You could be an Ambassador for your local club.
You Already Know Your Club Better Than Any Journalist : Here's What That Means If you’ve spent any amount of time following your club: the one that isn't always on the back pages of the national newspapers: you’ve probably noticed something. When a professional journalist finally shows up to cover a game, they usually get the score right. They might even get the goalscorers and the formation correct.
