The Pink'un

For the historic sporting paper known as The Pink 'Un, see The Sporting Times. For the business newspaper, see Financial Times.

The Pink'un was a weekly, paid-for newspaper and website that focused on Norwich City football club and also Non-League football in Norfolk, England.[1] The paper was published every Saturday evening in Norwich during the football season. Published by Archant,[2] the newspaper was closely linked to its sister publication, the Norwich Evening News.

Although the paper edition is no longer published, the website survives and receives a large amount of traffic. According to a 2007 article in the Eastern Daily Press,

"Take, for example, the PinkUn message board: in September, when City were clearly beginning to show their true colours there were 615,000-page impressions; the following month it had increased to 1,152,000, helped no doubt by the sacking of Peter Grant and the consequent hunt for his replacement.

The day that Glenn Roeder was appointed, 30 October, the PinkUn site received 255,000 page impressions and November, to date, has seen 408,000."[3]
