Seems like the they only have one social media person covering U23/U18s. Presumably finished work on Friday evening before the match started, and wrote up the report this morning.
He or she must live in Southampton, as 4 weeks ago the Academy twitter, plus Website covered the Friday night game brilliantly. Obviously couldn`t be ar$ed to go to London !!!!!
Or juggles their hours to attend and write up as many games as possible, but cannot cover all of them. There was good coverage of the PL International Cup game on the Monday night.
I know you'd like to see more official coverage, but the club is losing money hand-over-fist, and I doubt they can justify having more than one part or full time employee dong that job, which means they aren't going to be able to cover everything in real time.
A few years back they offered internships doing this kind of job - but unpaid. And naturally got slated for that.
Sorry but i cannot accept that they can cover one away match brilliantly and the rest pathetically. They must know that a lot of fans are interested in the academy, the attendance of over 2000 for the Bayern match proves that. In fact when they have played at the Madejski stadium there have always been decent crowds, understandably less so when the matches are at Wycombe and Woking. They seem to be able to get a report of an Academy player signing a new contract up within hours yet a match report takes day`s !!!!!
Edit when did we know who played last Friday- i posted it just prior to kick off- the club Monday lunchtime !!!!!
