Hi all,
I am a journalism student in the process of compiling research towards a uni project.
The main crux of the project is a new football magazine that will cater for a more mature/educated market. The shelves are packed full of kids football magazines (Match of the Day, Match etc), and the more upmarket titles such as FourFourTwo and When Saturday Comes.
Audience is a key part of my work and I want to discover how the more mature/educated fan gets their football fix. Of course, we have great resources such as social media, forums and general football websites. But, would you want to buy such a magazine if it existed? What would you want in it? What style/tone would you expect from it?
I'm putting this out there as a sort of early motion to gather some views from real football fans, and any comments/opinions are welcome!
If you completely disagree with the idea, then please put that too. I just want to get a general feel from the football public.
Thanks!
Gary Peters
