Well they do have a reporter at Asda occasionally.

Why they can't rent a room somewhere local beats me, why should we have to visit Asda at their convenience, or have to ring a Manchester number.

Retlaw.
 
got it this afternoon and read it, thats a load of rubbish they are spouting about keeping it local, got to the whats on section nearer the back and have they got a list of whats on at vue cinema in accy? have they sh!te, they have a list of whats on at appollo cinema in.......BURNLEY, they put in about the thing that happened in Mercer park in Clayton(last week)...and said it was this week, carboot sales in Rossendale,Trafford and Chelford and jobs in Manchester....whatever happened to the 'schools' section of the paper?


its still a loada crap if you ask me, i only buy it now to put in the bottom of the birds cage
 
I think the news is local but it's the what's on section and the jobs section that are no longer local. I don't want to know about a pub in salford, I want to know about a local pub.

Local pub reviews/sandwich shop reviews
Jobs available for local people
What's on for local events
 
I'm afraid this paper is now a pale shadow of its former self. Very Sad!

just good they listen to local people.... come on new editor we want local new's not what's happening in and around manchester... full stop.... are we geting to you. ............... ?????
 
Will say this though .. in the accy observer its front page news about them listening to the complaints .. in the rossendale free press it only makes page 5!! Accy people must shout louder than rossendalians ..:D:D:D

Oh come on Gayle they've featured Franco's this week:D, but I agree with you its still useless for local events:(
 
in fairness i would say those who work the accy abserver local, know what locals require, n no doubt try get the message across, but while ya got "Tossers" in suits etc that pull the strings n pay the wages there aint much hope it will return to its former glory, the "Tossers" always know Best.:rolleyes:
 
I too am very disappointed in the Accy Observer although I must say that on- line there's the Expats site and I've managed to find quite a lot of old friends. However, they don't update it enough.
The only things about Accy are who has 'departed' etc.....
 
Ive never got the job section in the Observer, its always jobs in manchester! And now the big "book" in the observer also anoys me telling about events and life which is not even in accrington! I still read and buy it but it never has local news in and if it does then its not even that good, i have to admit there are a few good storys sometimes to read but not very often though!

But like all other things , papers cost money to print so all this Manchester and other non accrington stuff are adverts probably paying for half of the cost to print the things! Im glad its still going , but maybe their should be a new editor like people have said on here :)

I agree. I noticed an improvement this week. Thank goodness, someone appears to have taken our comments on board. :mosher:
 
only moan I have about the on-line edition is the delay in updating the Obituary section , hope its because no-one has passed on .
