It's hard to believe but the new football season is nearly upon us and we wanted to hear what you think about it! This thread will be live through the whole season and we're hoping that you'll use it as a place to share your thoughts and discuss the big stories. We're not doing this on behalf of any companies as such, but we may share some of your comments (anonymously of course) with some of the football clubs as we're looking to do some more work with them on their family offerings.

This one is for Mumsnetters and Dadsnetters who are football fans - we'd like as many of you as possible to get involved. Sadly there's no prize draw for taking part but we're hoping you'll enjoy there being an official home of football chat on MN/Dadsnet (we're stickying this on the Dadsnet talk topic too).

Feel free to discuss anything on the football theme here but here are a few starters for ten:
~ After such a dramatic end to last season how do you think this season is going to pan out? Who are going to be the heroes and villains, the winners and losers?
~ How are you going to enjoy the games? Are you planning to watch on TV or go to the matches? What makes match days special for you?
~ Is it important to you and your family to have the right kit/supporters gear or not? Do you think it takes more time/money/dedication to be a 'proper' fan these days or is it the same commitment as ever!?
~ How do your children feel about professional football and footballers? Do they feel inspired? What happens when footballers are not so well behaved (on or off the pitch) - does this rub off on your little ones? Any aspiring Beckhams in your family?

If you're a MNer or Dadsnetter who likes to share your opinion, then why not join our parents research panel, for more opportunities to take part in surveys, product tests, go to events and join sponsored discussions.

Thanks in advance and you'll never walk alone!

habbibu - Helen has explained in the first paragraph - we're just picking your brains as we're hoping to work for some clubs soon.

Hi Oatybeatie - we do run a number of 'sponsored threads' which - in most cases are paid for by clients (this one isn't - it's just a brain pick/gauge to see level of interest in the topic). Sponsored threads are normally to gather tips on a topic from MNers. We know the community has great advice and tips and that for many folks, the main reason for visiting the site is to get advice and information on a wide range of topics. So whilst the companies who pay for these threads may well use these tips in other media channels, we hope they are also useful for members (for example the PelvicFloor Toner thread seemed to result in a number visiting their GP). Also we do make a massive effort to do three things: 1) clearly state what tips are going to be used for; 2) offer an incentive to as a means of saying thank you to a winner (or more than one); and 3) place the threads which are sponsored in a specific section of the site here so folks can easily see they are paid for and not just spam or snuck in somewhere.
