Quote: Jake the Peg "So if the problem is a lack of contributors then why not ask for volunteers? Maybe rotate things like match reports? . Have half a dozen people give their views on next season etc.'"
The thing I found was particular when I started bnw.co.uk was that everyone was always up for volunteering but not many actually went ahead with there promises. That is not to say to tar everyone with the same brush but yeah its not always as easy as just asking for volounteers.
Rotating match reports will never work, tried that before any sometimes due to people having internet access or time to write a match report it meant sometimes they were given to me as late as 5 days after a game. That is why I would always advise going down the route of giving that job to one sole person.
Without trying to come in and take over
I reckon the best way to setup is to have all the different categories we'd be covering over the season and see if anyone wants to take on that column on a weekly basis.
For example have a match reporter, match previewer, match photographer, weekly updates on rumours (to avoid having to trawl through 40 page threads), breaking news reporter and maybe even some others to give wilf a run for his money.
That's my opinion anyway, I urge people not to be shy and if you want to have a go just step forward i'm sure Joe will take all the help on offer.
