A department graduate has set up a website providing detailed analysis of games in the Football League.

Mike Holden, who graduated with a degree in Journalism in 2005, recently launched his site www.fillyourboots.co.uk
which provides match previews and analysis on selected Coca Cola Championship, League One and League Two matches throughout the football season.

His aim is to create a place to bring together fans of all 72 Football League teams and the growing betting community.

Mike said: ìI spend all week reading local newspapers from all over the country to find information about the teams and to build up a picture. Teams outside of the Premiership donít get enough coverage nationally and I hope Fill Your Boots can become a place that those with a passion for the Coca Cola League can come together.î

Betting

Mike has always been interested in football betting and started to take it more seriously several years ago. He also works on a freelance basis for sports website Sporting Life and its sister site Betting Zone. Mikes ìNet Gainsî tipping service has just been launched by Betting Zone which they described as a ìhugely successful premium football tipping serviceî that already includes 21 write ups on pre-season tips offs covering the Championship, League One and League Two.

Mike commented: ìAs a lot of my work is betting related I found I had surplus information from my research that was being wasted and so a website is the ideal way to utilise it.î

He hopes to develop the site as much as possible over the coming season and already has extra writers in mind. Mike considers some coverage of lower league football to be ìpatronisingî and hopes his approach will be refreshing and enable the site to become a success.

He added: ìIíve wanted to set up this website for a long time and it wouldíve been easy to let it fall by the wayside. So far Iím really pleased with how itís going and Iím thriving off the work Iím doing. At the moment itís a labour of love but maybe in the future it could evolve into a profitable venture.î
