There are rumours, tweets that our beloved ex-chairman is to be knighted in the honours list!  Now Randy will have to spend some cash in January....The Sir Doug Ellis Stand!

There is already one former Chairman with `Sir` before his name, would our Dear Leader David Cameron want to dilute that unique standing held by his Uncle William ?

If anyone connected with #avfc (identity embargoed until midnight) gets knighted tomorrow, think more to do with their charity work! Ha

Congratulations Doug. Despite the fact that we didn't always agree with him as chairman, he did do a lot of good things for us. More importantly he was involved in a lot of good things outside of football that are easily forgotten or written off to self promotion. That wasn't always the case.

I hope he enjoys it.
