Bradford (Park Avenue) AFC Announces Club Is Up For Sale

Club seeks new ownership to secure long-term future

Bradford (Park Avenue) AFC has announced that the club is being formally offered for sale as part of a strategic move to secure its long-term future. The decision comes amid increasing financial demands and the need for continued investment in the team and club operations.

Over recent years, the club’s financial position has been supported significantly by Gareth, who has personally funded and underwritten many costs. His dedication to the club has been described as unwavering. However, due to his age and the growing financial requirements of running the club, he is now focused on finding suitable new owners who can build on the progress made.

Investment and recent developments

The club has recently recruited new players and appointed individuals to key roles aimed at strengthening both the football squad and the club’s financial operations. These steps have been taken with the ambition of achieving promotion and fostering growth on and off the pitch.

With these foundations in place, the club’s board believes there is significant potential for future success. They view the sale as an opportunity for prospective owners to join the club’s ongoing journey and contribute to its development.
