For anyone wanting to watch the game from home, the streaming details will be posted on here when we have them!

The club are delighted and relieved to be able to confirm that at a meeting of the national league board last Friday, they ratified the national lottery £10 million support fund for all 66 national league teams over the next 3 months.

This money will be distributed to the clubs in time for October’s payroll. This will help them club meet its financial obligations and go some way to alleviating the devastating financial impact of the covid19 virus. 

Whilst our incredible fans have supported as much as they can, watching the clubs live streaming and keeping their season tickets for the year there was still a large impact on the clubs revenues without supporters at the home games. The welcome

News means that there shouldn’t be any significant changes to the clubs overall budget for the season. 

You can read more details of the support at the below link

Exciting left sided player Harry Boyes has joined Bradford (Park Avenue) from premier league side Sheffield United. The initial loan period runs through to January 2021. The versatile 18 year old can play all the way down the left hand side of the pitch and adds some additional options to Mark and Dannys squad that has seen a couple of right sided players filling on the left during recent games and pre-season. Boyes whom has enjoyed training time with the Sheffield United 1st team is highly regarded at the club and are they keen for him to develop whilst playing competitive men’s football.

Sadly Harry will have to wait for the opportunity to make his debut until our re-arranged fixture with Hereford away on the 27th of October. It had initially been hoped that we could re-arrange our fixture vs Boston United for the 21st of October, but sadly due to Boston’s own Covid isolation this hasn’t been possible and given the FA Cup result from last night where Darlington progressed to the next round, our game scheduled at away with Darlington on the 24th October has been postponed.

Welcome Harry to the Horsfall

After taking a Covid test, one of the first team squad has seen the results come back positive.

After consultation with the clubs medical officer and also the National League, we have been instructed to isolate the squad with immediate effect in line with current government protocols and guidance. The players have been instructed to remain in isolation for a period of 2 weeks. In line with advice, the other clubs that may be effected, have been notified and the clubs Covid officer is following our protocols and notifying the government track and trace agency. 

Sadly this means that our next game with Hereford has been postponed and we are awaiting the National League’s details for it’s rearrangement. 

Our hope is that the player doesn’t have any complications and the rest of the squad remain healthy.

As we have further news we will keep you updated.
