THERE has been no greater champion of Yorkshire CCC members’ interests than Tony Vann.
During 22 years as a committee member, and latterly as a vice-president, Vann has repeatedly upheld their rights in his private as well as his official capacity. So when Vann argues that “demutualisation is clearly the way forward”, which would change the club’s status from a member-owned organisation to a private company, it is not a position he has come to lightly.
“We need to do something more substantial to raise the money.” As the prospect of demutualisation draws ever closer, not just at Yorkshire but throughout the county game, Vann believes the club is well positioned to take advantage of the opportunities afforded by private investment. Despite the unprecedented problems at Headingley of late, the “brand” remains strong throughout the world, with Yorkshire synonymous with the summer game.
