Club seeks new ownership to secure future development

Bradford (Park Avenue) AFC has announced that the club is being formally offered for sale as part of plans to secure its long-term future. The current owner, Gareth, who has personally funded many of the club’s financial commitments in recent years, is now looking for new investors or owners to build on the progress made.

The club has recently invested in strengthening the first team squad and appointed new personnel to key roles aimed at improving both football and financial operations. These developments have been made with optimism for the upcoming season and beyond, but the financial demands of running the club have led to a reassessment of ownership.

Reasons for sale and future plans

Gareth’s advancing age and the increasing financial requirements of operating the club have prompted consideration of a change in ownership.
The club is being offered for sale to identify suitable new owners who can safeguard and develop the club’s progress.
Any change of ownership will be subject to approval from relevant football authorities and the local council.
Prospective buyers are invited to express serious interest via a straightforward share purchase, facilitating a relatively simple transfer of ownership.

Invitation for interest and ongoing commitment

The club welcomes serious expressions of interest from potential investors, whether through significant sponsorship opportunities or the outright purchase of the club. Gareth remains committed to supporting the club throughout the transition process and aims to ensure an orderly handover to new ownership.

Supporters, sponsors, and the wider community continue to play an important role in the club’s journey, and their ongoing support is valued during this period of change.
