The Championship Chronicles - Discussion Thread

[pv4]

PV4 asking the hard hitting questions at the back end of 2017.

Half of my questions to Lawrie & Ernie didn't get asked even ffs so thought I'd ask some hard hitting truths to do with the Chrons.

[Jeterpool]

Dave - questions on the Chrons

Some of the people you interviewed, it sounds as if you were at a cafe/restaurant. My questions are:
- which cafes/restaurants did you head to? Was there a "regular" spot?
- if you and your interviewee both drank/ate there, who paid for it? Whom was happy to split evenly, whom made sure that you paid for the extra coffee you had, or were you gracious as hell and offered to pay for all?
- what was the weirdest drink/food order that any of your interviewees ordered?
- Adam Griffiths is a soy/almond milk kinda guy, right?

Hi pv4,

Thanks for the questions

1. I generally did interviews at the Locale, but with their early closing times I actually moved some of tehm to Wests. The noise of the buses caused me some issues so indoors was needed - Wests was easy and central.
2. We generally had a coffee. The paying depended on the person. I always went to pay, but some insisted because of what I was doing, which was very nice and appreciate. No food was consumed because it was after work I was doing the interviews.
3. No weird drinks
4. Don't know what Adam was drinking because we spoke over Skype.

Sincerely,

JP

We should start a Podcast entitled "Behind the Championship Chronicles"

To be fair behind the game have done that. Brogan didn't ask the hard hitting questions like you have.

Just listened to episode 2. More audible gold! A copy of this should be held by Newcastle Library in perpetuity. FFA (or whatever replaces it) should also hold a copy. In fact, I'd go as far as saying the National Archives should hold this as well.

Great stuff. Griff talking about giggling after the sack whack was brilliant!

Thank you Hunter. They can certainly have a copy if they want!

Did you catch what Griffo said after the phone rang mid chat? "That's a coach I just binned"

I thought Adam's insight into the sack whack was interesting too. The sack whack was one question I was keen to bring up.

Was this also the episode where Joel spoke about Gary and Jimmy Holland? As you can imagine they've all rolled into one

[Jeterpool]

Next episode of the Chronicles comes out Wedensday.

Ha ha I didn't want to pry.

I loved Griffo saying about the Gypos "I genuinely didn't like them".

On a side note, I can hear myself getting a little bit more fluent as the series goes along. I didn't realise in the older episodes just how jittery I was!

The next episode is on the last 4 games of the season before we start to get into the best part of the season!

His comments are awesome, always just says it as it is..
Brilliant the way he was very aware of how much the fans and media enjoyed his and Hutcho's antics, and that they played off it..

Thank you.

I actually sent some of the more stirring words from players as they spoke about the derby through to the club prior to Round 1 for them to use if they wanted.

[Jeterpool]
