Reply from sports Editor to my brother, who complained about the Exeter pics in the Herald
Thanks for your email and apologies for the use of ‘those’ pictures.
Basically the photographer at the AFC Wimbledon game was having problems sending his photos back, and so the decision was made to use pictures from another game in the JPT on the opposite page as an emergency back-up.
I wasn’t in the office when that decision was made, though I can understand the thinking behind it.
However in retrospect I can see why Greens fans aren’t happy and if we have trouble getting live pictures again I would expect us to use some filer shots of Argyle players instead.
It certainly wasn’t planned and won’t happen again!
Thanks for sticking with us.
Best wishes,
Regional sports editor
