Only £2 a month for access to all articles, and then tiers up to a fiver which include additional content and interaction.

I've signed up and hopefully it will work out well.

 
Hope it works out for him. Sounds like he wasn't necessarily ready to leave the Gazette then. All a bit strange given how often Paylor writes now?
 
What AV doing then? Has he set up an independent Boro news thing? As much as AV had his flaws, he is head and shoulders above the current gazette journos. I don't mind Dominic Shaw though. Might see some better content than when he was at the Gazette if AV has the "shackles off"?
 
He joined one of our Zoom meetings a few weeks back - The Gazette wanted soundbites rather than in-depth articles and he's not prepared to compromise.
"Teesside is a hell-hole of smoke and Satanic mills on the very fringes of civilisation. If you Google 'what's it like to live in Middlesbrough?' it makes for very bleak reading. "
 
He mentions The Athletic on his Patreon, and I think he'd make for a really good coverage of Boro on there. Long-form journalism is his thing, I'd finally bite on The Athletic if he joined.
 
Good journo in my opinion. Has his finger on the pulse of fan’s thoughts. I find the articles he has written to be well thought, well crafted pieces and he was a great asset to the Gazette. Big loss and big shoes to fill
