Pre-season friendly – Bradford City XI (H)

We welcome our local neighbours Bradford City to the Horsfall Community Stadium on Tuesday 28 July, with kick-off at 7.30pm.

The pre-season friendly will be competed by both Bradford teams for the Tom Banks Memorial Trophy, which is currently held by Bradford (Park Avenue) after defeating a City XI, 3-2, in July 2025.

Craig Elliott’s side prepare for the new Pitching In Northern Premier League – East Division season having signed the majority of their playoff finalist squad, plus strengthening with new acquisitions goalkeeper Dec Lambton, defenders Scott Duxbury and Rudy Misambo, midfielder Jake Thompson and attacker Robbie Fox.

Supporters will be able to pay-on-the-gate for the fixture, with pricing details to be shared soon.

The club shop will be open for people to buy season tickets, shirts and merchandise.

For any Bradford City season ticket holders attending the game, they can also buy a BPA season ticket for £50, providing proof of their BCAFC season ticket in the club shop. More information about matchday activities will be shared closer to the fixture.

We look forward to this traditional fixture and welcome everyone to the Horsfall Community Stadium.
