[Archived] Poster's Previews

[Mike E]

With a new wave of positivity around the club, I thought it'd be a good time to reboot Poster's own Match Previews!

With an International break coming after Preston, it gives posters plenty of time to think about which they'd like and how they'd do it. Some things you may like to include:

Recent form guides for both sides, head-to-head, some club history, club connections, any interesting stories/facts/factoids, fan interview, predictions, a big dollop of humour. Most importantly: Your own take on the game.

Request which you'd like below and they'll be allocated on a first come, first serve basis.

I will do Wolves away.  How much do you pay Mike?

[Mike E]

We take £50 from your account per character typed

[roverstdt]

I would be interested but I would need to check out how the old ones were done as I have a complete blank as to what the previews look like! hahaha

[Clitherover]

Great idea, I used to look forward to reading the match previews.

[K-Hod]

Put me down for the Villa home game, Mike. I know a few Villa fans from uni I could get for the preview!

They can look however you wish. I'll dig one out from an old thread as an example.

Here's mine for a Charlton game last season:

Doesn't have to be as long as that (or can be longer), but it's good to see we have posters who can post quality, if I say so myself

[Guest]

Mike, could I take Barnsley at home, please?

[Mike E]

I'll take Brighton Away

[m1st]

I used to do quite a few previews; and one of my friends is a tame Nottingham Forest fan, so please put me down for the Forest [A] game as they plummet below us towards the relegation zone!

 

It's good to see a return of the optimism which having a preview to read on here imples.

Good old Mogga!!

[darrenrover]

I'll do Brentford away Mike, already started the thread but I'll add to it in future.

Done.  Awaiting payment.  My terms are 30 days.

Mike stood down some time ago and you know both Ste and I are men with short arms and long pockets  

 

But Thanks, very much appreciated.

BTW With Mike gone, if anyone wants the thankless tasks of organising these next season  (it's really just nagging and chasing people, then pinning and unpinning threads) do let me know!

I'll put myself forward for that, Glenn!

I was trying to make your life easier (given all the mod stuff you're doing now we're light on numbers) not add to it. But thanks, until somebody else steps forward, it's all yours. Ta!

K-Hod, I'm happy to do this if you have other responsibilities. I'll have the time to organise it and my situation now gives me more free time than I've ever had!

Then yeah, feel free to take it on, thanks. I'll do a few previews over the course of the season, anyhow.

Cool, I'll sort it out.

[Mike E]

I was hoping I could still do this

[Mike E]

Please?

Yeah course! I don't want to take away from you the highlight of chasing up a Shrewsbury preview. It's all yours. 

[Mike E]

I know I can't pin and stuff, but I know the job of modding is hard enough I don't mind doing my bit

[AllRoverAsia]

Even though this thread is in plain sight people start match threads before the person doing the preview has had a chance to post first.  

If that keen maybe they can volunteer to do proper previews.

The new Bristol City thread is the latest example of this.
