What do I know?

When I first was approached to write for the Rust I raised the question of reporting accuracy. We are not a national newspaper where facts are checked and copy ‘leagled’. I was concerned I might make some factual error. The editor told me not to worry as firstly it’s unlikely that [...]

Watching cricket at Tunbridge Wells

Yesterday I went for the first time to the Nevill Ground, Tunbridge Wells to see the first day of a championship match between Sussex and Kent. I had been told it was one of the most beautiful grounds in the country but that hardly prepared me for it. It’s situated in a park and totally [...]

Aspects of political correctness

Here’s an early bid to win a nomination for the shortlist of the 2017 version of the internal Rusters’ competition to find the most incongruous link between two media stories. My starting point is that familiar old bugbear of the editorial team – the wonderful world of Political Correctness. [...]

The Rust is proud of its reputation as one of the world’s leading observers and commentators upon the key issues facing elite global sports – performance-enhancing drugs; corruption; rampant commercialism; the pros and cons of armchair TV sports-watching versus actually ‘being [...]
