At the end of March, the club advised that Chairman Steve Richardson, had sadly needed to step down due to health issues. We are very pleased to hear that Steve has recovered fantastically well and will be back on the terraces ready to cheer the team on at the start of the new season.
In the intervening period, Vice Chair Richard Stockton stepped up as Acting Chairman and has ‘led the line’ for the last three months. We are now delighted to announce that at the 1874 Board meeting held on 23 June 2024, Richard was formally appointed as our new permanent Chairman with John Coats appointed as Vice- Chair.
Both Richard and John make a huge contribution to our football club and we are in safe hands, as we move forward into the new season.
We know that supporters will join the Board in wishing both gentlemen well in their new roles.
