New chairman takes over at Lincoln City

Roger Bates and Clive Nates

Lincoln City have appointed a new chairman and vice-chairman after Bob Dorrian’s eight-year reign came to an end recently.

Clive Nates takes the chair at The Imps, with Roger Bates as his number two.

Nates has been a director since February 2016, from the time an agreement was  reached with Sportvest Capital to become a shareholder in Lincoln City Holdings. He and his partners continue to invest in the club through Sportvest.

He said: “I am honoured to have been elected as Chairman of this fantastic club and I will continue to devote much of my time and efforts towards helping us make further progress.

“An inclusive, collaborative and open management style has been adopted and I will work closely with the Board and especially my fellow Executive Committee members Roger Bates and Kevin Cooke, as well as Liam Scully, Danny and Nicky Cowley in taking the club forward for the benefit of our fans, the community and the city. I especially want to thank our fans for the incredible support I have received since joining the club and hope this will continue long into the future.”
