| BEEKS ELECTED TO F.L. BOARD
(Monday 25th March 2002)  Wanderers' Chairman Ivor Beeks has been elected by Division Two clubs to join The Football League Board of Directors. Beeks will replace Notts County director Peter Storrie on the Board and will be one of two representives from the Second Division on the Board; the other being Peter Heard of Colchester United.
In a press statement following the election, Beeks said ""I am absolutely delighted to have been elected onto The Football League’s Board of Directors. I look forward to being able to contribute fully in decision making at what is a very crucial time for Football League clubs. I would like to thank the Chairmen who voted for me and will work hard to represent the interests of my division and all Football League members." Beeks has been Chairman at Wycombe Wanderers since 1988, having joined the first ever Board of Directors two years previous. Commenting on his election to the Football League Board, Chairman Keith Harris said "I am delighted to welcome Ivor to the Board. He will bring a unique insight into today’s game because he has overseen Wycombe’s rise from the Isthmian League to Division Two of The Football League. I am sure his experiences at all levels of football, and in particular nine seasons in Division Two, will help him considerably." One of the Board's most important tasks will be to try and come to an agreement with ITV Digital after the sponsors threatened to pull the plug on £180m worth of revenue for Clubs regarding TV rights. The full line-up of the Football League Board now reads; Keith Harris (Football League Chairman), David Burns (Football League Chief Executive), Geoffrey Richmond (Bradford City), John Bowler (Crewe Alexandra), Paul Thompson (West Bromwich Albion), Peter Heard (Colchester United), Ivor Beeks (Wycombe Wanderers) and Barry Hearn (Leyton Orient).
