A CHAT WITH: David Goldblatt

Mets sat down for a chat with  writer, author,
broadcaster, journalist and most importantly Gashead David
Goldblatt.

Among his books are The Games: A Global History of the Olympics,
The Game of Our Lives: The Meaning and Making of English
Football, Futebol Nation: A Footballing History of Brazil, and
The Ball Is Round: A Global History of Football.

David started supporting Rovers after moving to Bristol and
living just off Gloucester road. He talks about his experiences
at the Mem as a fan and his one solitary away day. He picked a
good un as it was the 2015 Playoff final!

David also talks about his work with the Rapid Transition
Alliance and his reoprt 'Playing against the clock' which talks
about the responsibility of sport to climate change and the
measures that can be taken to reduce carbon emissions.

Lastly they talk about the rampant inequality in the game and how
'project big picture' could potentially change the game if it
goes through.
