There’s some great news for Bradford (Park Avenue) supporters who play the National Lottery as they have just launched their Football Weekends campaign, which sees them giving away over 100,000 tickets to selected matches during March and April.
Thanks to National Lottery players, millions of pounds in emergency funding was gifted to community football clubs across England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, when restrictions saw us cancelling games or playing to empty stands.
As a thank you to local football fans up and down the country, the National Lottery are encouraging people to come out and support their local team by offering free tickets to a few select matches.
Bradford (Park Avenue) are pleased to announce that, as part of this campaign, season ticket holders and full-paying adults attending our home game against Kidderminster on Saturday 2nd April will be able to claim a free ticket for a friend (think of it like buy one, get one free!).
Who can claim a free ticket?
How and when can I claim a free ticket?

This offer is only valid for full-paying adults (adult ticket price – £14) or adult season ticket holders. Not valid for under 18s or concessions.

Our first Help Ukraine collection has been taken by Bradford City! Over 30 bags filled with warm clothes, food, shoes, and essential toiletries all going over to Ukraine and the border countries that are providing shelter for refugees.
Our focus now switches to priority items, like dry or tinned long lasting food, essential toiletries such as soap, dental hygiene and sanitary towels or alternative sanitary products.
We’d like to say a huge thank you to everyone who has taken the time over the last few weeks to drop off any items or clothing. The generosity and kindness that we’ve seen is incredible and we hope to continue providing aid with your help.
If you would like to drop off items, we are in 9-5 all week, and at Saturday’s match v Gloucester City we will also be taking any donations on the day. #UTA #BPAFC
The club are thrilled to complete the signing of ex-City player Dylan Mottley-Henry on a new contract until the end of the 22/23 season.
Mottley-Henry joins the club after a short-term contract saw him make 22 appearances, score 3 goals and countless assists.
On the appointment, Gaffer Mark Bower had this to say: ‘Very pleased, we’re looking forward to Next Year and managing to secure a few players early with Dylan being the most recent.
He’s come in to the club with a fantastic attitude and he’s really one to admire in a match. He’s enjoying his football and wants to play more regularly.
Dylan can definitely be a real asset for us with his pace, strength and enthusiasm and we’re glad to have him tied down for a longer term.’
Dylan himself was equally happy when we spoke with him: ‘I’m delighted to sign a longer deal at the club.
I’m really enjoying my football here and love working with Mark and Danny.
Hopefully over the course of the next 16 months, I can make an impact on the side and help us climb the table.’
Everyone at the club is looking forward to seeing Dylan continue his career in an Avenue shirt.
