Tomkins Times

"However, charging for the 'privilege' . He should rename that site the Tomkins Wallet."

Sorry boys but Tomkins has a right to an income and if people are willing to pay to read his work then fair enough.

Also TOOR what new site are you referring to?
----------------------------------
Oh yes Fred, I agree, Tomkins has the right to charge, it's his job afterall, however I would never pay for his opinions.

I'm referring to the new site the Admins here are working on. Apparently it's going to be less Brendan's 4-3-3 and more great articles to be debated on, whilst being moderated to keep out the idiots. With various stories and transfers gossip etc.

Great idea in my opinion.

I've always hoped they'd do something like that.

Create a website for articles on the back of this one - cherry picking the best articles written on here and publishing them on a new website.

I don't think that's their main idea, however I do believe there should be an element of that.

Thanks for your views chaps .

Has anyone offered to contribute to new site?

id love to as used to write and really miss it but just dont have the time... work family etc...

Tomkins is back on the LFC site this season, does an article about once a month.

I like him generally. The stat heavy ones can get a bit dull but he is an intelligent guy. He is a little biased, but he is a massive red, so is bound to be a little bit.

I wouldn't pay for his stuff personally, but I don't pay for any newspapers or online journo's. I have the Guardian app on my phone which is about £8 a year so is virtually free anyway.

I will happily write for the new site if they need/want writers.

Drop the admin an email. Sort of an application. Tell them what you've done in the past and what you can bring to it.

Haha what I've done in the past is on plain view on here
