That’s the intention of them. Keep people constantly flipping between Twitter, What’s App, tik tok! Facebook, etc, etc, ad nauseam....with their attention span reduced to the length of an 10 second advert.

I still suspect that the Tamigotchi ‘digital pet’ was invented in 1996 to train small children into constantly fiddling with a hand held device, at a time when mobiles were still the size of a cordless phone with a huge antennae.

I'm entirely "tech savvy", thanks, I just detest the whole idea of Twitter. I also detest David Cameron, but do think he was right when he said "too many tweets make a ****"

. I really don't believe the world needs to know I've just eaten a sausage bap, very nice though it was ....[/QUOTE]

Chimer, it was a suggestion and was trying to be helpful. I'm on Twitter mainly to follow Andy and the Club.

I don't tweet myself.......Keep your Helmet on!

or your friends, i mean proper friends who you actually see face to face, would be interested either. really its only an extension of pointless phone calls people made on mobile phones when they thought of them as the must have device.

Well I'm afraid to say that you can all "agree to agree" all you like......on the use of social media, but in the long term if Stanley is to survive and flourish it is the social media savvy young uns that the club needs attract as supporters fo the future........when we old uns are long gone.....

I can still remember the early 90s, travelling up to Accrington on a Saturday and buying an Observer in Baxenden so that we could check for any news about the team.

think that its like all local papers then. stopped getting our one a couple of years ago and never buy the hartlepool mail anymore when i go back up there. pity but these publications are a thing of the past where most know before they print them what the actual news they are interested in is.

Very true MH gone are the days when your local paper was written by local journalists and printed in the town. When the Observer was published on Tuesdays and Saturdays it was always read for the local sports results and information. To me the loss of our local paper was a big factor in losing track of local football and cricket clubs also other things like the Observer Cup for snooker - is that still played for?

cashman · 11-04-2021, 12:26

i am sure its still played for pifco not that i have been since the drill hall.

the reson i stopped buying them was for the reason these reports and results got really sketchy. at one time it was the only way you knew if you were selected to play many sports on a saturday especially if training was cancelled mid week. the teams were published and you had to buy a copy. now its just emails and last minute ones at that where you are expected to pick up. its all called progress but not by me.
