The Bristol Post and THOSE Oh-so-annoying pop-up adverts!

A few weeks back, in one of my more frustrated moments of attempting to access the Bristol Post website through the jungle of adverts, I sent my second lot of tweets to the Local World address - the group that runs the paper.  When I looked back on what I had written, and saw the encouragement I received from others who felt exactly the same, I decided that a good old-fashioned letter to the editor - or Chief Executive - could be the order of the day. I know that even for the best social-media focused companies, unfortunately tweets often get lost in the masses and don't reach the people they need to so I figured this was perhaps a more constructive way.

Cotterill's Chicks and the Ashton Gate hoodoo

I'm dreading the sort of autobot tweets that might head my way calling this blog post that, but as I review Cotterill's policy of not picking a youth player to fill the bench, you'll understand the heading! The bulk of the article looks at the nervousness and lack of confidence seeping through the club at a pace right now, whilst I finish on what is sure to be a topic to get you talking - Cotterill's lack of willingness to put a youngster on the bench when there's a spare spot, something I personally feel quite strongly about. http://www.bristolpost.co.uk/BRISTOL-CITY-BLOG/story-27966626-detail/story.html Please let me know you thoughts, via the blog comments, the Post comments box or via more traditional channels such as Twitter/Facebook Thanks all for reading!
