I have done a chapter called The Final Siren, which basically explains how the written story
media cover football.
And there's a real camaraderie there that, as I said, when everyone is in the same boat, the siren goes and all of a sudden it's quiet in the box and everyone's got their heads poised these days over the laptops.
and someone will throw up a line, what's so-and-so's age, and next minute there will be a call down the line, and thanks, and everyone just keeps going.
And if it's a close finish to the game, there's as much tension in the box as there is in the coach's box, I'm sure, because you've only got a certain amount of time to get the story into the office before they go to press, and they would be waiting on that football report.
