"I have worked with football clubs and motor sport in the past and made it work there so it should be no different this time."I've taken the touring car business from nothing to a premier outfit in four years and there's no reason why York City can't do the same." He added: "We have sites in mind for a new stadium, which will be attractive to other activities such as pop concerts."Paul Rawnsley, vice-chairman of the York City Supporters' Trust, who helped kick off the Save City campaign, was delighted with the takeover."A huge amount of organisation and hard work has gone into the campaign and everyone should be proud of the achievements," he said "However, the hard work is not over. In future the new York City will be seeking more support than ever before from the fans, the council and the local businesses."Bury were given a stay of execution when the High Court extended the club's administration period to 26 April, six days after Bury's final Second Division match away to Peterborough United, after the administrators proved they had enough money to fund the Shakers to the end of the season.. Marc Libbra's free-kick caused confusion in the Birmingham defence and the winger Mark Rivers broke clear, only to see his powerful shot turned behind by Vaesen.The visitors continued to press though and Mooney should have broken the deadlock on 18 minutes. Martin Grainger's dangerous free-kick was missed by Green, but Mooney crashed a header wide of the empty goal from just four yards.However, three minutes later Birmingham deservedly broke the deadlock with John's quality low finish from the edge of the box.Darren Purse could have settled the clash with 14 minutes left after being put clean through by Mooney, but Green rushed out to save.Norwich City: Green; Nedergaard, Mackay, Fleming, Drury, Rivers (McVeigh, h-t), Holt, Mulryne, Easton (Llewellyn, 77), Libbra, Nielsen.

Adam Scott outshone his playing partner, Colin Montgomerie, to forge a three-shot lead at the halfway stage of the Qatar Masters here yesterday. Scott had already had three birdies and was tied for the lead when his drive on the 15th found the first cut of rough on the 466-yard par four.That left him a daunting 200-yard approach over water to the green – but what could easily have become a bogey five turned into an eagle two as his four-iron approach landed 25 feet short of the flag and rolled straight into the hole.Scott also birdied the 17th from 15 feet for a three-shot lead over Spain's Jose Manuel Lara, the Dane Anders Hansen and the first-round joint-leader Klas Eriksson, of Sweden He enjoyed a four-shot cushion over Montgomerie. "I can't control what other players are going to do over the weekend, but if I keep playing the way I have over the first couple of days, then I think it will be good enough," said Scott, who secured his European Tour card in 2000 from eight starts. "I'll just keep my head down but I'm expecting the wind to come up now, so I presume it will get a lot more difficult over the weekend."Montgomerie was not too down-heartened after making the cut for the first time this season. He had played only four competitive rounds this year, but rounds of 68 and 69 saw him back on the leaderboard. "It was unfortunate that Andrew Oldcorn had to go home for personal reasons, which meant it was slow today, playing with just Adam," the seven-time European No 1 said "But it's only two days gone, and I'm getting there. It's the first cut I've made this year! Unbelievable."Montgomerie was alongside his fellow Scot Stephen Gallacher on seven under, the 27-year-old nephew of Bernard looking to claim his maiden title after finishing second behind compatriot Andrew Coltart in the Great North Open last year.Qatar Masters (Doha) Leading second-round scores (GB or Irl unless stated): 133 A Scott (Aus) 67 66.
