After nearly 30 years, Wendy Gee has left the @dailyecho. She would like to thank everyone who has helped her and wishes the local non-league community all the best for the future

@SportsPink today we lost something very important to the local sporting community. So so sad have read the Pink for half a century.

Why are they getting rid of the @SportsPink ? Loved popping over the shop hour or so after full time to grab! ☹️

Sad to see the Sports Pink go. A south coast staple. Interviewing Marian Pahars for its front page felt brilliant when I starting in journalism. RIP

loved getting the pink! Always used to check the tyro league results when I was at school. Good to read all the local non league teams from the Wessex and southern leagues.

Sad to see @SportsPink go. Still got this pic of my Dad (bottom row, second from left) from the 1980s special a few years ago.
We'd always stop for petrol and a copy of the Pink on the way home from watching Dad play on a Saturday when when I was a kid #RIPSportsPink

I used to love buying The Sports Pink while studying @SolentSportsJ. It’s very sad. teapawt.org/sportspink/status/9396…

No way, such sad news. The pink is a fantastic paper for local non league (especially love all the Wessex League 'politics') Will leave a massive gap
Thanks for all your comments/memories of the Football Echo/Sports Pink and to @TonyHusbandBBC for the South Today send-off #RIPSportsPink😪
