How many other pieces of news impact more people more immediately than that? Doyou want to go through the entire site and identify any that have more immediate relevance? Perhaps we should cancel all the weather forecasts and traffic reports, as they aren't "news" either.

Come on Echo cheer me up whats the latest bad news at Fratton Park. When are they going to get a points deduction, a good investigation into the FA dragging their heels. I'd buy a copy to read that. It could be a special headline "Fushed away at long last"
