Used to buy the mail religiously as a kid - I remember looking at pictures of HUGE (20lb lol) carp and dreaming about catching fish like that. Was always Optonics, Gardner rod Pods and Richworth Boilies.
With the growth of the interne their days were numbered sadly. You cant stop progress.....

Massive shame,
but you have to wonder why the largest participant sport in the country cannot maintain print media, yet there are several different magazines on crochet, cross stitch, model trains etc etc.
I believe that the Mail tried to turn abit "red top" with it's bizarre stories, and it's constant focus on match fishing and backlash from publicising massive 1000lb+ keepnets.
If it wasn't for the Martin Bowler features, and articles on Steve Ringer catching pasties with expander pellets, it would a gone sooner.

Anyone who won a prize from them as a kid could tell you exactly what you got. (Middy cap and a pack of Kamasan Maggot hooks)
I used to cut out the pictures of the fish from the "species" heading under the venues and stick them onto school books etc, or i'd chuck them onto the dining table, nick a load of trees from my Tracey Island and make it into a lake, with the Playmobil figures fishing for them
(yes, this was last week. I've grown up now.)

Facebook.
One day far too late we will realize that it is as dangerous as drink and drugs when it comes to addiction's, suffocating the life out of every aspect of peoples lives.

Like most not bought for years. Used to buy it for the match results to cut out my results and stick in a scrap book. Sad I know 🙈
As others have said, not surprised.

Yep a real shame
Regularly buy a copy to read on the bank. Love the where to fish sections
I won a really nice keep net for letter of the week about 10 years back. Still use it now.
