Paul Tomkins. We’ve won awards. The site has grown, year on year, in terms of the number of paying customers.

By Paul Tomkins. The following is a message for all subscribers, explaining why I’m taking a month off from all work in November – although the site will run as normal. Please print it out, and then, for security reasons, eat it.
Official LFC Site As you may have seen, I am back writing for the official Liverpool website. While not everyone will agree with how the club is being run, I am confident that it’s in much better shape than when Gillett and Hicks were driving it into oblivion, which was a key factor in resigning [...]
Welcome to the Shiny New TTT! Finally, The Tomkins Times gets relaunched with added bells, whistles and gongs.

As I somewhat inappropriately announced on Twitter (in that, regrettably, I did so before telling those concerned – occupational habit of Twitter, it seems, as Messrs Bent and Babel can attest to) – I have opted to no longer write for the club’s official website.
As you may have noticed, the site has been evolving in recent weeks, with the addition of several high-quality guest writers and a new appearance for the home page. The idea is that I provide the same amount of content as before (one original piece a week, minimum), but that on other days the site has articles from a variety of high-quality contributors – to help make the £3.50 a month for TTT even better value for money.
The Tomkins Times is 6-months old today. Here I discuss some ideas to help improve the site in the coming months.
