Tuesday 25 November – 7:45pm
Horsfall Community Stadium
Bradford (Park Avenue) look to respond and re-assert their play-off push on Tuesday night as Consett make the trip to the Horsfall in a key Northern Premier League East Division clash.
Avenue remain third in the table on 31 points, but with the pack closing in behind and a free weekend ahead, this fixture takes on added importance. It is a chance to put points on the board while rivals play elsewhere — and to set the tone heading into a rare break in the schedule.
Craig Elliott’s side head into the game looking to put two difficult league results behind them. A superb FA Trophy showing at Radcliffe highlighted the potential within the squad, but league defeats to Redcar Athletic the week prior, and one to Newton Aycliffe this week have underlined the need to rediscover the sharpness and resilience that carried Avenue through the early part of the season.
Consett arrive in 16th place but remain a dangerous opponent. They face Silsden on Saturday, meaning they will come into Tuesday potentially with momentum — or pressure — depending on their weekend result. Avenue will also be mindful that Consett will be hungry for revenge after being knocked out of the FA Trophy by Elliott’s men by two goals to nil earlier this season.
Their recent form shows they can frustrate and compete: a goalless draw with North Ferriby and tight matches with Newton Aycliffe and Dunston suggest a side willing to dig in and make games physical. With tensions likely high and both teams needing points for very different reasons, Tuesday is expected to be a lively, feisty encounter.
With no match this weekend, the message from inside the camp is clear: this is the game to put things right. And Avenue will need the Green Army behind them to do it. Under the lights at Horsfall, your backing can make the difference — show the lads who they play for and help drive them over the line.
