It was me who called the meeting to an end , he would have chatted with me till midnight if he had to . Wonderful man and a great servant to BFC , now he was a red through and through .
That sounds ace to be honest Animal, and I love that idea of people at a club (any footy club actually), who are also genuine fans at heart as well as business men. And they do actually appreciate fans getting in touch and are willing to talk till the cows come home. Nice one Mr Spinks.

But you do of course have the opposite side of that, some clubs fans hate their owners don't they and thats something Im still worried about happening with our lot. If they aren't careful about their future plans, and if they forget that what they do seriously affects us all as fans and the town as well etc, well Im sure you know what I mean!.
