The Gardeners' World Blog

At Football Focus we’re planning to make a film looking at football grounds old and new. I thought this blog might be a good way of asking what you think about clubs moving about?

Is it for the better? Is it just a financial necessity? Or is it eroding some of the history of the game?

I’m the Series Editor of Football Focus and I'm the latest author to join the cast list writing regularly on this blog.

As you know, Focus goes out on BBC1 on a Saturday .. so what do I do for the rest of the week you ask? Well, typically on a Tuesday morning I chair the Focus meeting. John Motson, Jonathan Pearce, Steve Wilson, Garth Crooks and Mark Bright gather with the rest of the production team to chat through what we should put in the weekend’s show.

I then have to choose which stories to commission off the back of this often excitable, always entertaining session. Ideally, at least one of our interviews will become the lead story on the BBC Football website come Friday.

By Friday afternoon, Mark Lawrenson will pitch up to tell me that I’ve picked all the wrong things.
