Anyone heard of him?
Well I just noticed him as a columnist on TW who got binned because he was more than a [Poor language removed] yesterday in reflection of the big vote.
I had a quick look at his reports on the Reading game. Seems that if the ball had crossed the line and not hit the woodwork twice, a different tale would have been told. Is this the kind of reporting we need from lets face it, a very high profile website.
Is too much freedom in this field a good thing? We can use forums to vent frustration, and quite often develop knee jerk reactions and become too emotive over certain issues, and also very often drunk while we do it.
Tony Marsh isn't alone in his quite uncalled for posts. Mr Kendrick is often found to be venting fury. I mean its not like were a [Poor language removed] side with no prospects. We even have cash at the moment and look like forming a side who I think has a great chance of Champions League football.
Now there are loads of young scamps who are getting into Everton, do they need to be reading such drivel that comes from TW? We are moving to Kirkby, and be looking at bringing in more fans, do they need to be reading such cynical [Poor language removed].
No.
So I propose that we look to develop GrandOldTeam into a similar site to TW, but less cynical and more informed. I can offer some time in the assistance in setting up a magazine style. I would even develop the framework to allow us to use several columnists to publish various articles on various subjects.
We have a wide spectrum here and we can certainly offer more than that crap over there.
The forum would remain the same, but the front end would be more magazine/newspaper style (but not Tabloid). At the moment it just serves as a front end to the forum, and I think it can do so much more.
Anyway, this is something that I have been interested in doing for a while, and will more than likely do it on another domain if there is not enough intertest here, and of course if the owners are not up for it.
I did think about PM'ng the owners, but I think this may interest quite a few here, and I just wanted to put my thoughts out there.
Think about it, we could have someone concentrating on the financial aspects of the club, one person does spring to mind. We can have Nostalgia columns by Monty or RJarvis. Blues Stateside, Blues in Japan. etc.....
We are all responsbile for the further development of the fan base, and I can't stand by and let sites like ToffeeWeb drag us through the mud.
I just think we are all fairly well informed, and have such a wide spectrum that we have a duty to put a more positive and fair reflection on the club. Of course if the club is being tossers then we can say that too, but I think realistic opinions are better than knee jerk reactions, or cynicism when it doesn't always warrant it.
Anyway, there it is. Anyone interested, if so we can talk, if the owners are interested then we can talk too.
