What Are You Playing At Gary Neville?
Screen Break
Posted by Martin "I like it runny" Kelner on Aug 28, 2016 - 7:24:37 PM

Here's the brand new Screen Break column, which will temporarily appear here.  Sportingintelligence.com is on hold for a while for personal reasons.  We wish Nick & all at the site the very best. 

Our sponsorship from the UK Concrete Show is over too, and we couldn't be more grateful to Steve and the concrete folk for their support. 

It means a new era for Screen Break.  We are now looking for a new sponsor.  We can include your branding all over the damn thing for surprisingly little cost.  And we're also open to suggestions from anyone who has a good-looking sport/media website who would be interested in hosting the column.

Your deal would be that you would get free content, a feature that was hugely popular for 15 years or so in The Guardian (I liked it anyway), provided I could find sponsorship and you were able to include the branding, and turn the column round pretty quickly on a Sunday night/Monday morning.

If you're interested in either of these opportunities, you can contact me at Martinkelner01@gmail.com or via the website. 

Today's column covers the BBC show Class of '92 - Still Out of their League.
