I'm in Shropshire for my in-laws' diamond wedding celebrations this weekend, and while I'm there I'll reach a somewhat less auspicious landmark of my own. Saturday afternoon at The New Meadow for Shrewsbury v Dagenham and Redbridge will mean I've seen games at all 92 current league grounds.

It's taken me almost half a diamond wedding term to get there - Ayresome Park, Middlesbrough was the only ground I went to from age six until my mid-teens when I was first allowed to go further afield (Feethams, Darlington) without adult supervision. That was 1979 and it was only when John Motson was completing his 92 grounds a few years ago that I worked out I'd been to 70 odd myself, mostly watching Boro on away trips up and down the divisions, with a few others collected on various work trips.

We're announcing today that the BBC will be showing the first free-to-air broadcast of the Hatton v Mayweather fight from last weekend. It's being scheduled this coming Sunday lunchtime at 1pm.

This follows the successful showing of Calzaghe v Kessler a few weeks back, which attracted more than two million viewers – and, yes, we'd already made the arrangements to show the Hatton fight before last weekend's triumph for boxing at the Sports Personality awards in Birmingham.
