For the first time since I came to Bradford I won’t be at centenary square at 11am to join you in remembering the 56 & all who were injured. 39 years to the day & time that match kicked off I will be walking my daughter down the aisle after this morning we’ve remembered .

wearing my City shirt today in south London & received the remembrance wishes for the 56 from an

I know lots of fans can’t afford to buy new kit so not boasting here. This stash is birthday, Christmas, anniversary etc all rolled it to one in time for 1st

match & historic season ahead. May have to leave home & cash in pension though.

@officialbantams
So
#bcafc
turns out that we’ve sold more season tickets for 24/25 than other teams had in attendance at any game in our league on Saturday. This is incredible support
@officialbantams
and next year it needs to be repaid by the club on and off the pitch. C’mon City!
#bcafc
apart from management changes, team selection/tactics, form Here is what’s cost us this season imo:-
1. Losing Pattison to injury
2. Losing Walker to injury
3. Young out on loan
4. State of pitch
5. Postponements home & away
6. EFL trophy Semi final loss.
Agree or not?

I know GA makes mistakes & we could all do better but I really value his honesty. He offers no BS (unlike others) & deserves backing with a good summer & Jan window. Stags stuck with Nigel C it took 3 years to get reward. It’s a long term Project
Thank you
@CottrellStephen
and
@HodderBooks
for this remarkable book. Engaging , honest, sensitive personal apologetics that is beguilingly fascinating. A must read for ministers & ordinands. A modern theological classic. William Temple would be proud of you Archbishop.

@edsheeran
are both Bantams I’ve just discovered - please help fans in our hour of need to buy this club, this ground & bring success that Bradfordians are so desperate for. Also what a concert that would be at Valley Parade !
@BantamSilver
it’s simply not for you to judge who is a ‘real supporter’. It is just as easy to make an argument that those who are prepared to make a stand for the long term future of the club (not a penny more) & want answers to ? Are no less ‘real’ than those who turn up each week

My daughter got married at 3pm on Saturday 11th May in London. guests were reminded about the significance of the day 39 years ago by me in my FOTB speech and I presented the groom with a pic of VP. I was given a signed picture of

This is funny, topical, wise, touching and heart felt. Particularly if you’ve always wanted a loved one to just be themselves on TV. The Bible matters and I spotted tears in JC’s eye and a knowing smile

fans yesterday! My away record following the Bantams is now 3 wins , one draw & no defeats. This time I wore this signed shirt presented to me by Scott Banks…& I’m going to

on Wednesday. Up the chickens.
@officialbantams
4 wins , 1 draw, 2 defeats (both away) - not a bad record for a man thrown in at the deep end. Bodes well for a future in management once he stops playing .
Any body asked
#DavidHockney
if he like to buy

? He may not know much about football but we’d have some brilliant murals & kit designs. He’s from Bradford, smokes & wears a flat cap so he’s almost one of us isn’t he ?

Tonight not a single song from home fans . The team gave us nothing to sing about & the manager thinks the fans are still with the club. It’s got very poor & it’s really not good enough is it?

Let’s hope Graham Alexander learnt at least 6 things from that truly shocking game-
1. Smith & Wright to be dropped. 2. Halliday & Cook play 3. Play Wilson & Pointon 4. Coach from touchline not stand 5. Don’t play Gilly & Odour out of position .6. Ridehalgh stealing a wage
