Sightlines (abridged). Written and go through by Simon Inglis. Simon Inglis was a sports activities fan having a mission. Fed up with getting labelled an ‘anorak’, yet repeatedly led astray with the glimpse of the grandstand across a crowded town, in the past due 1990s he travelled the globe searching for some deeper meaning behind his fascination. What is it, he asked, about men and neatly-edged turf, and about Irish priests and hurling? Why are two cricket grounds in Mumbai so close collectively? Why do freeloaders revere Chicago’s Wrigleyville, and what can we learn about audience management and bladder control in the bullfights in Pamplona? Filled with insight, wit and questionable accents, Sightlines conjurEs up spectacles and chaos, color and intrigue, from a time before the digital age and commercial control forever changed live sport and the stadium experience.
