On Tuesday Petersfield Football club dropped a bombshell through social media that they were parting ways half way through the season with their overachieving manager Connor Hoare.

The board of directors came under fire as fans and players criticised the running of the club. The board decided to hold a meeting at the club on Friday to address fan concerns and inform them of the most immediate plans to tackle the crisis.

Today, on World Mental Health Day, Richard has released a reinterpreted cover version of ‘You’ve got a friend’. All proceeds will be donated to a local mental health charity. Jo was invited to the making of the music video. Always on the rove for interesting stories she couldn’t resist recording a chat with participant Nikki Coles – a former lady mayoress, who shares an insight into her public duty.
