pastyman Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 I cannot be the only football follower who misses the annual Football Special produced by the Sunday Independent. It was always interesting to see who clubs had signed or retained. The colour photographs of team line-ups was also a good feature. I gather the SUNDAY INDEPENDENT ceased this annual publication on the point of costs involved. Anyone else have thoughts on this subject? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Deacon Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 I agree. I have many a pre-season special from years back and feel it's a shame that it no longer gets published. Regrettably it would seem once again a victim of the economy. I'm comtemplating to put something together either on the website or in paper publication form, but obviously with time restraints etc, it'll never be as good as the past Football Specials that you and I remember. However, any offers of help will be gratefully received! :c: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pastyman Posted July 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 Surely the majority of the costs were in involved in photographers and journalist obtaining "editorial inches" of clubs involved. Why couldn't clubs furnish the Indy with photographs and editorial? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goldeneye Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 The thing I remember most about the SI Football Special was the number of players that were in line-ups for more than one club! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 Will miss this feature. As I now live out of the county I used to look forward to a copy beiong sent up by post. All the best on this one Dave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
