    You don't need to. Almost all the content is or will be available online. Which I guess is part of the probem they have being economically viable.

    As I said though, I'm willing to support a local newspaper. Its alright saying it's available online but its the physical print that will keep a local paper going rather than the online revenues. I'd rather they had very little on a website.

    We might be spoilt for choice for Latics coverage in the local press soon.

    The new Oldham Times have employed an ex Chron sub-editor to do Latics coverage, Matt Chambers has gone to the MEN and the level of Latics coverage has increased notably since then. They've  also started an Oldham edition. Then, if Revolution are successful in ressurecting the Chron, that will be another source of local coverage.

     

    I've seen:

     

    Oldham Times

    Oldham Reporter

    MEN (Oldham Edition)

    and now Oldham Chronicle.

     

    I'm willing to support a local newspaper. Had the Chron publically stated it was struggling I may have supported it anyway. 

     

    BUT

     

    I'm not buying four different publications!

    How would this go down at your place of work. 

     

    Senior Manager announces to all and sundry that at least 2 of you are not good enough and he is going to recruit 5 new employees to take your job?

    Replacing two people with five sounds like you work in the public sector.

     

    And the worst of the two would be the manager of the new team of six.

    I thought that Tierney was fairly well thought of, but he just wasn't good enough at the time to displace a very good Simon Charlton.

     

    Fun fact:  Norwich's full backs when they got promoted to the Premier League in 2010/11 were Tierney and Korey Smith!

    I thought he was good, but I didn't pick up on that being the general feeling. It was the free to Shrewsbury that not many people seemed to care about. 

     

    Charlton left at the end of the season and subsequently retired. Poor decision making at the club looking to the future if he was released because of Charlton.

     

    Edit: Still think of that goal of Charlton's against Gillingham though!
