What type of writing skills do I need?

You don't need any skills of any kind, you just need a passion for football.

Is this opportunity open to anyone?

Yes, whether you're male, female, professional journalist, or some bloke who sits in a back alley with wifi access, you're welcome to apply. You don't even need to be a Bolton Wanderers Fan, if you've got something to say - we'd like to hear it!
