THE administrator involved in the potential sale of Bradford Bulls has confirmed that talks between the sole remaining bidder for the club and the Rugby Football League (RFL) have been continuing today.

The discussions are taking place to try and thrash out a deal over the leasehold on Odsal Stadium, which is owned by the RFL.

Gary Pettit, managing director of PBC Business Recovery and Insolvency, said he had been told this morning’s discussions had been “extremely positive."

“The negotiations have been very positive, but there is no confirmation of anything as yet,” he said.

Mr Pettit said yesterday that if an agreement could not be reached on the lease, the bidder would pull out.

Last week, the RFL said it would be open to talks about the lease of the stadium with interested parties to safeguard the sport's future in Bradford.

Mr Pettit has already extended the deadline for the sale of the club three times to “try to promote successful negotiations.”
