Frozen Steel Birthday Post

Happy 1st Birthday to us!

So guys it’s been a year since the Frozen Steel Blog became reality and we made our first post!

It was Editor Liam McCausland who came up with the idea to start the blog and it was just after we had been to the NIC after a 6-1 defeat at the hands of the Panthers. We started as a team of three in Liam, Myself (Tom) and Alan and this is a quick quote off what Liam put in the About FSB on our website about how we got together.

“Due to my Geographic’s situation, I can’t attend every game – the cost would just be too much. I felt it was necessary for me to find somebody who does go to every game and sees the team week in week out, to add some legitimacy to what was being posted. I turned to a man I met at the 2013 playoff weekend, whose in-depth updates had kept me in time with what happened at many a game. Tom Walkeden was on board. Around this time, a certain angry auburn-haired gentleman was causing quite a stir from what he had to say on an episode of Cats’ Whiskers TV. I need that fire, that passion, the amount of love on the blog, and so Alan Claringbold joined the team.”

That is how the original three got together and from three we became 8 over the year and that’s isn’t including the pieces we’ve done involving the Academy, Steeldogs etc. as well as Steelers D man Cullen Eddy contributing so in the space of a year we grew immensely and are getting bigger we have the Furnace to really kick start we also have the Forum and off-course the match night live account @FrozenSteelMNL ran by Alan and not to mention updates @TomWalkeden like always.

Been part of this blog has gave me so much, not only has it helped me to meet new friends but I’ve learnt skill in writing and before I joined the blogs I did updates anyway and now my updates are in demand. Appreciate the support guys! I didn’t hesitate in joining the blog and I don’t regret a single second of it look at what we’ve achieved in such a short time so imagine where we can be in a few years. I know every member of the team feels this way otherwise we wouldn’t do what we do. The best part of this when our work is noticed not just by other Steelers fans but fans across the league as well as other well-known blogs.

We thank you for your continued support and hope that you continue to support and read what we have to say and why not have a go get in contact, write a piece, be on the Furnace loads to look forwards guy it’s been an amazing first year and you’ve all been amazing with us so once again thank you again!

Here is too many more years!
And once again Happy Birthday to us!
