Any long term users of this messageboard and STFC fan of the last 20 years will know that this messageboard was an offshoot of the popular STFC fansite Blue and Amber. Well there is more to it that than, but we shall come to that...
B and A as a site died back in the mid 2000s and with it part of the history of fan written content on the internet was lost too. We had the fanzine, and this site still and that was good. Into the last 5 years we have had social media take off and give us all the instant gratification you might want, chatting with fellow fans.
But there is a place still for the written form, considered, hard hitting, funny and thoughtful words on our beloved club.
It's something I had been musing for a while, but with the Podcast and other irons in the fire could never really move on it. Over the summer I got talking to one of the Salop bloggers "Shrewrite" about the idea and we decided that we should give it ago. He's worked on the site, and content so far and I have well... not done much!
But as of this morning Blue and Amber Online was launched at the address below
blueandamber.weebly.com/
Its another string to the brand of B and A which now runs to Messageboard, Website, Twitter Profile and one day again the paper form of the fanzine. Its hoped this website will help kick start the paper fanzine again. Its hoped!
Blue and Amber Online is not proposed to be mine and Shrewites thoughts only, but those of ANYONE who loves this club, its to be a PLATFORM for anyone to submit there considered thoughts on STFC matters and get it out to the world. A home for fans written content, pictures and even video reviews. All will be coming down the line.
If you want to get involved, as many already have done today, get in contact via the website.
We have a lot of plans for the site, from content, interviews and a place to host the history of fanzines at this club, Stats... it all takes time but with a fair wind we can get there.
We also have a new Blue and Amber Logo recently designed by a fellow fan to go with it.
All in all, its something new, looking back at the past and celebrating hopefully the now!
Please give it a bookmark and check in time to time to see whats going down.
Finally, yes someone will spell check my content!
Cheers
