Jonny Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Gulp. Today was their No editorial with all the pash from Bob Geldof etc... tomorrow is their Yes edition. I'm maybe being naive about this, but i think they're testing the water with this little experiment. If there's a much higher sale of the Yes paper tomorrow than today's No yin, are they more likely to declare for Yes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilly71 Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 I know what u r saying, it might give them a kick in the rise if pro Indy backers bought their rag, I'll think about it, but only the once, unless they declare for Indy.

Guest Extreme0 Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Don't know...friday is a better sales day for papers is it not? And even if the Yes edition got more people buying it, it would be mostly non-readers getting a piece of history or buying because it's yes related. After they declear being yes, no doubt after the referendum the paper's sales will go back to what it was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny Posted September 4, 2014 Author Share Posted September 4, 2014 I would never normally buy it (or any other tabloid) but I'll make an exception tomorrow. I'm aware that friday sales are higher but if they get a substantial %age increase on what they normally sell on a Yes paper, with the polls seemingly getting tighter, at some point surely there's a financial decision to be made about who they'll back on the basis of sales? They WILL declare either way, they always do. My point is that if the DR (or the Sun as has been rumoured) come out for Yes that's a massive win for Yes as it reinforces the momentum. And there is some merit in the argument that people are persuaded by the pervading mood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maq Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 I'll buy it tomorrow. First time in at least 5 years I think? Maybe if enough folk buy it tomorrow, it'll send the message to their editorial team not to follow the Labour Party so blindly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iainmac1 Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Probably the only time I will buy it in years. Unless they come out for yes which is very unlikely. On another note any pics of the front page yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flure Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 People calling for committed Yes voters NOT to buy the paper tomorrow. Recalling when Sunday Herald printed their famous front page and folk were buying up multiple copis and stores quickly ran out. Theory goes that the undecideds need to get it, not committed Yes voters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonny Posted September 4, 2014 Author Share Posted September 4, 2014 I don't care one way or another. Sorry, I don't understand the point your were making in your previous post? Was it just reporting what folk were saying or (as I thought) were you endorsing it? Either way, it's a braw front page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orraloon Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Or buying one and sending it to BT freepost address! That would just be a waste. A lot of folk are voting NO based almost entirely on what they read in the papers. What other reason would they have? Reading this version of the Record might just be enough to make them at least think about the alternative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
