Yeah, I'm somewhat involved in how the footy (and cricket and rugby) might come back (like, really really far down the chain obv not in any decision-making capacity) and it's sort of hopeful for some kind of thing in neutral venues in mid-June. Maybe.
It was strikingly noticeable to me during last year when Sky Bet suddenly switched all the adverts we made with them to responsible gambling messages when they'd previously been about all the handy and fun ways to bet, etc. I assume shitting themselves they'll be all banned from advertising again sooner or later. Some teams have about six or seven different betting/casino ads per game, it's nuts.

Hey Mikee, when the lockdown's relaxed and we can all do tongues again, we should meet up for a refreshing beverage. Working at Leeds Uni.

Hey, long time no speak! Sounds like a good plan.

I know a load of people at Sky Bet, my current place has haemorrhaged people over to Sky Bet in the last year, lots of senior management, architects and devs. Our loss, your gain I'm sure.
I'm also in central Leeds (normally anyway). A lunchtime mini-meat with Throb would actually be doable.

Do you have anything to do with the library there?
Edit - actually I think he might be at Leeds Beckett.
I know the guy who heads it up - I do karate with him.

This is shaping up as a Meaty plan

If he's Uni, then I'll know him or know of him. We're thick with libraries & archives. But sounds like he ain't.

He's a chap by the name of Eric. Ring any bells with you?
