Club Insider Companion
A matchday and transfer-window companion tuned for supporters of mid-table and second-tier clubs who feel ignored by the Premier League media machine, with curated news, lineup leaks, and a supporter-group chat for every fixture.
Supporters of mid-table Premier League and lower English Football League clubs who want deeper coverage than national outlets provide
- Per-club news feed pulling from local beat journalists, fan forums, and club social channels so smaller clubs surface stories the BBC skips
- Transfer intelligence card showing comparable moves at similar clubs, contract benchmarks, and fees paid by sides in the same revenue tier
- Matchday mode with predicted XI, referee history against the club, and a supporters-only chat that opens two hours before kickoff
- Push alerts tuned to the user's club so the noise from the 'big six' never appears
A confirmed permanent signing at Everton is trending because transfer news for mid-table clubs travels through fragmented sources, and fans feel they are the last to know compared to the big-six news cycle.
Real demand exists — NewsNow, TransferFeed, Transfermarkt, and All Football already aggregate Everton/EFL transfer news to large user bases, and The Lower Tiers fills a niche for EFL coverage, but the idea targets only mid-table/lower-tier fans, a narrower subset than the broad aggregators serve.The Lower Tiers - Home Of The EFL ↗Everton News | Everton Transfer Rumours | Breaking News ↗
Crowded free aggregator space — All Football (millions of users), Goal.com, LiveScore, NewsNow, TransferFeed, Transfermarkt, plus the official free Premier League app already cover news, transfers and scores across all clubs including mid-table.All Football - News & Scores - Apps on Google Play ↗Download Official Premier League Football App 2025/26 ↗
Football fan apps are overwhelmingly free with ads or freemium; the official PL app is free, and competing aggregators are free — paying a subscription for a club-specific companion with chat faces strong resistance when free NewsNow/transfer feeds already exist.Download the official Premier League app ↗
Football fandom and transfer-window cycles are perennial and highly durable; EFL/PL clubs play weekly season after season for over a century with no disruption horizon visible.
Aggregating public news feeds and scores is straightforward, but curated 'lineup leaks' and per-fixture supporter group chats require ongoing editorial sourcing and active moderation, raising ongoing cost and ops burden.Fan Engagement Showdown: Championship vs League One vs League Two ↗
