Either Stockport’s new owners have bottomless pockets and Bury’s Ryan Lowe is so good that they’d consider shattering the world transfer record in a bid to haul themselves back into the Football League, or the Daily Star need to employ more competent and attentive proofreaders. My money’s probably on the latter.
(Apologies for the pedantry, but given that most of us work in publishing I’m afraid you just have to expect it…)
[6]Ben is a long-suffering Newcastle Utd supporter (is there any other kind?) who co-founded and co-wrote Black & White & Read All Over, a blog that, over the course of a decade, chronicled the ups, downs, chaos and calamity of the club he has the misfortune to follow. Since the blog hung up its boots in May 2014 (note: not as a mark of respect for Shola Ameobi leaving St James’ Park), he has contented himself with sporadic, splenetic Twitter outbursts and shamefully rare contributions to The Two Unfortunates. He is currently haunted by visions of Joe Kinnear returning to the club for a third spell and pondering whether he’ll live to see another victory over the Mackems, but at least has a cardboard coathanger with Robert Lee’s head on it for consolation.
