Quotes
Claire Balding
quote icon I loved my first Sports Podge. Relaxed, refreshing and reassuring to know that people in sport are the most fun to be with, it was the perfect antidote to a long night of watching election results. I had a wonderful time, drank far too much and realised I had when I suggested a floating stadium to a stadium designer. He was very sweet not to dismiss it out of hand.
