Well the new WSL is fast approaching, the FAWNL & Championship is in full swing and here at Edge of the Area we are looking forward to posting a whole lot more content than usual, this is the season where coverage is taken up a notch and posts become a lot more frequent. It is definitely going to be a busy season as not only have we renewed our season tickets at Manchester United Women but we are also hoping to get to more games from the FAWNL and even the Championship if there are no game clashes. I am also back playing again which takes up a fair bit of time however, we are hopeful that with a little bit of planning and more organisation we can balance playing and watching and produce even more content than we have previously. 

There is plenty of content in the works and the plan is to be posting to the blog every Monday through to Friday, who knows there might be the occasional weekend post too if it does get really busy with content building up. So here is the type of content you can expect to be seeing..

Match previews

If there are any particular games that we are going to or are planning on watching via the TV coverage then we will be aiming to get a preview up for those games. One preview per week is the aim however, who knows if it is a particular good week for accessibility to games there may be more than one preview going live that particular week. These posts will just give a little snap shot and background of the game before it takes place.

Match reports

The games that have been previewed will be followed up with a match report too with the full low down of how each of those games went. Match reports have been a long time favourite of ours so we are definitely looking forward to increasing the amount of these we write this season. We will definitely be writing reports of those games we go to watch but also any we manage to catch on the TV so we should be doing plenty of these.

Interviews

The interviews are finally coming back. We are finally at the stage where we can carry out more interviews so keep an eye out for them coming to the blog across the course of the season. There will be a nice mix of interviews too from players and managers, if all goes to plan there will be a nice mix of levels of the game being highlighted too. We are definitely looking forward to getting stuck into these interviews.

Opinion pieces are back

Another type of content that is coming back are the opinion pieces. It has been a while since we have done these types of posts as they are definitely time consuming however, we are ready to bring them back and thankfully the game recently has led to plenty of ideas being put in place for future topics. No doubt there will be plenty more goings on throughout the season too to add to the growing list of topics.

International as well as domestic games

We have neglected the International game in recent years in all honesty however, this year we are planning to provide a lot more International coverage as well as the coverage of the domestic game. This might be a big focus on the Lionesses however, we will try bring other nations in too when it is needed. There is actually a fair bit of Lionesses content planned this month so keep an eye out for that. 

Halifax Friendly Belles content

It would be rude for me not to include the team I am playing for in my content wouldn't it. With the season now underway you can expect to see plenty of Belles related content on the blog and definitely on social media. The main posts will be match reports from games I have played in but no doubt other topics will crop up as the season goes on too. 

So there you have it those are the main pieces of content you can expect to see over the course of this season which is bound to keep us busy. With how teams are building their squad there should be plenty of topics for us to cover, we are now just at that stage where we want the WSL to kick off so we can see what this season has in store for us. Alongside more blog content get ready for plenty more social media content too with live tweeting of games and plenty of Instagram & TikTok content in the works.

Now lets get this seasons content underway...
