BRADFORD City Supporters Board chairman Gerard Hollingworth has stepped down from the post.

Hollingworth made the decision because of ill health and moving away from the area. Vice-chairman Phil Abbott will take over for the rest of the season.

He said: “Gerard was a founder member of the Board and was a driving force on a number of issues. The work he has started will continue and hopefully fans will all see the benefits of it in the near future.”
