#72: Harrogate / fizzy midfielders / Fit & Proper People

<p><a href='https://twitter.com/jamiedharris'>Jamie</a> brings together <a href='https://twitter.com/DrEdBridges'>Ed</a> and Jack to discuss the 4-0 thumping of Harrogate, the planned return of fans to Rodney Parade, the balance between &quot;fizzy midfielders vs onions and gravy&quot; (don&apos;t worry, it makes sense in context) and <em>Love Actually</em> (not sure that reference made sense even in context). We also praise striker <a href='https://twitter.com/AlexFisher37/status/1480259320885489672'>Alex Fisher&apos;s gesture in cutting off his golden locks</a> to raise money for the Little Princess Trust; you can <a href='https://www.littleprincesses.org.uk/donate-money'>find out more and donate here</a>.<br/><br/>And then in the second half of the pod, Ed speaks with <a href='https://twitter.com/AgainstLeague3'>James Cave</a> and <a href='https://twitter.com/uglygame'>Martin Calladine</a> about their <a href='https://www.pitchpublishing.co.uk/shop/fit-and-proper-people#:~:text=Fit%20and%20Proper%20People%20tells,to%20hold%20OWNAFC%20to%20account.'>new book</a> looking at why lower-league and non-league clubs attract interest from wannabe owners keen to make a quick buck, and some of the ways in which fans are fighting back against them. We really cannot recommend their book strongly enough - if you like the pod, you will definitely enjoy the book, so please give it a read.<br/><br/>Next week, in the final part of our trilogy looking at how the game is run, the full panel will discuss how Newport County can thrive as a fan-owned club. We&apos;ll also (hopefully) have some Scunthorpe insights from &quot;Man on the Northern Beat&quot; Ian Street.<br/><br/>As always, drop us a line via <a href='https://twitter.com/1912Exiles'>Twitter</a> or <a href='https://www.facebook.com/1912Exiles/'>Facebook</a> with any feedback.
