Is this related to his appearances at our games recently?

I was speculating that he was there to learn what we do, sort of a field trip looking at fan-run clubs rather than actually getting involved.

If we get him in to help run the club, do you think the BBC will do a documentary about us as well? :lol:

He's probably just getting the feel of how a good club is run.
