Hello, this is the game podcast from The Times and I'm Natalie Sawyer.

Joining Greger Robertson and I today it is Jonathan Northcroft.

Jonathan, how you doing?

Hi, Nat, I'm good, thanks.

I'm basking in the glow of some football last night

it already feels a little bit different from a writer's point of view and just from a human

point of view it's just really nice watching games yesterday and

all the stuff we love the controversy the the skills and all the rest of it so

I am, yeah, I'm at Brighton the Arsenal this weekend.

I'm really looking forward to it.

It'll be different from a kind of logistics point of view.

I'm really looking forward to actually driving to a stadium without any

it's a challenge for match reporters actually I'm not quite sure how we go with it. It'll be a bit of a test sort of finding out. I thought the guys in all the papers did well this morning, but you know a lot of them were writing about the atmosphere

and the setting and I guess come Saturday everyone will know that these are in empty stadiums

and we'll have to not write about that. So I'm kind of quite enjoying

thinking through those problems and how we're going to put it all in print when we

in Sunday's paper. And just just quickly before I say hello to Gregor of course has there been any sort of guidance

and protocol do you have to arrive earlier anything like that that's different?

Yes I mean it's been recommended that we try and get into the grounds about an hour before,
