Bradfordiana Pilgrimage

The second issue of Bradfordiana is a 44 pages feature of Valley Parade, home of Bradford City AFC with most of the photographs taken by John Dewhirst during the club’s successful 2024/25 promotion season. Thanks to discounted ticket prices, crowds at Valley Parade averaged just below 18,000 last season and the last four games each had attendances of more than 20,000 which is relatively unprecedented for a fourth tier club.

This year marks the fortieth anniversary of the disaster in May, 1985 when 56 were killed and 265 injured as a consequence of the main stand burning down during a game. Memorials to the disaster can be found outside the main stand as well as in Centenary Square (opposite City Hall) in the centre of Bradford.

The £3 cover price of this photo fanzine will be donated to the Bradford Burns Unit (PSBRU)

The City Gent Fanzine
Following Bradford City is always interesting and never dull, which, 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 hopeful about the team's prospects in League Two for 2019/20 and 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 football fanzine in the country.
