    I always said from day one it would be inclusive. I'd never done anything like that in 40 years before WSB. Got one C at school in PE.

    Ideally 1000 words on a football related topic of your choice. Ownership, TV rights, Wages. Anything that's relevant really.

    Remember EyUp & Down is for charity. Was planning the pages last night for the first season issue. Upto now with 3-4 weeks til deadline there's 6-8 pages to fill. 1000 words fits nicely on a 2 pager.

    Reply or pm if you fancy a go. It'd be good if at least one does. I've plenty of back 'generic' pages I could use but be better if someone wants a bash at an present subject.

    Goo on. Dare thi.

    The condition is you have to pick one of the subjects being discussed on the front page of the BBS today. Your choice of Eyup and Down subjects are:

    What do lot stick up your arse
    Accidently watching porn x2
    The Royal Families' contribution to GDP
    Nudgers Bridge
    The Shame of voting Tory

    What will it be :)

    B0ll0cks, I've got 650 words on Scottish independence and that's now on page two. I'd already screwed up my report on Lawrence Fox, as he'd slipped to page 3.

    An overview of all current Prem U23 players with double-barrelled names and how they would transform Barnsley, aged 18 and with a League Cup sub appearance?

    I find it rather liberating and it makes me feel important and intellectual or sommet

    I'm not sure you could limit an article on any of those subjects to 1000 words. Nudger's Bridge would be like War And Peace!

    I'm in @Cunning Stunt if you want a socio political article that links music / football / politics / history.

    Probably not, but you could reject it. I've a lot on at the moment, so not sure I could make a deadline before the end of September to do it justice.

    No politics, religion, music. It's in my original constitutional thing I wrote. Thanks for the offer though.

    Issue #9 Nov time. Have a think. Cheers.
