Happy New Year From The Steele Sports Bar!
Wishing you all the most incredible year ahead. Plus, discussing some big plans for TSSB over the next 12 months...
Happy New Year!
I hope you all had a wonderful night celebrating and ringing in the New Year.
And, for those of you who enjoy an adult beverage or two, I hope you aren’t struggling with a bad head too much today.
May I also take this opportunity to wish all of my readers, subscribers and everyone who supports the website a healthy, happy and prosperous 2025.
I hope this year is a truly special one for you all.
On that note, I am certainly hopeful that the next year will be a special one here at The Steele Sports Bar.
As I mentioned yesterday, last year wasn’t one I’ll be in a hurry to tell the grandkids about one day. It started out on a bum note thanks to an illness that caused absolute chaos in my life, before escalating into a particularly nasty bout of depression that engulfed much of my year. So, yes, I am not mad one bit that 2024 is now in the rearview mirror.
However, the one overriding positive to emerge from the wreckage of last year was the fact that we continued to see incredible growth here at The Steele Sports Bar. Our subscriber and follower base both swelled significantly, particularly in the latter part of the year. And that was without much consistency on my part as it pertained to writing and being active. We’re heading into the New Year with our community bigger and more special than it has ever been before.
Therefore, I am filled with nothing but hope, excitement and anticipation for the coming days, weeks and months. With last year - and all of its associated struggles - well and truly behind me, I can confidently promise you now that you will get the best version of me throughout 2025. And, as a result of that, you will get more from this website and newsletter than ever before.
I have so much planned for this year, and I’ll post more about that at some point this week. After months and months of playing around with things and implementing little tweaks here and there, I’m finally happy with the site’s identity and the kind of content I want to deliver to you on a daily basis. Also, at some point this year I will have some Steele Sports Bar merchandise to sell, and maybe even to giveaway in competitions. I’m still working through some logistics, but the first designs look really, really cool and we’ll be starting with hoodies, trucker caps, mugs and t-shirts. If the demand is there, we’ll expand into other areas. If there is any merchandise you’d like to see us sell, let me know and we can discuss it.
All in all, there is so much to look forward to and I just know that 2025 will be our biggest year yet. This will be the year that, together, we really put The Steele Sports Bar on the map.
So, with that, enjoy the rest of your New Year’s Day and, for those of you still feeling a little worse for wear, get some greasy fast food and substance down you. That will help.
Thank you for reading, thank you for following, thank you supporting and, from the bottom of my heart, thank you all for opting to come along for the ride.
It’s going to be an unforgettable 12 months.
