We began this episode by talking about this season’s Scottish Football Supporters Survey results, which you can read at http://www.scottishsupporters.net/survey/2019-20/ - and the results of Alan’s geekery can be found at http://www.scottishsupporters.net/survey/explore-the-results/

We then introduced our interviewee Warren Hawke – former footballer, former club chief executive, and now a club development specialist, working currently to develop the Raith Rovers Community Foundation after doing a similar job previously at Greenock Morton Community Trust. Warren spoke really passionately about his belief in the potential for football to drive positive change in our communities, and how both clubs and their communities can benefit from this work.

We also shared some of the favourite books we’ve recently been reading:
