All the Leagues in one paper

In one of the most exciting developments in sports publishing, The Non-League Paper and The League Paper will be amalgamating to form The Football Paper from Sunday November 12th.

Non-League lovers will still have their very own newspaper, however, as The NLP will be a self-contained 64-page newspaper printed inside a 56-page Football Paper.

Those 56 pages will contain extensive coverage of the Football League - in the style of the current Football League Paper, with the addition of Premiership match reporting and news plus a view of the Scottish and Irish scene. The cover price for this 120-page tabloid newspaper will be £1.50.

Simon Burrell, managing director of BHT Media, owners of The Non-League Paper and The League Paper, said: "This is an exciting and logical development of the two brands."

David Emery, editor in chief and founder editor of The Non-League Paper in 2000, said: "For the first time football fans will be able to receive complete coverage of the national game in one package.

"We are securing the services of several fine columnists who will bring incisive comment, expert analysis and some wit to Sunday mornings.

"We are mindful that our very loyal Non-League readers must continue to receive the high standard product they demand and we assure them everything will be in place as before - they will simply have another 56 pages of football to read if they choose to do so."
