I grew up with the western mail and echo and they seemed to be quite distinct papers . The Echo was more a football paper but at least in the old days they had different match reports for city games
As I hated the big papers on a weekend it was great when the western mail expanded to a Wales on Sunday edition
But it's absolutely crap and all its reports , including the football pages are simply repeated in Mondays western mail
I have given up on the Echo and will soon give up on the western mail . The price is extortionate for the rubbish that is in there and its more expensive than most of the competition .
The population of Wales is 3 million ......about 7000 western mails are sold daily
I have heard of a loss leader but that's the end of the line
I havnt been to Queen Street in years , do the fellas still sell the Echo?
They won't be for long
