Simoncorneyisgod Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 (edited) Seems to me that the general reporting on latics has vastly improved this season with the use of social media becoming increasingly important I think both Mike and Matt deserve enormous credit for what they have done this year and long may it continue but it seems to me that the MEN is stealing the march when it comes to scoops! Thoughts? Edited April 24, 2014 by Simoncorneyisgod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disjointed Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 The chron is a crap paper anyway, I stress this is my opinion only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Latics_Fanatic Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Coverage in the Evening News was great until they started shipping Keegan over to City and United more. Chron is alright, don't read the actual paper but it's always accessible online and twitter updates are good from Matt Chambers. Can't grumble.

Midsblue Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Matt and Mike are a major asset to our club. Both die hard fans, report on regional football and quick to link Oldham wherever in social media. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macca Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 MEN seem to be stepping away a bit of late, not having someone at games. The Clubs own media has got better recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate to be the one to tell you this, but I believe that whilst Matt may well be a die-hard fan, he's a die-hard Bradford City fan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimsleftfoot Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 MEN seem to be stepping away a bit of late, not having someone at games. The Clubs own media has got better recently. I think that's Mike furthering his career though it's no bad thing to have someone more influential at MEN. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beag_teeets Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 The pair of them do a cracking job and get the tone just right. Informative, funny, honest and say it as they see it (within the usual parameters of if they say something too bad they won't get access.)

Yard Dog Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Always enjoyed the daily coverage you get with the Chron, and it's improved a lot since Matt took over. His match reports are really good reads, and he seems to be able to get interesting interviews. That said, Mike is as good in his own way and does seem to be getting the scoops.

beag_teeets Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 To be fair the bloke before Matt, Yarwood? Was it Mike Yarwood was very good, he did some very funny match reports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewBlue Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 (edited) I enjoy both reporters' writing. Both are witty and make often dull games interesting so I have no preference in that respect. Also appreciate their Twitter feeds commentating from away games especially. However, Mike seems to get the more significant scoops over Matt. Then again, the Chron has more thorough coverage of day to day news from the club from a more neutral perspective. They do a good job.

Nohairdontcare Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 I'm grateful for coverage from both - long may it continue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostofcecere Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 I tend to get my Latics information on Twitter, and for that reason I would say both reporters have been as informative as each other Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusoe Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Mike Keegan off to the BBC according to the man himself, hope whoever takes on the MEN's reporting job is as good. Good luck to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
