Match Previews

Postby dazby » Tue Aug 13, 2013 12:23 am

Righto lads and lasses. Step right up, step right up. A mancityfans tradition is that our members write a match preview for each game. It's wonderful to come on here before the game and read an analysis of our team and our opposition. It certainly adds to the gameday experience and the writing is better than you'd read elsewhere.

You don't have to be a journo and you don't have to uphold journalistic ethics. If you are new to the caper we have members that offer support and guidance to assist you.

Sign up for a game. It can be a challenging but it's very rewarding. Your article gets posted on the Newsnow feed and can be read by blues (and opposition supporters) all over the world!

All you need to do is start a thread with the preview and it gets looked after from there. But for now, just submit which game you'd like to do.

Hello boys and girls to see I had been waiting for this all summer would not be an understatement.

I won't be monopolising this like I did last season as writing these previews has landed me a gig as Press Officer of West Didsbury & Chorlton of the NWCFL Premier Division and i've got my hands full writing their programme, maintaing their website with content and writing match reports for the South Manchester Reporter.

So just a thanks to all you people who read what I wrote last season and gave me feedback and those excellent people who put this site together. :-)

Right stick me down for Le Toon.

Cheers

Rob

Congratulations Bobby, good for you. See guys and gals, stepping up to do this can lead to great things.

Great to have some new names sign up too. Remember, if you need some guidance and support, just drop me a PM and I'll see what I can do. Slim gave me some great advice when I started doing these so keep him in mind too.

Hmm, might be a bit of a gamble giving preview rights to members with only 20 posts between them I reckon .... #youdecide

I've often thought about it tbh but alas I'd only cut and paste one from the previous season ;)

Right then, we'll take the gamble then. But your point is noted. For the newbies, please throw your weight around on the forum so we know you aren't a nuthob. :-)

barryconlonsbaldspot's first post was a preview and made a fine contribution to them second half of the season.

Might be good to have some fresh less-jaded blood to do it!

Cheers lads, the list has been updated. Remember, if you aren't going to be able to do it, let us know ASAP so that someone else may be able to fill the breach.
