As we approach the holidays and the New Year, I would like to wish everyone my very best wishes for the coming year.
This season we have made a significant investment in the First Team and the results have followed. We wanted to challenge for promotion and Craig has built a team to do that. Fingers crossed.
Off the field there are many challenges. Overall, the economy is not good, with sport and leisure bearing the greatest impact. Thomas and his staff are working hard to get more supporters to our games, but it is not easy.
Our charitable work through the BPA Foundation continues to grow, and we have added Mat Everett to lead our efforts there.
I have visited Bradford twice in recent weeks, listening to stadium plans and talking with possible future investors in the club.
As we all look to the future, I want to thank our supporters, volunteers and all our employees, and wish everyone a happy and healthy 2026.
