Results round up – Sunday August 23rd 2009.
 | You may have noticed that the Gazette has an interesting new business model. It fails to replace its local football reporter on retirement and instead asks the respective clubs and leagues to produce their own reports for no payment whatsoever. Meanwhile it continues to sell the papers including said content whilst retaining all the profits – Nice work if you can get it. Anyway, here is the BFSFA's charitable contribution to the failing organ thanks to committee man Frank Kennedy. Please remember that this article is dependant on input from the clubs which last week was rather disappointing with only four clubs bothering to contribute – Talk to Frank ! |
