The idea for The Away Section came about in 2015.
This website arose out of another website dealing which dealt with similar football themes in 2008.
Before that there was a simple creator blog that had visitor numbers which reached into six figures yearly.
Come 2025 it will have been 10 years since this website got up and running. Throw in adjoining tools like Facebook, You Tube, Twitter, Instagram and a host of other add on’s and the amount of pictures uploaded and stories shared counts into 10,000’s.
33 different countries visited; countless derby matches from the more recognisable to the obscure but its time for change.
Its NOT a question of growth.
Yes, change is unavoidable, and as with life its just a natural part of the cycle of life we all face. The means behind change can be initiated by us or by outside forces, and it can be expected or unexpected.
Thankfully for this website change is a choice. Things are all bright and healthy but change is not unexpected in fact its been on the cards for the whole of 2024.
Namely, the time is now for another approach as it just feels the right thing to do.
Technology is constantly evolving as are publishing or ‘creator’ opportunities. The tools to create are as accessible as the fruit we buy on a supermarket shelf.
Maintaining the status quo of this website is no longer an option.
In 2025 a new The Away Section will appear with links to critical social media tools but with a new appearance one less bogged down with links to articles.
Stories will be told but just in a different way whether in print or online.
Fanaticism, Colour, Passion and Originality!
