Jonathan Freeman Resignation

Jonathan Freeman has advised the Board of Chester FC that he is reluctantly standing down from his roles as Director and CFU Membership Secretary.

Jonathan has been our CFU Membership Secretary since January 2012 and was elected to the Board at the AGM last autumn.

However, due to unprecedented work demands in his dental practice Jonathan has found it increasingly difficult to attend to his CFU and Board roles in the manner he would like and so has reluctantly come to the conclusion that it is best for him to stand down at this stage.

Jonathan will remain an ardent supporter of the Club both on and off the field and our thanks and best wishes go to him for all the work he has done on our behalf these past three years.
