Bradford Council will not pump any money into Bradford City Football

Club as it looks to stave off the threat of liquidation, it was

confirmed today.

The Council issued a statement to the Telegraph & Argus saying it was

"not in a position to provide finances" to the club which is continuing

its fight for survival.

But Council leader Council-lor Margaret Eaton insisted that officers

were investigating other ways the Council could help the club which was

yesterday granted a stay of execution while crunch negotiations

continue.

The full version of this story is in this evening's Telegraph & Argus, and will appear on the website later tonight.
