'Local' book
« on: June 19, 2020, 09:42:35 am »
Hi all,

I'm not a frequent poster, but I'd like to come on here and say thank you. A year or so ago I asked for some support whilst writing my book 'Local' on the relationship between the club and the city. The good RAWK community obliged and gave unique answers to a few questions. It helped massively, and yesterday I found out that Local has now been shortlisted for the Telegraph Sports Book of the Year award. So thank you to everybody for your help - you really are too kind.

Take care,

Dan

Wow amazing news!

Congratulations on being shortlisted and best of luck for the final selection.

PS is it a "voted by the public" one as you do know that Liverpool fans win those everytime [emoji16]
