Joe Bray

@Lee_Swettenham Cheers Lee, hope you're all good!

@_joebray That's brilliant to hear mate, great role that! Hope you're well, all the best.

2025. Not necessarily the year I expected, but one with a big new start. Grateful to end it in a new(ish) role producing the matchday programme at Newcastle United. 📈 (Also the year that football imploded and Oldham won an actual game at Wembley which is far more important. 🤯)

@_GeorgeSmith99 Saved the very best until last 🤣

@_joebray Thanks a lot, Joe. I guess Wednesday night’s events against Grimsby Town marked a fitting way to bow out! 😆 I hope all is well with you, mate.

🚨 My time covering #MUFC has sadly come to an end. After four years at the Manchester Evening News, and six years at Reach PLC, I’ve left the company after being made redundant. I thoroughly enjoyed my time at the MEN, working alongside some fantastic colleagues. 1/3.

@spbajko Apart from when it's raining goals (for the opposition..)

@_joebray It’s always sunny in Oldham

@CiaranKelly__ Congrats Ciaran, great gig! Well deserved.

Never one for #somepersonalnews but I've finished up at the Chronicle and the Journal after six-and-a-half years. 🙏It's been a privilege to work with such great people in a region that's become my second home. Starting a new role covering #nufc for BBC Sport.

@MikeMinay @paulburrows14 Congrats Mike, great news!

1💍 years! Was about time I popped the question! (He did say yes). ❤️💙

@DiscoMirror Thanks a lot!

@_joebray Sorry to hear you’ve left Joe, always a pleasure working with you. Best of luck with the next chapter of your career.

🔊 Earlier this month I left the MEN after 7 brilliant years following City around the world. From Southampton to Seville, Goodison to Green Bay, Newcastle to New York (and countless freezing nights at the CFA), it's been a privilege to write for my local paper. (Cont. 👇)

@PeteHall86 Ta! Hopefully I'm still eligible for a cameo in the media game!

@_joebray Best of luck mate. Sure I'll be seeing you soon!

@City_Xtra Thanks guys, appreciate that! 👍

@_joebray Thank you for the incredible coverage over the years, Joe. A huge loss for the paper, and a significant amount of our own work would simply not have been possible without your talents/efforts! 👏 Wishing you all the best with what comes next! 🩵

@Lee_Swettenham Thanks Lee, hope you're doing well!

@_joebray You had a great innings there Joe and you were a pleasure to work with. All the best for what comes next.

@ConorMcGilligxn Cheers pal, hope you're good!

@_joebray Good luck mate!

@RichMartinMcr Ta Rich, very kind!

A huge loss to the Manchester press box community but have no doubt you'll be back soon

@MCFCfoodbank Thanks guys, been a pleasure!

@_joebray Thanks for all the support over the years Joe, it's been appreciated and best of luck in your next role 🩵

@RichFay I would, but 'Simply The Best' has already been taken 🤷‍♂️

@_joebray So sorry to hear this. All the best for whatever comes next mate. Might finally be time to write Mike Fondop: The Musical

@SimonPeach Thanks Simon!

@_joebray Sorry to hear this Joe. Good luck with everything moving forward

@spbajko As long as it's not a South Coast away trip 😬

@_joebray ❤️much love, sure I'll see you soon

@DomFarrell1986 Thanks pal - and that's the plan!

@_joebray All the best mate. I'm sure I'll see you out and about soon.

@italianfranc88 Appreciate that, thanks for reading!

@_joebray Literally said to my brother a few months ago the support you've given fans regarding the tickets system and ticket prices, season tickets etc has been absolutely fantastic 👏🏻 thank you and good luck for the future 👍🏻
