Zamaretto Premier League team Halesowen Town FC face a real danger of going out of business after their main benefactor stopped bankrolling the club.   Godfrey Ingram took exception to an article in the Halesowen News which revealed that he was facing a lawsuit in the USA which included claims of racketeering.   He accused the paper of sensationalising a private business matter and announced his immediate intention to walk away.

The Yeltz chairman, Graham Ingram, who is Godfrey's brother, released a statement claiming the football club would cease trading if no new benefactors came forward.
