Restart wall
Two metres wide. Corners, free-kicks in the attacking third, and the throw-in that leaked last month. Symbols stay large enough for a coach to point without a laser.
Briefing room
Paper first, then the sitting.
This page is the studio’s working layout — the order boards leave the print room — not a catalogue of software screens. If a sheet cannot be read while standing, it does not travel.
Stand split
Home league nights beside cup replays. Family block, padded row, and away paddock as separate columns so a commercial sitting cannot hide behind a single gate.
Pathway sheet
One scholar, one page. Minutes, loan, caution. The rest of the hour is conversation. We print these the morning of the sitting so last-week minutes can still be written in.
What you would see if you came to Eccles
The print room holds a long table, a wall of last season’s retired boards (names covered), and a cutting bench. Helen proofs set-piece maps on newsprint before the heavy stock. James lays stand splits on the floor to check they still read when you stand on a chair. Priya keeps a stack of blank scholar sheets because academy lists change the night before.
After you commission a briefing
You will not receive a login. You receive dates, a list of extracts we still need, and then the physical pack. If you want to see a sample board before you commit, say so in the request — we can show retired layouts in the studio with club names removed.
