Hi Nicola. Get asked this quite a bit so I’ll give the long answer :) I’m usually juggling prep for a few different games at the same time, so it’s difficult to say exactly. It also depends on how often/recently you covered the teams involved - there’s a difference between topping existing prep up and starting with a blank sheet of paper - but I’d say the average would be a couple of days. Even with two teams you’ve covered many times there’s a challenge to find new lines that people may find interesting, or that’ll spark conversation with co-comm. You must also be prepared for narratives that may develop during that particular game - part of the job is story telling What’s key is to give the same diligence to Real Madrid v Man City as Notts County v Boreham Wood - as to the supporters of those clubs that’s the most important game of the day I’d also say research breeds knowledge, knowledge breeds confidence, and confidence (hopefully) gives a broadcast some level of authority. Nobody, as a lead comm, cares much for my opinion on anything - there’s a co-comm for that - but I might be able to tell them something they didn’t already know about a player or coach etc

Thank you, Tripps 🖤🤍 After four and a half years of incredible service to Newcastle United, we can confirm that Kieran Trippier will leave the club this summer when his contract expires. Kieran arrived in January 2022 with the club in the relegation zone and played a crucial role as he went on to lift the club’s first domestic trophy in 70 years.
