Laughable, the Advertiser and M.E.N execs are denying they even sent this out now! This article and the comments below say otherwise: http://www.how-do.co.uk/north-west-media-news/north-west-publishing/major-changes-in-the-pipeline-for-men-free-weekly-titles?-201001257284/ and it isn’t just Salford but also their Tameside, Trafford, Rochdale, Stockport, Prestwich titles. Why are they being so secretive, I thought newspapers were meant to tell the truth or at least explain themselves when people are confused by what they print.

The flier my mother got through her front door with her local paper last week was a glossy colour A3 poster. It must have cost them a lot of money to print so why they’d only send it to certain homes I don’t know… bad publicity I guess affecting online revenues?

As for being able to purchase these papers from “QUALITY NEWSAGENTS” we’ve asked about, no-one sells it or has stopped selling it ages ago.

Come on M.E.N/GMG tell us the real story please.

As a disabled person I cannot always get to the shops. I was shocked to get this notice with my copy of the advertiser.
