The City Fans United board are pleased to announce that Alan Povey has been elected as the new Chair of the CFU.

Alan was co opted onto the board last year to work as our community director. He was elected as a CFU director in October and took the same portfolio.

Alan, 33, is a retail manager for a large fashion brand and is married to Lyndsey and has a four-year-old son, Jacob.

He said: “I’ve supported the club for 30 years and to represent the CFU membership as chair is a wonderful honour.

“I hope to build on the hard work of previous board members and chairmen to improve the CFU.

“I would like to thank Simon Olorenshaw for all his hard work on the board.”

The current board membership is Jonny Hughes – vice chair, Brian Burns, Neil Bellis, Anne Salmon, Mike Day and Laurence Kirby.
