A former Sun sports journalist, Steve Mullen, is heading up the launch of a new weekly newspaper, Football Extra, which is aimed at people who bet on matches.
The full-colour tabloid, according to the press release, will be "packed with everything the football punter could need."
Each issue will contain a spread betting preview of every Premier League match, complete with key odds and stats, plus in-depth coverage of the Championship, Leagues One and Two, plus Scottish and non-league football.
The paper, which is being published in Liverpool, also includes betting advice on games in Europe. Its first issue, priced at £1.50, all go on sale on Thursday 7 February.
Mullen, who is leading an editorial team of 10, has a background in betting at The Sun and Raceform going back to the 1990s. He has covered racing, rugby, football and golf.
He promises that Football Extra will "present top-class analysis in an accessible way backed up by a range of key stats, form and odds."

I'm astounded - apart from now with the advent of the Internet but certainly in the past - that we don't have much in the way of sporting newspapers in the UK. Spain's biggest selling daily is a sports paper, and I suspect Italy and maybe France and Germany have other similar situations.

I think as a marketing ploy they should really push the fact that it won't feature Tony Cascarino.

I refuse to buy it unless Kevin Pullein is a contributor. I've got half a point stake burning a hole in my pocket and I simply won't risk it all without the great man's advice.

A weekly paper written early in the week with advice on betting on the weekend games. Sounds like a great idea to me!

best of luck, I'd buy it, - as long as it didn't look like the Star. There was/is another betting newspaper - was it more horses? - out in the last year or two. Don't see it anymore.
Racing & Football Outlook is an old-fashioned but reliable weekly paper. |

It's not fair. It's about time we had a paper dedicated to FOBT betting strategy.
