I think the specialist nature of the task narrows down your options fairly substantially.



If you're serious about it, you might want to contact the fella that does the Trinity Heritage stuff on Twitter - he seems to have a wealth of information and resources.

Some of it is that's for sure - but anyone can contribute as a writer (within reason).



But it needs an editor to pull it all together and a few meetings.



I can't see it happening but as I said if you don't ask you never know - it did work with the fanzine for a while. All I'm really offering is my expertise should anyone wish to run with it, it would be mean not too

I write a lot but I'm certainly not a writer.



I could perhaps do some proof-reading? I could correct spelling mistakes and grammatical errors with pithy, sarcastic notes in the margins?

how opportune



I've just been made redundant and start a period of 'gardening leave' tomorrow until my end date of 31/8 - my plans were to concentrate on writing, which I do in a semi-professional way - but wanted to 'up the ante' and see if I could get a serious publishing deal.



I would be up for doing this if I could get the support of the club and a few 'choice' contacts to support me with some of the raw data required (i.e. website owners, enthusiastic amateurs, the club, the express etc etc).



I could really do with having a chat with you Vasty and getting a better idea about how this could be achieved - so PM me and let's get something started

Commiserations on that - you're not Bullboy are you?!

thanks - but I really did see this as an opportunity

I've worked for the same employer for 34 years having originally come from an art/writing background - I've bored so many people to death with the "what I could have done if I'd stayed doing that and not been tied down with a full time job" that this seemed like the time to 'put up or shut up' - so it genuinely was my plan to attempt to make a career out of wrting - you can imagine my surprise when I returned from holiday on Saturday - with 1 day left to work - and saw this topic.



Bullboy!!!!!!! How very dare you

Good for you - I hope it works out!

I have all the stats for the club but it's all paperwork, I'm a contracter and everytime I get laid off I try and get this converted into spreadsheets but then something gets in the way, if you are running with this along with my old friend Vastman then I will promise to get these done, I have a load of great stuff including stuff from old committee meetings which could make for some good reading. I have been saying for years the book needs an updated version, there is an extension to the book which I think was someone's benefit program I think, anyone remember this?

I think it was Nigel bell's testimonial brouchure 1989?

Older than that, maybe Harold poyntons?

cheers - I've also got a full list of fixtures/results back to year dot and most of the detailed match information from '79 season to present - a bit lacking on scoerer info etc between '73 and '78 though - wouldn't mind comparing some notes





Is it worth you, me and Vasty meeting up for an hour before game on Sunday to have a chat?
