Jon Bickley, Chair of Big Bath City Bid The push for a community-owned football club in Bath received a boost this week with a series of high-profile new signings to the Big Bath City Bid. Jon Bickley, MD of local publishing firm Anthem Publishing, will be the bid’s new chair. Nick Thompson, CEO of Bath-based Gradwell Communications and former MD of Hull City FC, has joined the bid’s executive team as a commercial advisor. Jamie Malley, director at Frome-based Sandstone Media, a qualified coach who is heavily involved in youth and community football, and Simon Tapscott, MD of Do Good Things, a marketing and fundraising agency for good causes, have also joined the executive team.
Jon Bickley said:
“Bath City FC is the great unrecognised part of the city that can be something bigger and better for everyone. This is our opportunity to make Bath City FC a club everyone can have a stake in, enjoy being involved with and take pride in. I want other people to enjoy real football, right on their doorstep.”
Martin Powell, Chair of the Supporters Society, welcomed the new team members:
“This clearly demonstrates how the community ownership approach can attract new talent, skills and expertise, getting more people invested and involved in Bath City FC.”
