Hello, folks.
Over the last few weeks, we’ve had to take some really difficult decisions here at Scheidt’s HQ, none more so than the decision on our direction for the future. We tried a few different ideas, considered some things that we thought might differentiate us a bit more from the other football blogs out there but it soon became clear that it wasn’t going to work.
The time has come for us to close our doors and allow our writers to move on to other projects and the green, green grass on the other side of the community football pitches.
This last year and a bit has been an absolute whale of a time. Occasionally frustrating and occasionally downright infuriating but we’ve always tried to view the football world through fresh eyes and we hope that, at least on occasion, we’ve managed to make you laugh, make you think or even just really pissed you off. Those are the things (with less emphasis on the last one) that we set out to do and we hope that you’ve enjoyed being along for the ride.
I’m not going to bore you all with some long soliloquy about why the site is closing or what our future plans are because, for all intents and purposes, I’m not sure that matters. All that matters is that we thank you, the reader, for supporting us during the time we’ve been online. You’ve been really great and we appreciate it.
For me personally, I’d like to say thank you to anyone who has ever written for us or appeared on our podcast. For a start, this would have been a hell of a lot harder without you but I’ve also had a great time reading your articles and helping you in what little ways I could.
So, from all at Scheidt’s Footballing Miscellany, we bid you a fond farewell.
Michael Park
