Is football club ownership all the Hollywood glitz and glam that the Wrexham story would have us believe? As an actor Jonathan Sayer was more at home in the West End or Broadway but when home town club Ashton United tweeted that they needed help he couldn't refuse. Now co-owner and co-chairman with his dad he takes us behind the scenes of running a non-league football team. From all the volunteers helping out, to the lengths they'd go to get a game on in the winter. Craig brings in his own experiences from helping out at Brechin City and working at Cowdenbeath plus reveals who the mystery leaker was during his time at Dundee United when the team was revealed on the internet every week.
