BBC Radio 5 live is set to pack its bags and broadcast from Liverpool in the run up to the Grand National this Saturday (April 10th).
5live will also be searching for Liverpool’s next budding Alan Green or John Motson, as would be commentators get the chance to be trained in the craft by Radio 5live's football commentary team - who will be at John Moores University from 10am on Friday April 9th.
As well as trying your hand at football commentary, you could be the star of the 5 live website, taking home your own poster as well as activities for children over the two days.
And, amongst the build up and exciting atmosphere at Aintree, key interviews around the National will be broadcast live with the public invited to be part of the audience (free tickets are available at bbc.co.uk/5live.)
As well as full commentary of the big race itself the station will also broadcast most of it’s core programmes based at the Art and Design Academy Liverpool John Moores University in Duckinfield Street next to the City’s Metropolitan Cathedral.
Radio 5 live Commissioning Editor Jonathan Wall said: "The Grand National is always a really special moment for BBC Sport and this year we've brought large parts of Radio 5 live to Liverpool to really experience the magic of the occasion.
"We'll also be keeping a close eye on any talented commentators we can unearth at John Moores."
There is also an opportunity to meet the BBC’s Racing team, including Clare Balding, Cornelius Lysaght, Luke Harvey and John Hunt on Thursday April 8.
