CHAIRMANS STATEMENT

by | posted in: Uncategorized | 0

There’s no disguising the fact that this has been another very disappointing season and relegation hurts everyone involved with the club, especially the fans.

We are trying to sustain our club financially but know that first team success is critical, so we will continue to do a reset for next season and aim to win promotion whilst improving club finances.

We will continue to put in place firm foundations and find players determined to fight for success.

As well as finding the best future players, the search for the best future investors will continue, along with improving our balance sheet and our community focus. 

Our primary aim is a promotion year and a season where our supporters get to see success from the first team.

Club Statement – FA Cup Replays

by | posted in: First Team News, News | 0

Following yesterdays announcement from the FA regarding FA Cup Replays, the club would like to issue the following statement:

“Bradford (Park Avenue) AFC fully condemns the decision to scrap Emirates FA Cup replays from the 2024/25 season.

The Emirates FA Cup is the greatest cup competition in the world and in our view, to impose this decision devalues it and disrespects all teams that enter into the competition.

It is also illuminating that the FA and the Premier League imposed this decision without consulting any other relevant parties.

We hope that the FA and the Premier League hold meaningful discussions with all impacted clubs from below the Premier League, and we appeal to them to retract their decision.”
