Join Gary Rowett and Dave Carolan to peek behind the dressing room door and the training ground gate as we give you the insights and context into the world of football management and working inside football! With 2200 games between them, they have seen a lot - from Premier League to Non-League, countless players and staff, as well as millions of miles travelled across the length and breadth of English football. Not to mention all the training sessions, video sessions, S&C programmes, team meetings, pre-season trips and so on! There’s even a fair few pre-seasons to be reflected upon Each episode we will cover topics that perhaps most fans would like to know the reasons behind why certain things go on in football clubs -selections, injuries, transfers, results, etc. We will look to give you, the listener the context to bridge the gap between what you might think is going on and what actually is! So join us as we look to Break the Lines between the factual world of football and the fiction!

Few places in a football stadium have more mystique than the technical area! Prowling the perimeter of the pitch, or sat in comfort on the reclining, heated padded seats, this is where the emperor coaches survey the battlefield on the pitch. After the niceties of the pre-match talk its onto the pitch where communication with the players is tested in the cauldron of the stadium.
Afterwards, in the tranquility of the managers room, pleasantries are exchanged; well sometimes! No shows and long visits, when the match is done the staff get to mix together and share information and friendships are renewed.
Finally we turn to some things which have left the game - Bovril and Baths. Mainstays of dressing rooms for decades they are now practically extinct. And while their replacements may have more scientific benefit, the old school ways give rise to some better stories than Isotonic drinks and individual showers!
