We thought that our supporters might like to know a bit more about the people tasked with guiding the club through these unpredictable times. But what to do ? A full psychometric analysis ? A Myers-Briggs test ? A 360 evaluation ?

No, we can do better than that ! What better way to find out what somebody is really like than to know the music they like ? So, we asked club directors and officers to list their top ten tunes (or tracks, or records – whatever you want to call them). Never an easy task and everyone added the caveat that "ask me again tomorrow and the list will be different".

What was surprising was how many people couldn’t count to ten and how one person couldn’t narrow their list down below twenty !

We will list five or six people at a time, with their club role and ‘proper’ job, and all you have to do is match the lists of music to the right people.

Today, we kick-off with:-

Dave Mathers, Vice-Chairman of the Board (Retired, home pool industry); Lyall Reynolds, Programme Editor, (Teacher – that’s not what he put but it’s easier to understand!); Kris Ball, Minute Secretary/Supporters’ Club Rep. (Retired, signals engineer); Brian Williams, Director (Retired, baking industry); Mick Joyce, Director (Property & lettings)
