CLINT GOODCHILD will host his first fans' forum as York City Knights chairman next month.

The Australian businessman was announced as the new York owner over the weekend, succeeding the popular Jon Flatman, who had been at the helm for more than five years.

Goodchild will answer questions from Knights supporters on Tuesday, February 8 at the LNER Lounge of the LNER Community Stadium.

The event, which is free to attend, will begin at 7pm, with doors opening at 6.30pm.

In a club statement, York said: "The evening will take a similar format to the fans’ forum we held in November, with a brief introduction from general manager and director Neil Gulliver before Goodchild takes questions from the fans.

"Goodchild has already stated how keen he is to learn about the city and our community from all areas and we all hope that our fans will take the opportunity to chat with our new chairman."
