It’ll come out every Thursday....bit of a wait for a match report, yet they still have a sports reporter and sports editor....... a long way from waiting for the Footy Mail when it was truly local. In fact if you play on a Saturday and Tuesday you’ll be two matches behind.... pointless, probably chat and bumpf articles, nostalgia and ribbon cutting.....and a Tsunami of adverts. :roll:
Mail RIP.

Circulation down to 1500 a day hardly surprising.

Let's hope it clears the way for the return of the Footie Mail complete with the Docker.
I suppose though he would need to be replaced with a worker more representative of modern day Hartlepool??

Those where the days when the streets at 5pm on a Saturday had droves of people stood waiting on their front step for that familiar cry.......FOOTBALL MAY YALL.
When Mam saw the state of the step afterwards everybody got a bollocking.

remember halifax in the early 60,s when you could by their green un, the bradford pink and one from leeds. a group of us bought em every week, went to a coffee bar and read em all taking in and talking about the results etc. some of the best times of my life with no worries about lasses and money.

Remember going to stand outside the paper shop for the van dropping them off, funny how with all that old technology they could print a paper and an hour after the final whistle have it in the newsagents.

When I found myself going weekly the old quack told me to drink Nimmos.
