    Walking on fire isn't as dangerous as it looks if prepared properly, but can you seriously think that they would risk any of them if it should go wrong. Having us on surely.

    Nice risky activity for a load of people who are paid a lot of money for using their feet...

    Chris is a good blogger. Good value for his words.

    Saints media team sharing the love and thanking fans. Seems to have prompted many messages from fans thanking them.

    Didn't we have a change of media head recently? Can't remember the details. That must be what has brought all this on.

    Sibley used to be Spokesman and Head of Communications, I think.

    Sibley is now just club spokesman and Head of Media dept.

    Jim Lucas is now comms officer and joined us in December 2012 I think, since then things have improved greatly. He's 'the voice' in the vast majority of interviews, and updates the social media streams.

    Jim joined us from the Southwark News and is an avid Millwall fan (what a shame).

    Then Tom Coull does all the audio and video recording, he's a Cherries fan.

    Richard Ensten and Steve Bennett both do presenting for official club videos that you see on the YouTube channel.

    Simon Williams updates the website and writes/plans most of the matchday programme.

    Paul Watts is the official photographer.

    Hmm. Did someone else from the dept leave the club? Post Adkins sacking. I might be making this up.

    Julius Duncan, left a couple of months ago after the PR disaster that was the Adkins sacking.

    There's also David Watchemacallit [Fran will know], who is the club's interpreter and part time photographer.

    David Salas. He's the interpreter and was allowed to do some photography for his own portfolio at the end of the season.

    Not in the media dept as such though!

    Yeah that must be the one that I'm thinking of. That particular episode will probably go in the PR disaster textbook.

    That's the laddie. I suppose not, but he gets on telly an awful lot. :)

    I am right in thinking that he's a photographer first and foremost, and just happens to speak English well enough to be an interpreter, am I not..?

    I think David deserves his own fan club. His tactical decisions have been spot on.

    Honestly, not a clue. Maybe someone at the club already knew him. Considering he was there on the day Adkins left and Mauricio arrived, you'd assume there wasn't exactly an application process.

    It's all an act. Mauricio is a puppet.

    Fran, you are the unofficial head of his fan club. We're all unofficial members. :)
