Had the pleasure of visiting a picket line in York yesterday, where local paper staff were out on a five-day strike over pay. Particularly impressed to hear that during the strike York City were giving stories to the pickets' impromptu strike paper and witholding them from the actual one during the dispute.

Anyone got any other examples of up-the-workers behaviour from football clubs?

NHH, of course it does, but that makes our point perfectly: that a newspaper company's relationship with local organisations is with its staff, not its managers.
