A Non-niche start Fo(u)r a Niche Blog…

Well, time to get started then... To some considered to be the actual hardest part in the process. The main advice I’ve been given as I decided to start a blog has been to find “a niche”. As I obviously already knew my topic it was nothing that really affected me though. I’m not sure whether it fits in to the description or that I follow that advice. Hopefully it keeps me entertained at least, which in some way is the only chance of making it interesting to anyone else as well.

What I also do know, apart from finding “a niche”, is that a first post that involves discussing the actual difficulties of writing your first post is not very unique. Following up that with a standard introduction is most likely the most “non-niche” start possible. But that is what I will do now...

A little something about me: My name is Alexander and I’m in my mid20s. Apart from a period living in Paris I spend my whole life in Stockholm. Up until this year that is when I moved to London. I work in financial services and spend the majority of my spare time with interests related to either football or music.

I’ve actively followed Hammarby IF for all my life and Manchester City FC for about half of it. With Hammarby I had no choice. My dad repeatedly tells me that still to this very day. For those who don’t know they’re not really known for winning. With Man City I did have a choice. Somewhere around the time they got relegated to Division 2 I became fascinated, typically enough. Although I don’t really want to admit it the Gallagher-brothers also had an impact.

A little bit about the blog: I basically decided to cover a combination of two interests of mine; football and finance. The main focus for this blog will be on English football, but other areas will be discussed too. My aim is to incorporate a mix of shorter news on the topic with more (hopefully) in-depth analysis and combing interesting facts with subjective thoughts. But we will see…

… Well, time to finish it off then... As I thought this wasn’t a very original start. On a positive note though, I didn’t actually find it that hard to getting it down. Might also just be that I took the easy way out not finding any original way of starting it. However, my aim will have to be to improve that for future posts to keep myself “niche”…
