Your Wednesday: the stories we want to tell

Ask somebody about their first Wednesday match and the score may be the least certain detail. The journey, the person beside them or the moment they first saw the pitch can be easier to recall. Those are the stories we would like to hear.

Your Wednesday is our invitation to supporters to help shape this publication. We want to write about the experience around the football, including the parts that rarely make a match report.

Perhaps you travel a long way for home games. Perhaps work, cost or health means you now follow from a distance. You might have a family tradition, a matchday routine that has survived several decades, or a memory of someone who made the club part of your life. An ordinary detail can be the strongest place to begin.

We are also interested in what has changed. What would make attending easier? What do new supporters find confusing? What gets lost when the conversation about fans starts and ends with a crowd total? There is room here for affection and for criticism.

Send a short outline to editor@thewednesdaypress.co.uk with Your Wednesday in the subject line. Tell us what the story is, roughly when it happened and why it has stayed with you. A few paragraphs are enough; there is no need to turn it into a finished article.

Send text only at this stage, and leave out private details about other people, especially children. Tell us whether you would prefer an initial conversation without your name being published.

An email is a starting point, not automatic permission to publish it. We will agree attribution and permission before using a contribution. Where a memory contains a factual claim we can check, we will check it. Some stories may need a follow-up conversation; we cannot promise to publish every submission.

A good place to start is one small question: what is the detail about following Wednesday that you would want someone else to remember?
