I’m sure Kennedy can wing it.

FOUR (don’t forget match abandoned) possible outcomes of last nights match.

In all seriousness it’s a shame but what’s the point anymore? It’s yesterday’s news already and half the content is lifted from the Sunderland Echo anyway. You wonder how long they can keep flogging a dead horse.

The comments on the page you linked to are worth reading. Local newspapers are done for, they're being rationalised out of existence in the same way that major retailers axe dozens of stores at a time and the banks close branches.

The Hartlepool Mail will be one of the first to go - I reckon it's got a year or two left at best.

They don't help themselves online either, website is full of adverts and surveys to even read an article.

On social media all they seem to do is dig up photos from yonks ago asking people if they remember it.

Do you remember shopping at Adams in 2004? etc..

I remember reading a few years back the Hartlepool mail had one of the lowest circulation rates in the UK. Shocked its still around in print, haven't seen a copy in ages.

I only ever go on for the adverts, which are invariably better than the articles.

The website is dreadful, can't be arsed to follow the links anymore. Used to be a great local newspaper. even though we used to whinge about it back in the day, it was infinitely better than the crappy rag it is today.

In the 70's/80's I recall the Mail having the largest percentage sale per head/local population of any daily paper in the country. It was something like 87% of the households in the town and surrounding area's purchased a copy. Obviously totally different world now, it's fair to say the Echo and Gazette will have the same problems attracting punters.

Not sure what the TWO reasons are like.

Togetherness of the squad and Craig Hignett’s influence.

Two changes, social media and the fact the Mail isn’t a local paper anymore. Totally out of touch and no local presence. It was printed here and had journalists. It’s all done out of town and shows, a joke.

Kennedy has managed to strech Hignetts little Q&A on the official site into am impressive FOUR articles today.

Any update on Featherstone and Magnay?

Would like to hear that Molyneux had signed even a years loan.
