Sunday 14 October - TV Shorts: Roann Ghosh - 'I'm just writing to clarify, as discussed, what information I'd be very grateful for. Myself and a colleague are preparing a pitch for a series of TV shorts examining the quirkier things at football grounds. A good example of this is the toilet seat that Bill Shankley used to sit on that is on display at Huddersfield town FC. As you can see - I'm after really RANDOM things - the more ridiculous the better really. If across your travels either you, or any of your website users have come across any such things I'd be very interested to hear about them! They don't necessarily have to be top clubs (although top-flight clubs are great too!) even non-league clubs are fine if the story is strong enough and the characters involved would have a real interest to a national audience. Appreciate any help at all! (WebEd - see also posting from 08/10 below with contact).
