Bedale AFC play in the North Riding Football League and is sponsored by local sausage manufacturer, Heck.

The club's away strip features sausages, mashed potato and peas and the "Supporting Prostate Cancer" logo.

Club chairman Martyn Coombs said: "We study the FA guidelines very carefully to ensure we are within the law.

"We know the kit does not show anything distasteful, threatening, abusive, indecent, insulting, or discriminatory.

"The whole point of the kit has always been to raise awareness for prostate cancer and to raise money for this wonderful charity," he added.

The club says the sausage kit is only worn when there is a colour clash with the home team, so is used very infrequently.

The FA has been contacted for comment.

The 20-year-old was found dead in his hotel room in France on Sunday - the morning after making his debut for the Championship side against Toulouse.

A post-mortem examination has found he died of asphyxiation.

The club said Bruce was a "smart, polite, funny and extremely likeable young man, his death is an absolute tragedy".

Archie will be remembered at Wembley on Saturday, where St Helens face Warrington.

The decision reflects the police's "modern diverse workforce," according to the Police Federation.

A planned strike by workers at Bradford hospitals over plans to set up a new company to run the facilities has been suspended.

Bradford Teaching Hospitals Trust had wanted to transfer workers such as porters and cleaners to a subsidiary company.

Indefinite industrial action by members of the Unison union opposing the move was due to start on Monday, but following "constructive talks" at the arbitration service Acas, that will not now go ahead.

A joint statement by Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and Unison says that the trust has agreed "not to proceed with a 1 October transfer date".

The trust's board of directors is due to meet on 12 September and Unison representatives will be given the opportunity to present its members case "to allow the board to further reflect on the position previously taken".

If it's later decided that the transfer will still go ahead, the earliest date that will happen is now 15 February 2020, the statement adds.

The design has been scaled back as a result of concerns raised by Historic England over the impact on the view of Rotherham Minster from the Chapel of Our Lady and Rotherham Bridge.

Changes have been made to plans for a third-storey section of the building, which would have retail space at ground floor level.

Rotherham Council’s own planning officials are recommending the proposals, which would take up a site currently occupied by unused buildings, if approved.

The existing buildings are derelict and partially fire-damaged and the site is within the town centre conservation area in Rotherham.
