As we strive to make next season’s matchday programme bigger and better than the last we have opened up an opportunity for you the fans to have a big input into the publication.

This year’s programme will have the usual exclusive interviews, features, photo-stories and player profiles but we have also reserved quite a bit of space for a feature we are calling Fanzone.

It’s a pretty self-explanatory concept, the fans basically have carte blanche to fill three pages every week in the programme.

The kind of things we are looking for are the usual standard stuff, for example we will be running a piece called Dream Team, where you pick a favourite 11 players, favourite kit, favourite manager, favourite games and goals from history etc.

We are also looking for North End related stories either from the past or present, for example if we are playing Sheffield Wednesday you may have a particularly good story to tell of a previous game against the Owls.

We are also putting aside some space for fans photographs. So many of you take photographs at games these days and it seems such a shame to see them confined to photo-libraries on internet sites, send us your best ones each week and we will publish them in the programme.

We will also be following the progress of PNE-Online FC, they are a fans team who have done remarkably well in their first season of competition so far and hopefully next season will be just as good.

Basically this is your platform, you can send us absolutely anything at all and if it is good and we have got the space we will use it. Questions, queries, messages for particular players or even the boss, absolutely everything will be considered.

Reading the fans forum we know that there is absolutely loads of talented writers, photographers and designers out there and this is your opportunity to see some of that work in print.

If you have photos or stories which may be ready for print then you can email us at editor@pne.com. We are also looking for ideas or suggestions, not only for the Fanzone piece but the match programme, the website and our media output in general. Let us know what you want and we will endeavour to deliver it.

Many Thanks

Matt Morris and Becky Ashton
