Stadiums tour whets the World Cup appetite
First and foremost apologies for taking so long to post again. As Fedster (comment 32) rightly points out, in my last blog I said I'd reply to programme ideas and thoughts on the coverage and I haven't.
Not good enough, I'll try to do better - and there are some replies below. My only excuse is that I've been away for a while. Indeed for most of this time I was in .
On this trip, coachloads of the world's broadcasters were taken around each stadium to see the TV facilities available - positions of the commentary boxes, interview areas, camera locations, length of cable runs, truck parking areas, etc.
It's the first time any of us had seen the facilities that will be provided and it was very useful and interesting to see the contrasts around the country.
