oafc1955 Posted November 29, 2017 Author Share Posted November 29, 2017 I think it’s either a weekly or a daily...can’t see the point of a twice a week publication with already one from the reporter and one from Oldham Times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

singe Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Sad to see Matt Chambers is no longer covering Latics matches or seemingly in any capacity. End of an era and all that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stagger Lee Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Bonus points to Matt for the Jeff Buckley song - obscure classic! So why is Matt Chambers not going to be covering the ISZ circus anymore? Its a shame because he has done a very good job over the years. * insert viscous and unsubstantiated rumour that he has been banned by SC for some connection to the tax raid .... * Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bozman Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Just now, opinions4u said: I assume the MEN have decided to do away with his new coverage for them after the demise of the Chron. Looks like he's no longer with the MEN as his twitter bio now states 'freelance reporter' instead of 'Oldham Athletic reporter for the MEN'. I did wonder how long they would persist with a dedicated Latics reporter. The guy who did it before him covered other sports and teams as well and he now appears to have Latics coverage back in his portfolio. I imagine it must have been frustrating for him too, as there was never going to be a demand for a back page article on Latics everyday in the MEN as there was in the Chron.. On the plus side, it looks like Latics coverage in the Oldham Times has increased a bit recently and there is the prospect of more coverage when the Chron returns.

LaticsPete Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 He also reported on Latics for the Football League paper on Sundays. Seems that he won't be doing that either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
singe Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 I doubt the weekly report in the MEN, and FLP was enough to pay the bills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al_bro Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 When Matt Chambers was interviewed on one of the Radio Manchester programmes featuring the club. he was asked if he was enjoying life at the MEN and he seemed very luke warm about it in his answer. He didn't say I'm enjoying it a lot, he just said "It's ok". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Worcester Owl Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Matt Chambers was both a genuine fan but also scrupulously objective in his reporting on the club, a real professional. Shame there aren't more like him in what we used to call Fleet St. I wish him all the very best for the future and will miss his reporting.

Pretty sure he’s said he’s a Latics fan now a few times. His dad or grandad played for / had something to do with the club? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
