Bradford (Park Avenue) return to Horsfall Community Stadium on Bank Holiday Monday looking to bounce back quickly and strengthen their play-off push.

Avenue go into the game sixth in the table on 63 points, while Brighouse Town sit 22nd on 31 points. The visitors have taken 3 points from their last six matches, while Avenue have picked up 7 from their last six and will be aiming to make home advantage count.

Horsfall has been a strong base for Avenue this season, with 10 wins, 6 draws and just 3 defeats from 19 home league matches. Brighouse’s away record stands at 4 wins, 2 draws and 13 losses from 19 games on the road, giving Avenue plenty of reason to be confident heading into Monday’s clash.

Monday’s fixture is proudly sponsored by Integra Insurance Solutions, valued supporters of Bradford (Park Avenue) through their backing of the club’s junior and academy setup.

There is plenty going on around the ground ahead of kick-off, with an Easter Egg Hunt from 2pm, live music and £2.50 pints from 1pm until 2pm, plus a half-time crossbar challenge. Supporters can also enjoy Taplins food, slush puppies, treat stalls and face painting.

Kick-off is at 3pm on Monday 6 April at Horsfall Community Stadium. Please note that under-16s must be accompanied by an adult.

Bradford (Park Avenue) and the BPA Sports Foundation are proud to be reaching new heights through an exciting partnership with Leeds Bradford Airport.

Supporters will already have noticed Leeds Bradford Airport’s growing presence around the Horsfall Community Stadium in recent weeks, with matchday advertising boards and digital promotion across the club’s channels helping to introduce the partnership. Now, that relationship has gone a step further, with Bradford (Park Avenue) and the Foundation showcased at the airport itself.

Positioned prominently at Leeds Bradford Airport, the new billboard places Bradford (Park Avenue) and the BPA Sports Foundation in front of more than four million passengers who travel through the airport each year. Featuring the club’s Year of Belonging 2026 message alongside an invitation to get involved with the Foundation, the display underlines a shared commitment to community, opportunity and inclusion across the Bradford district.

The partnership reflects a strong connection between two organisations rooted in the region, both with ambitions to expand their reach and deepen their impact. For the BPA Sports Foundation, it offers a valuable platform to promote its work across education, participation and community programmes. For the football club, it marks another positive step in building visibility and attracting new supporters from across Yorkshire and beyond.

With the partnership continuing to grow on and off the pitch, there is real excitement about what can be achieved together. From increased exposure to future joint initiatives, Bradford (Park Avenue) and the BPA Sports Foundation look forward to a journey that is only just beginning.

Bradford (Park Avenue) can confirm that Josh Ashman has been recalled from his loan spell with Mickleover.

The defender saw his loan with the Northern Premier League Midlands Division side extended in early March, before now returning to Horsfall ahead of the final stages of the season.

During his time with Mickleover, Ashman made 11 appearances, along with a further 3 appearances from the bench, gaining valuable first-team experience and consistent minutes at Step 4 level.

His spell away has played an important role in his continued development, and he now returns to rejoin the Avenue squad for the run-in.

Everyone at Bradford (Park Avenue) looks forward to welcoming Josh back for our six remaining home matches, as we look to push back into the playoffs.

Bradford (Park Avenue) return to Horsfall this Saturday for Non-League Day 2026, hosting Hallam in the Northern Premier League East Division.

Avenue head into the game sitting 6th in the table with 60 points from 36 matches, firmly in the mix at the top end of the division. However, recent form has been mixed, with two wins, one draw and three defeats in the last six. Last weekend’s 1-1 draw against league leaders Redcar Athletic did show the level this side can reach, and they will be looking to carry that performance into Saturday.

Hallam, meanwhile, arrive in 11th place on 47 points. Their recent run has been slightly stronger, picking up three wins, two draws and just one defeat from their last six outings. That includes an impressive away win at Bishop Auckland last time out, suggesting they will come to Horsfall with confidence.

Despite the gap in the table, Hallam’s recent form indicates this will be far from straightforward. Avenue will need to be at their best to turn control into points as the season enters its final stretch.

Off the pitch, it promises to be a big day at Horsfall as part of Non-League Day.

Supporters can enjoy live music from 1pm, alongside £2.50 pints available pre-match between 1pm and 3pm. There will also be pre-match games on the pitch and a half-time crossbar challenge to keep the atmosphere going throughout the afternoon.

In case you missed them last weekend, our food offerings have also been refreshed, with Taplin’s burgers and BPA hot dogs available from the Green Army Cafe.

There’s added incentive for Premier League and EFL season ticket holders, who can attend for just £5.

With a strong crowd expected and important points on the line, Horsfall is set for another big afternoon.

A big thanks to our supporters, partners and behind the scenes team for a successful day on Saturday. A big crowd enjoyed the afternoon. We had a massive effort in local schools thanks to Mat Everett from our Foundation and on Friday evening at Bradford Bulls where we had a real strong representation from our team and a huge thanks to Jason from the Bulls for the opportunity. Well done to Mat and Tom Stevens for a great effort.

Well done to Craig and the team for their performance. Redcar have been the standout team all season. I thought we were the better team which was helped by the fantastic support from the crowd.

Saturday was the result of a lot of planning and effort over a six week period by many staff and volunteers. A real collective effort and a big thanks to club director Paul Armitage for subsidising the cheap pints, resulting in a lot of sore heads on Sunday morning. This week we are doing another big push to try and get as many people in as possible. Live music, £2.50 a pint, stalls and some pre match games from our talented junior section are some of the big attractions.

Ronnie the Ram will be making an appearance this week in Broadway, Darley Street Market and local schools to hand out some free tickets. Tag a school of your choice to nominate for some free tickets and a potential visit from Ronnie.

I hope to see many of you on Saturday as we continue our push for a play off place.

Up the Avenue!
