Examiner & Yorkshire Post : Wed Apr 15, 2009 6:59 am  

I've just read both the Examiner's & Yorkshire Post's reports of our HKR match. They are identical. Does this happen often?

I wouldn't have thought so but I rarely read the YP as we seem to get, at best, poor coverage in it.

As it was Easter it may have been that Chris was on holiday
Now that the Examiner is part of a larger publishing group, it could well be that they used the facilities of the "press Agency" - like Reuter - but for sports news-- who provide a service for newspapers in general if they wish
eg - one reporter goes to Aus for the ashes and reports back to Examiner/ say Southampton Echo etc--and several more -(shared costs)
Also say cover Wimbledon over here - and send report to papers in Aus/ France / and rest of Europe - a sort of "cooperatve"
or maybe Chris did it - and there was some counter arrangement with the Yorks Post on these lines cos of hols
Cant confirm THATS what happened -- but something similar to above stands a chance
