Stamford Mercury

Just how good is the sports coverage now, in our local paper.
Last weeks football coverage was superb, and not just to The Daniels - Blackstones and all our local teams, Rugby, Golf etc are getting superb publicity.
When James Bedford first came to Stamford he improved what was then decent sport coverage. But when he left it became very poor indeed and I like one of many stopped buying it.
But then the great man returned and his passion for his job has put the Mercury on another level with every sport you can think of getting ample coverage and features to now make Friday's 'a must walk to the paper shop' experience to get all the local sporting news.
Great stuff James Bedford, your hard work is appreciated.
Also, we must mention our very own club photographer Dan Allen - what great pictures the young man is catching for us at our games and the Drury Knee Slide picture last week I'm sure will adorn the front page of The Mercury if we gain promotion at the end of the season. Also great that some of our fantastic support was captured in frame and getting the recognition they truly deserve.
How lovely last week also to se Jeff Atton taking photos at the Lincoln game - lovely man.

I agree Dave. James does a fantastic job. Really good coverage of local sport now. There was a time that we would write up cricket match reports and send them in, and they’d literally just get ignored.
Now, that would never happen.
The good job he does means we’re less affected by the loss of SRSN, which also was a great service
