Essential Football

As Ben’s journey around football’s lost grounds draws to a close, we head to Arsenal’s Highbury, Wimbledon’s Plough Lane, and we find out what happened to Wembley’s famous two towers. We also stop by a hospital and an Armenian church!
Don't forget, as well as listening to this show, you can watch 'Lost Grounds' on the Sky Sports Football YouTube channel.

...through the hard times and the good! In episode 4, Fatboy Slim reflects on Brighton and Hove Albion's previous stadium struggles. We also speak to fan Robert about his memories of being a ballboy at the Goldstone, an employee at the Withdean, and a season ticket holder at the Amex.
Later in the pod, Ben and Caroline discuss West Ham's departure from Upton Park, and we call in at The Dell, The Den and Kenilworth Road.
Don't forget, as well as listening to this show, you can watch 'Lost Grounds' on your Sky TV or on the Sky Sports Football YouTube channel.

What happens when you've said goodbye to your old stadium, but the move to your new home doesn't quite go to plan? Caroline and Ben go in search for more lost grounds and chat to a Coventry City fan, Richard, about his memories of Highfield Road and look back on the club's difficult times away from it.
We also hear about a community 'sprouting' around Swansea's Vetch Field and we head to Stoke on a wet Tuesday....or Wednesday, depending when you listen to this pod!
If we didn't visit your favourite old ground in this episode, chances are Ben went there in his 'Lost Grounds' TV documentary, which you can find 'on demand' on your Sky TV or watch on the Sky Sports Football YouTube channel.

Luke Shanley sits down with new Hibernian manager Marink Reedijk on the latest episode of Essential Football.
