The Lower Tiers Journey
In August 2021, our founder started posting from a new X (Twitter at the time) account, The Lower Tiers, to help put his skills that he had learnt by being a sports journalism student to use. As huge fans of EFL football, we have always felt that it deserved more coverage because of its constant drama, weird but wonderful stories and community feel.
The account then became well-received and our founder discovered a real enjoyment in doing it so he decided to build a presence on Instagram and teach himself how to use Photoshop. This helped give The Lower Tiers a more professional look. Again, our founder loved making posts for Instagram and he still continues to do so.
After almost four years of The Lower Tiers, it’s time to make the next step. This website is a simple blog to start off with but we aim to make it the go-to place for fans of EFL clubs to come for news, in-depth articles, live scores and more.
This will be made possible by finding aspiring sports journalists and giving them the opportunity to publish articles for what will hopefully be a large audience. With our founder being a sports journalism graduate himself, he understands how vital experience and is also keen to give back to the industry.
