Bradford City are appealing for help from fans or local firms to provide a new club minibus.

They admit the current bus, which carries the youth team around, will cost too much to repair.

Director Roger Owen said: “It will soon need big money just to keep it on the road.

“If that is not possible, the club are facing a significant bill for coach transport to youth games - costs which we will find difficulty funding.

“We really do need a new 16-17 seater or even a good quality second-hand vehicle. Anyone who can come to our aid will be met with open arms.”
