Valley Parade

Sun May 15, 2011 11:13 am

Looks like the Bantams (Bradford City) could be leaving the Valley Parade due to dispute between the club an greedy land owner. I think its quite sad considering Bradford get 10k (atleast) at the ground per game, despite being near the bottom pit of the league. Not so long ago Bradford were a Premier League team. What happened?

Some of you may not care but I'm bored and admire Bradford for their loyalty...10k a game, in league 2, normally fighting for survival..pretty impressive to me :ayatollah:

They overspent while in the premiership and never recovered.

I recall them beating Liverpool on the last day of the season to stay in the premiership. Then they went and brought an Italian called Carboni who they paid £40,000 pw at the start of the following season. They went down that season, remained mid table in the championship, recall them winning 2-0 at nP when we first came up. Since then they have just dropped, went into administration I believe.

I remember this game well, we battered them but they scored two of the best away goals from open play at Ninian! :oops:
