Billy Enjoys Boardroom Experience

Guest of Society Director Maurice Kidd for a bit of Boardroom hospitality last Saturday was Billy Shepherd.  A former Society Director himself, Billy has been involved at the club looking after match day mascots for many years.  Maurice said "Billy is one of many volunteers behind the scenes, whose great work probably goes unnoticed by most.  Fortunately, I have seen how Billy transforms an already special day for mascots into a day they will remember for the rest of their lives, and I was therefore delighted the Society recognised his excellent work and invited him to the Boardroom."

Billy told us "It was a great afternoon.  I look after the mascots pre-match so I’m familiar with what goes on behind the scenes on matchdays – it’s my dream job as far as I’m concerned, even if I am a volunteer!

"Being invited into the boardroom, however, was still a fantastic experience and it’s great that so many ordinary fans are now getting the chance to mix with the people who run the Club.  This has been unheard of in all the years I’ve supported Dundee FC, and must still be fairly unique amongst most football clubs.  I see it as a clear indication of the positive direction the Club is now taking and it was obvious on the day that we now have a group of people running Dundee FC who have the grand old lady’s best interests at heart.

"For any Dee, a visit to the boardroom will be a special experience and I was extremely grateful for the opportunity.
