Burnley Express clickbait headline

“Burnley 'face battle' to keep hold of star man as Leeds United 'hold further talks' over attacking midfielder”


Two “headlines” into one to make it look like Leeds are after signing one of our players.

Got to admit, this with only half a cup of coffee down me I’m not fully awake and fell for it

Crap paper, really gone downhill with articles like this

[bobinho]

Yep, used to have my dad send me the back pages when I was in Germany, wouldn’t wipe my arse with it now...

Never been the same since they were taken over by Johnston Press and joined the 'Clickbait' brigade.

I avoid their links like I avoid the plague. Or these days maybe I should say Covid-19?

I got fed up of having to trek through 9 other "headlines" before getting to the BFC bit.

Total garbage now ... even worse than the Lancashire Blackburnegraph

The print Burnley Express is OK - but after a few pages into it, its become more a regional paper than a local one. The centre section is a reprint that covers half of Lancashire with four pages of recycled puzzles lifted from other papers. The online Burnley Express and LEP tweets are identical, and frustrating to get to the actual article you want to read. I gave up on the OPs post he referred to this morning and wrote on twitter that trying to read this on a mobile is just ridiculous.

I haven’t clicked it. Have they made something of the a Tarky to West Ham speculation?

Utterly 3rd rate comglomerate rag, contain absolutely nothing of any worth.

Just ignore it, its garbage and will hopefully go away soon.

I prefer Lancs Live

Certainly through the app, I agree
Their burnley reporter certainly gets stories out ahead of boden and the like.

According to Internet traffic data, in Lancashire and Yorkshire, the BBC website is the main source of information. They've attempted to jazz up the Burnley express with generic trash to produce a product worse than an in-flight magazine.

It's not a paper worthy of anything any more.

I think the folk of Burnley would rather have a fact-based local sensible paper than a generic poor feature-ridden nothing.
