The Squall supports freelance writers during the Covid-19 crisis. For it to continue supporting this community we need people to buy the magazine every month. We recommend £3, but if that’s a stretch or, conversely, if you can afford more, then whatever’s possible is very welcome. You can pay directly into The Squall’s bank account (sort code 40-05-17 and account number 71515942) or via PayPal at paypal.me/thesquall. Thank you to those of you who have already donated. Your contributions have certainly helped!
It’s been three months since the first issue of The Squall blew into town, and we’re delighted to release Issue Four.
In this strangest of summers – familiar rhythms replaced with an uncertain emergence from lockdown and the dying embers of a football season more protracted than Mike Ashley’s overlordship of the Toon – we’ve assembled a reassuringly excellent and eclectic collection of articles.
Our theme this time is ‘Red’.
Emile Avanessian analyses Sergio Ramos and the artistry of reds, Alex Hess traces the Premier League’s history via reds, and Michael Yokhin interviews the unfortunate Rubén de la Red. There’s much more too.
Read Issue Four today for a recommended donation of just £3 – if that’s a stretch then pay what you can afford; conversely, if you can afford more, then every extra penny is welcome.
All donations are a massive contribution towards helping The Squall continue and thereby providing an extra economic and creative freelance opportunity.
We hope you enjoy this fourth issue, and thanks again for your continued support.
