Hello
Somehow The Price of Football is on the shortlist for Fan Media of the year in the Football Supporters Association awards.
For those not familiar with it, originally [MENTION=6886]Bozza[/MENTION] bought the domain name and suggested to me that we use it as a football finance blog site, and it has been putting up occasional posts there for the past 6-7 years. On the back of that there is now a Twitter feed, podcast and book of the same name, that covers the same topics.
The book is not a page turner, is full of DULLNESS but somehow has had five reprints and a second edition is due out in a couple of weeks, a sign of how bored people have been during the lockdown. Rather foolishly I agreed to give away 100% of the royalties of the first edition to the Trussell Trust, a leading foodbank charity, confident that the book would sell a few dozen copies, so I wouldn't be losing too much. Like Colin Hawkins defending a cross into the Albion penalty box, I got that spectacularly wrong.
If you would like to vote for The Price of Football we'd be delighted and humbled, equally if you think I'm a complete arse you can take great delight in voting in the same category for something related to Arsenal, Leeds or Liverpool etc.
If we don't win I will of course claim that the vote has been stolen and blame Kevin Day, the Crystal Palace co-presenter of the podcast,
