"The other day I met Mark McGuire who is the new head honcho at the KC and in charge of the SMC. It was a great opportunity to explain to him that many FC and indeed neutral fans feel that the SMC is too closely aligned with the football club and in fact seen by many as being one and the same thing. He surprised me by admitting that he actually agreed there was a misconception there, and that one of his first priorities was to try and
