Bradford City have featured many times on these pages over the years, their season ticket initiatives having built a strong fanbase at Valley Parade that has been able to withstand some disappointing seasons as they battle to get out of League Two.
That all changed on Saturday with a dramatic late winner against Fleetwood securing promotion and joyous scenes from a 20,000+ crowd.
There's a nice piece on the BBC football website about the promotion and its context, as Bradford celebrates its year as UK City of Culture but also marks the 40th anniversary of the tragic fire at Valley Parade.
A message of congratulations also came from Bradford (Park Avenue) AFC and there are good things going on at the Horsfall Stadium as BPA look to mount a promotion challenge from the Northern Premier League's Division One East in 2025/26.
Season ticket prices, if purchased before 30 June, have been reduced to just £75 for adults with further concessionary discounts also available.
Updated 06 June: BPA have announced a free admission pre-season friendly against Guiseley on Monday 21st July.

A very good article in the Guardian on Saturday by Aaron Bower, marking the 40th anniversary of the fire. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2025/may/10/bradford-40-years-valley-parade-fire
