Are You Not Entertained?

The humble Groundsmen discuss the Inconvenient Truth that “normal has left the building for sport”. So what now? Laser sharp analysis from the lads on the rollers. DO NOT MISS.

This week’s GoG looks at the increasingly jaw dropping events in sport, wherever you look. From the vicious hardball politics around football, to cycling doping, Nadal, unbelievable court cases, Wrexham and long-oarsmen, Wigan and liontamers, bull riding on an aircraft carriers. And much more. If you don’t laugh you’d cry.

Dame Laura Davies joins the Captain this week.  One of Great Britain’s most celebrated sportswomen - Laura was inducted into World Golf’s Hall of Fame in 2014 and is also an avid Liverpool Football Club fan.  She shares her own love of sports and who has inspired most on and off the course.

The new owner of Ospreys Rugby, James Yandle, takes us inside the tent to tell us what he’s found and where he wants to take the club, together with CVC at Pro14. Very candid, very honest. This is the reality of where sport is in 2020.
