What are the challenges of running IT for a Premier League football club?
Well, as James remarked, "There aren't that many businesses out there that invite 30,000 people to their head office every weekend."

- Projects for fans including an app, improving stadium wireless, and replacing big screens
- The pandemic's effect on sports and looking ahead to the rest of 2021
