    Swindon Town Media Ban

    Fascinating story in the link below (unearthed at wsc.co.uk) about Swindon Town, who this season will channel all club news through an app, refusing access to the local newspapers etc aside from post-game press conferences (league obligation).

    Team news, injury updates, signings, club opinion will all be released only through the app, with the local media left in the dark..


    Opinion piece below is well worth a read. - view external link

    While the grounds and team and backroom may be technically owned by an individual or group of individuals, it is the local community's club. And they deserve to have independent journalists have access to information within the club. I am sure internet activity surrounding the club will decrease in time because people aren't interested in club produced pieces (other than press conferences and announcements. Bad move by the club.

    It gets more like a policed state every day. I wonder how long it will be before the Swindon fans start some serious protests?
