Bilston Town FC is pulled from auction
Bilston Town FC has been withdrawn from auction at the last minute.
The club was previously put up for sale in a 'misleading' advert, with the Queen Street ground listed on CPBigwood's website as being up for auction for £120,000.
At the time, bosses said they were shocked by the discovery and said players had been calling them asking if they needed to find a new club. However, it has now been withdrawn from going under the hammer following 'planning complications'.
Vice-chairman Denise Frankham said: "It was withdrawn from auction. It's still business as usual – nothing has changed from our point of view."
No work can legally be done on the football ground, which is owned by Wolverhampton City Council. The leaseholder is Shiv Sharma, who put it up for sale. Freehold land next door can be developed.
