Issue 11
In what is the longest feature (13,000 words, or thereabouts) to ever appear in Pitch, Paul Simpson’s careful curation of lower league CEOs’ dropping of the curtain on how they run their respective businesses is as terrifying as it is insightful. In the most revealing detail, it sets out the owners’ appetite for losing money – and how much appetite for how much money – as the benchmark for being in the ownership game. And it starts in the millions. All of that is offset by an almost juvenile ambition to compete within their division and beyond. It’s brilliant; across 20 pages. And it all starts on page 48.
Elsewhere, the spotlight falls on two emerging superstars of sport.
In darts’ Luke ‘The Nuke’ Littler and Harry ‘The Hook’ Brook in cricket. Both of these longer reads will tell you things you don’t already know about two men with greatness already within their respective grasp.
And finally, Nick Compton is not only a former England opening bat, he’s also a skilled photographer. His personal walkthrough of what is a fantastic portfolio is another feature filled with anecdotes and insight. Find it on page 86.
