The City Gent
The Bradford City Fanzine
Well, who would have thought that a fledgling publication back in October 1984 would still be going strong 41 years later? But here we are, starting our 42nd season of printing The City Gent which we hope still contains the best, highest quality drivel about Bradford City as it did all those years ago!
A year ago I did say that 2024/25 season was a must win promotion season and thankfully Bradford City did gain promotion to League One but in dramatic circumstances with just a minute to spare!
Graham Alexander was indeed the manager to finally steer the good ship “Bantam” out of the murky waters of League Two at the sixth time of asking. His challenge now is to make Bradford City into a competitive team for League One. How are the newly promoted Bantams going to get on in League One during 2025/26 is anyone's guess, but with some promising signings, this season could be another good one.
The City Gent will be producing 5 issues this season, August, October, December, February and April and we’ll do our best to chart the ups and downs and record what happens for posterity.
Following Bradford City is always interesting and never dull, which was so apparent last season, for writers of The City Gent is always good as there is always something interesting to comment on.
The City Gent whilst being the voice of Bantam Progressivism is ever hopeful about the team's prospects in League One for 2025/26. As always, the contents of each and every issue of The City Gent will reflect on what is happening both on and off the pitch at Valley Parade as The City Gent continues to be the oldest surviving printed football fanzine in the U.K.
