The problem is a lot of us on here have grown up with the Observer, we're talking over 50 years worth, here not just a few years. We can remember when it was a decent local rag, you knew the reporters and their ad reps and when it dropped on your at behind the door it was like a friend dropping in, in comparison its a waste of time today, the layout is wrong for a start, you may like to look at the last Accrington edition and then compare, When all's said and done its people like Neil, Cash and myself that matter, because when people like us decide to kick the Obs to the kerb your out of a job, period

Re: Accy Observer

I think they are trying really hard here ... the articles this week/last week have been more dynamic and eye catching.

You all have to bear in mind that if MEN (Guardian Group) had not taken over our paper, then we probably wouldn't have one at all. Papers rely on advertising mainly, and not many of our local businesses (what's left) have the funds, so has been left to other areas to advertise in it, which they are willing to do in the hope that we will be a good catchment area for them.

I say support them at least.

Bet the original owners didn't come out badly on the sale to this group .. just like the past mill owners when we were sold down the river ..

Re: Accy Observer

Can someone let me know if they've reported about the Battle of Britain party this week - and have they made the same mistake as the Telegraph?

Can't see anything Gayle. May have missed it.

They have mentioned that PB is throwing his hat in for the General Election though ...

They also reported that the Labour Group spoke about taxi drivers at the meeting of Cabinet - when it was actually at Full council.

There was a leaflet in about the Coppice Gayle and they've stopped reviewing pubs from other areas, well the last two weeks that is, but still not convinced

Yes, at least the Coppice leaflet was in. I wasn't relying on them to print anything about it so I paid to have the leaflets inserted about it.

Hopefully, this time there's a better spread of people who got a leaflet - after the Mela fiasco with leaflets I wasn't really relying on that being done right either.
