I appreciate they're aimed at different people, and I guess I am not in the Birmingham Mail target segment, but I genuinely don't see why anyone would part with actual money to buy it.

They were giving away free copies this morning, so I took one. Maureen Messent is still in it!But, there really wasn't that much to read - I got through it in about 15 minutes.
I think Mat Kendrick gets a lot of very unfair stick, but looking beyond football to the way it reports in general, I find the Mail to be incredibly small time, forever running "OMG! A BRUMMIE IS ON THE TELLY!" style articles, whereas the Birmingham Post is a very positive, much more grown up newspaper.I appreciate they're aimed at different people, and I guess I am not in the Birmingham Mail target segment, but I genuinely don't see why anyone would part with actual money to buy it.
