Fancy writing the "Visitors" section of the programme?

It's a Charlton fee ie zero but the programme editor Tom Harvey is looking for a person or persons to write about each visiting club and team.
You'd have to be able to meet deadlines and write the articles on a regular basis.
As it's for the official club programme so it has to be accurate and not too controversial.
But you do get to see your name in print and you might end up as the new Olly Groome

Already been asked about this but my knowledge is Charlton only.
I do know someone who would do this but they don’t do freebies and I don’t blame that person for that

I'll do it if we draw Palace in the cup.6

Do it for nothing?
Really?
Are the programmes given away for nothing?3 -
I would have thought this will be difficult to achieve, I am certain there is virtually nobody with sufficient knowledge, and time, to do this.
Is there an angle to approach supporters via away message boards to supply info? All clubs supporters could be contacted now for a general history and breakdown of players. Tom could touch up results nearer to time of respective games.
Just a thought.2 -
I’ve seen away programmes from last season where the away team profiles page have been done by Charlton fans. It can be doneElfsborgAddick said:I would have thought this will be difficult to achieve, I am certain there is virtually nobody with sufficient knowledge, and time, to do this.

Which is fair enough.shirty5 said:Already been asked about this but my knowledge is Charlton only.

The message from Tom was "I don't suppose you know of anyone who would be up for writing or contributing to the Visitors section in the programme?"
Read that as writing about the away sides visiting the Valley but could be wrong.0 -
as an example

Always polite to say you not available or don’t have the knowledge as well, in case the question came back in reply.CharltonAthMuseum said:

Does the visiting team's programme writer not do this as a quid pro quo?0

Why don’t they contact the fans of the visiting club? I’ve written our piece for several away programmes before. And I didn’t charge.7

Looks like a lot of copy for not even a vol-au-vent in return

The reward is to share a cheese sandwich with Keohane.0

Could we not just have a standard template, just change the name of the team? Something like:
{Name of Team] are based in the town/city of [Name of Town/City] which isn't very nice, and the first thought of most people visiting the location is a strong desire to return to their homes.

I think this forum is largely of the wrong demographic to assess this opportunity!
For a young person - say, late teens - who has ambitions to work in the field of sports journalism, wouldn't doing something like this be good for their experience and also their CV ?
And unlike a lot of "internships" these days, which actually cost money, not to mention travelling expenses, this is cost neutral. Just needs a bit of internet research time and a reasonable command of English.3 -

At the very least a free season ticket.
There could be more rewards that could be affordable I imagine.6 -
Think Grapevine should do it, might have to make the programme slightly thicker though.10

Even if the reward is some hospitality, or a match where you sit in the directors box…Chizz said:
