Jonathan Hicks: New board member

Name: Jonathan Hicks

Live in: Barry

What do you do for a living? Retired headteacher, owner of property investment company and, more recently, a music promoter. I am also a writer and historian.

Why did you join the Trust? To act as a conduit between the fans and the club, and, given my background, to champion the voice of younger supporters.

Why would you encourage fans to join the Trust? If you don’t give your opinions, then the club can’t listen to your voice. The Trust belongs to you. Please use it.

Why did you seek election to the Trust Board? So I can support the Board and bring a fresh voice and perspective to our work.

What is your aim for the Trust over the next 12 months? To recruit a larger number of younger members, boost the female membership and ensure the club meets the requirements of the

proposed new supporters’ legislation.

How long have you supported City? Since I was taken to my first City game in 1968. I have seen the highs and lows but have never lost the faith.

What was your favourite City match? The 1976 win over Hereford in the old Third Division. What an atmosphere!

Who is your favourite City player/s? My all-time favourite is Nathan Blake.
