@Charlie_Boss @netflix Good luck containing that collective excitement!

@AnotherDanCohen @premierleague @EmiratesFACup @Octagon Think this one is as much about horse trading on (very limited) calendar real estate too

[SailGP @SailGP]

OMG 😱

@SailGPNZL’s wing collapsed following racing today. Luckily all are safe and damage to the boat is currently being assessed. More details to come!

[Tom Gracey @TomGracey]

@martingrantross Absolutely Martin. FA applies to UEFA to 'block' certain designated weekends during the season, on behalf of the various stakeholders.
That said, surely this conversation would have already taken place preemptively?

[Tom Gracey @TomGracey]

Slightly struggle with this - rushing to expedite a separation from The FA, to better capitalise on a situation created by The FA 🤔

[Tom Garry @TomJGarry]

New: Understand at a meeting last week a majority of WSL clubs urged the FA to accelerate the appointment of a new independent CEO for the WSL with business experience, to try and maximise the league's commercial revenue potentials following the Euros

[Tom Gracey @TomGracey]

@CatWatson @WSeriesRacing @AngelaRuggiero @amaagbeze @bondmuir @JamieChadwick @Caitlyn_Jenner @SilverstoneUK @alicepowell Great to have you there! Glad you enjoyed it 🙌🏻 🙌🏻

@caln19_ @AndyMarstonSP The dilution point is purely on a per game basis, both in terms of value per game and perceived quality per game. I agree there will be some exceptions though and the notion of quality is subjective based on the individual fan

[Tom Gracey @TomGracey]

@AndyMarstonSP @caln19_ Very true, and then you quickly get into the whole article 48 blocked hours debate!

V good thread on 'PremFlix' btw - I think Jordan's 'analysis' is pretty reductive and massively underestimates the costs, challenges and mindset shift required as you explain

[Tom Gracey @TomGracey]

@AndyMarstonSP @caln19_ There is also the demand/supply dynamic, and the fact that each incremental game broadcast live is by definition the least attractive (thereby diluting the overall quality of the product)

[Tom Gracey @TomGracey]

@martingrantross Very much the latter for me. Overall thought it was good - lots going on with the shotgun start, gfx not sure but liked having the leaderboard up throughout. Narrative with teams etc not there for me (yet)

[Tom Gracey @TomGracey]

You're not Spurs if you don't think we're losing to Norwich on Sunday...

[Tom Gracey @TomGracey]

"we were ready in January"...#COYS #NLD

[Tottenham Hotspur @SpursOfficial]

Dare. Dream. Do. ✨

[Tom Gracey @TomGracey]

And this was a fun way to finish it off…

[Tom Gracey @TomGracey]

@Charlie_Boss @FAWales a VERY tricky sales process...⚽️📺

@martingrantross

[Tom Gracey @TomGracey]

@Charlie_Boss Note the very clear distancing of @FAWales from the decision making. Clearly a tough sales process for CAA

[Tom Gracey @TomGracey]

🙌🏻🙌🏻 looking forward to getting started with @SkySportsF1

[Sky Sports F1 @SkySportsF1]
