Angling Times Match Results

[TF_AbiParticipant]

AT often gets a slating for its indifferent match coverage through the year and on occasion this has been rightly justified but like any business we’re always trying to improve the service we provide our readers, which by our own admission hasn’t been the best it could be of late. So, starting this weekend (January 7/8) Angling Times is changing the way it collects open match results. This will be carried out in house so if any of you match organisers out there have a match result to report but don’t know where to report it, the process has been simplified. Midweek results can be phoned through direct to the AT offices on 01733 395109 while weekend matches can be sent via e-mail to [email protected] – remember, this weekend also marks the start of point scoring for the County Championships too so if you’ve got a result to get in the paper we’re all ears – no reasonable result will be refused!

well done abi. email is much better than trying to phone and never getting a response 🙂

This could be interesting as the staffing levels would need to increase on a Sunday evening to cope with what is sometimes a deluge! The subs will remain the same but there would need to be at the very least two reporters in and possibly four.

Regardless, match organisers, as always, need to get their results in early and not languish in the pub or otherwise be incommunicardo.

I somehow don’t think it will be consistently as up to date as we would like due to “free gifts” occasionally bringing forward deadlines.

This weekend is the first run, and the guys that do the match results have increased their hours at the weekend to cope with the extra work. We’ll see how it goes and then make the necessary changes to make it even better the next week.

Match organisers getting results in as early as possible is the key and we have briefed the majority of the match organisers about the new set-up.
