Rubbish

Does not recognise my email and/or password so now I need to cancel my subscription already! No wonder they have had to move from their large offices in Queen Street. Probably working out of a garden shed

Why it’s the best newspaper in the country

Proof of that statement can be found when listening to BBC radio when quoting items from newspapers they always mention the Express & Star they will not use any other source because they don’t trust them it’s the only one they will rely on.

Review

Great daily local paper but just a few to many adverts but I understand that add bring in revenue. I would b be great if they re-introduced the Saturday Pink football paper there isn’t any Saturday night sports papers anywhere nowadays.
