Football coverage is boring.

Every week, mainstream media gives most of the 92 clubs a match report, a score update and a manager talking about “taking the positives”.

Support a League Two club and that’s often your lot. Nobody’s asking what the away end thought. Nobody’s saying the January signing looks like he’s never seen a football before.

Fan podcasts have proved people want more than that. We want to give every club more of a voice, in writing, on video and on mic.

What Tipple is turning into

You probably know us for the prediction game: six picks a week from across the top four leagues. That’s here to stay.

But Tipple is expanding into a fan media brand: blogs, podcasts and shows covering all 92 clubs, driven by people who actually care.

People who’ll brag when they win and take the flak when they lose.

Who we’re looking for

We’re opening the door to football fans who have something to say and want somewhere to say it.

Students, graduates, aspiring journalists, established bloggers, or simply the mate in the pub who’s been right about your manager since August.

If you’ve got opinions about your club, enjoy writing and want to share your perspective with a wider audience, we’d love to hear from you.

What you get

Your own column. A place to publish your thoughts about your club, or anything else happening in football, with your name attached.

An audience. The opportunity to have your work featured and shared across Tipple’s channels.

Your own writer profile. A dedicated space on the website showcasing your articles, biography and social channels.

Your own analytics. Access to performance insights so you can see how your articles are reaching readers.

A route into wider media. As Tipple develops its podcasts and shows, contributors may have opportunities to get involved.

The honest bit

This is currently an unpaid, voluntary contributor opportunity.

There’s no minimum output, no shifts, no quotas and no obligation to submit articles. You’re free to contribute whenever you have something worth saying, and equally free to step away whenever you like.

We’re offering a platform to develop your voice, build a portfolio and reach football fans who might not otherwise come across your work.

The rules

18+ only. We want personality, strong opinions and proper football debate.

Go after clubs, owners, managers, referees and bad decisions as much as you like. Challenge conventional thinking. Disagree with each other.

Don’t cross the line into discrimination, harassment, threats or personal abuse.

Be yourself, back up your arguments and give readers something worth talking about.
