those sources will go under because of lack of funds and then we’ll be left with the likes of Sky Sports to squeeze us a mention in between Man Utd and Chelsea.

 

[CaptainMorgans]

They genuinely think their product is worth £40?

The Yorkshire Examiner provides way better coverage. I'd pay not to read James Shield's "journalism."

 

[GrayBlade]

What's port match analysis?

Say again?

 

[Bladedog]

The latest news two days later

 

[metalblade]

They have got to pay for this seasons SOO (save our pigs) campaign somehow.
