NEW SPORTS NEWSPAPER

New UK publication attracts several media men

British gamblers will soon have a brand new newspaper to keep them abreast of sporting and gaming affairs if Ben and Zac Goldsmith, sons of the charismatic late billionaire Sir James Goldsmith have their way.

The two have put up some GBP 500 000 to start the ball rolling on the publication, branded "The Sportsman" which is aimed at the growing number of people who bet via the Internet on everything from poker to sports and financial markets. Targeted on the British gaming industry, worth GBP44 billion in bets taken last year, it will be published seven days a week and cover sport, the City and politics.

Charlie Methven, a former Daily Telegraph journalist, and Max Aitken, great-grandson of the legendary Express Newspapers proprietor Lord Beaverbrook, are behind the paper, with Jeremy Deedes, former chief executive of the Telegraph Group, who is chairman.

Compton Hellyer, chairman and founder of the spread-betting company Sporting Index, is a non-executive director.

The paper is seeking further investment of GBP12 million before it can launch.
