Hi,

And a warm MyFootballWriter welcome to Patreon.com - your chance to show your support for our wonderful community of Norwich City supporters and writers.

For the last 13 years they have come together after every Canary match to swap stories and opinions in a safe and positive environment.

To create such a special environment costs money, however, and in the face of a tough advertising climate we have decided to ask you to join us as members - patrons as well as financial partners in this grand escapade.

So for as little as the price of half a pint of beer, readers will be asked to dip into their pockets and support MyFootballWriter directly.

Four monthly membership tiers will allow people to contribute as little or as much as they see fit. If just one reader in 20 went for the lowest -priced model – the $3 a month Patron option – so MyFootballWriter would be £1,000 better off and in a far better position to pursue its many ambitions after 13 successful years reporting on all things Norwich City.

For that, we hope to guarantee the survival of MyFootballWriter.com for the foreseeable future - that it not only survives but thrives with your support and commitment. With the guaranteed revenue this monthly membership model will bring, we can introduce new formats, expand our video offering after the success of our Stuart Webber interview, whilst all the time encouraging the next generation of Canary football writers to spread their wings across our site in front of our local audience now up to 12,000-strong.

It will give our Editor Gary Gowers the breathing space he deserves after his inspiring time at the helm giving Norwich City the kind of Premier League fan site its supporters deserve.

If just 500 of you could find your way to becoming a patron - less than 5% of our monthly readership - then that would take us a long, long way towards a rich and vibrant future for MyFootballWriter.com in which all have a little stake.

Yours,

Rick Waghorn
