FAO Smudge: Shops that sell the Oatcake

[Marc01]

Usually get to the match close to kick off when you can't always get a copy of the Oatcake outside the ground.

Used to get a copy from shops in Stoke the day before matchday; two of these shops are now closed down and the other doesn't seem to sell any more. After the Ipswich match went to another shop in the West End and when I asked if they sell the Oatcake the asian shop assistant started looking next to the bread then said sorry they have all gone.

Also have been buying copies from Shires News in Newcastle - went in tonight and was told that no copies have been delivered for some reason??

Anyway, its sometimes a chase round to get a copy. Is there a definitive list of shops that sell it and are Shires News still on the list?

Cheers

have you tried the Newsagents on the junction of honeywall and hartshill rd

but given that my subscription hasn't turned up yet there maybe some kind of delay in the system

[Marc01]

They seem to have stopped selling Dave.

It used to sell about 3 months ago - don't know if its had new owners but it has had a bit of a shift round and never seems to have any when I go in (after the match).

bloody hell, last time I popped in there, they had the latest and a whole heap of back issues on the bottom shelf of the magazine rack

Yeah Boden's by JJB in Hanley sells it like suttonstokie says

[Rebelliousjukebox]

If you're willing & able to come into Newcastle, the newsagents at the bottom of the Ironmarket, opposite(ish) the Library.

The newsagents next to the HSBC bank in Stoke sells it. It's just down from Wetherspoons on the same side.
