The Scottish Rugby Blog is now one of the leading sources for independent coverage of (and opinon on) Scottish Rugby, and we feel it can grow with your help, to try and spread awareness of this game that we all love at home and across the world.
If you are interested in contributing an article to the blog on a one-off or regular basis please get in touch, as there is still much that we cannot cover that we would like to, or even if you would just like to make a comment or suggestion.
In particular we’d be interested in hearing from English/Welsh/Irish/French supporters who have exiled Scotland players at their local club eg Northampton, Gloucester, Toulon, London Irish etc, as well as someone to cover the rise of London Scottish. Anyone interested in covering the woman’s/junior/age-grade/schools game in Scotland would also be more than welcome, as would travelogue pieces relating to Scottish Rugby.
During the busy periods (Six Nations, World Cup) our regular writers are welcome to chip in on those areas too and help out with our roundtable “discussions”.
Don’t Beat Us, Join Us
If you think “oh those SRBlog guys are rubbish, I could do better”, why not join in with us instead of setting up your own site? Here’s why:
- Scottish Rugby Blog is already set up and hosted, so it costs you nothing but your time.
- Scottish Rugby Blog already has a good network of contacts, and is already recognised in the rugby world.
- Scottish Rugby Blog has a strong online presence in the search engines (try typing “Scottish Rugby” into Google. Your articles have more chance of reaching a wider audience.
In short, we’re stronger together and all opinions (rugby-related ones anyway) are welcome under our umbrella , covering all areas of the game.
We can’t offer any money at this stage I’m afraid as the site doesn’t generate much ad revenue as yet and I don’t really want to plaster it in adverts more than it is, but a revenue sharing scheme for the authors will be considered in future (if I can find the right plugin!). Of course full credit would be given where due, links to your own site, twitter in your bio etc and you’d be part of a team trying to help Scottish rugby grow.
While the tone of the site is firmly irreverent, we still try to stick to good standards of writing and professional behaviour in our articles, so that being associated with the site is hopefully a good thing for your CV!
In the first instance enquiries along with a sample post (or an idea for one) if possible should be sent to rory{at}scottishrugbyblog.co.uk
Please only suggest rugby related articles, not thinly veiled advertisements for gambling websites. We will sometimes accept charity related articles as long as there is a clear rugby connection.
