BRADFORD CITY vs. CRAWLEY TOWN, Discord Watch Party, 240106
2024-01-06
Hey Crawley Town fans! Let's talk Bradford City Association Football Club, our upcoming opponents in League Two. Here's the lowdown: Based in Bradford, West Yorkshire, Bradford City is currently cruising in League Two, under the guidance of manager Graham Alexander. Established in 1903, they quickly secured a spot in the Football League Second Division. The glory days saw them clinch the 1907–08 Second Division title and the 1911 FA Cup, their only major honor to date. While there were some relegations over the years, Bradford City always bounced back, even reaching the Premier League in 1999 after a 77-year hiatus. The 2013 League Cup final and the League Two play-off triumph in the same year showcased their resilience. However, a tough stint in League One led to relegation in 2019. Their home ground is Valley Parade, witness to the tragic Bradford City stadium fire in 1985. Bradford City stands as the only pro club rocking the claret and amber, with the "Bantams" being their commonly used nickname. In the fan-fueled drama, they've got West Yorkshire derbies with Huddersfield Town and Leeds United, plus a historic Bradford derby with now non-league side Bradford (Park Avenue). So, Crawley Town, get ready for a clash against Bradford City. It's a club with a rich history, a rollercoaster ride through the tiers, and a heart that beats claret and amber. Let's make this match one for the books! Thank you and COYR!
