    I was asked by a few members to run one of these again,basically in an effort to encourage more 'substantial content' on the forum I ran one of these back in 08 and I have to say it was a great success.I believe we have a lot of top notch posters on this site and we need to do what we can to help grow this element of the forum,to give you an idea of the great standard of posters we have here is a link to the final of the first one The Great Soccer Forum Write Off (The Final)

    How it works
    Users volunteer to write an article on any soccer subject (750 words max),they then PM the articles to me and I put them up anonymously for the forum to vote on,the identities are only revealed once the vote is over.

    I cannot workout the structure ontill I know how many entry's we will get but it may well be 2 rounds so you may have to do another article.I would appreciate it if anybody who is going to enter send me a PM letting me know,this is not a requirement but it will help me get a feel for the numbers and work on a structure.

    Rules
    *750 words max
    *Entries to be submitted to me by Monday 1st of August.

    Can only Ian Wright revile them or can we all have a go?

    Any chance it could be 1,000 words? Or a target of 750 - 1000 even, just 750 isn't a whole heap to work with :(

    People will have had more than enough of me telling them they're stupid after 750 I'd say :pac:

    That's fine,but we will have to limit it to 1000 max.
