Welcome to Nutmeg: new season, new storytelling

Today marks the launch of a new digital version of your favourite football magazine. We want you to be a part of it - straight from the kick-off

Hello Nutmeg supporter,

Welcome to this new way of receiving the very best stories about football, made in Scotland.

You are reading this because you have already shown your support by signing up to our regular round-ups. Now, we want to give you more… More of the Nutmeg stories you love, straight to your inbox: original thinking and high-quality audio at least twice a week.

These digital dispatches will come to you via the brilliant publishing platform Substack. However, these is no need to download an app or click a link – just look out for regular arrivals in your email inbox.

Content coming your way will include:

• A new podcast, My Sporting Hero

• Topical columns from players (Ryan Gauld makes his Nutmeg debut this month) and journalists (Graham Hunter on Spain’s Euro win this month, then Henry Winter in September)

• The Nutmeg Mysteries, uncovering strange episodes in our game’s past (How close did Cruyff come to signing for Dumbarton?)

• And fascinating rummages into football finance with Sporting Intelligence’s Nick Harris, one of the best investigative sports journalists in the world

First though, will come the glamour: my words on Airdrieonians versus Raith Rovers, a ‘slow match report’ with a difference, the first of a monthly series, coming your way on Monday.

For the first couple of months it will all be free. After that, we will introduce a paid tier – because great content costs money. We want to make this digital version of Nutmeg the home for world-class football writing, made in Scotland – and we hope you will come on that journey with us.

New storytelling for the new season. We hope you like the sound of that.

Daniel Gray
Editor, Nutmeg magazine.
