After a roller coaster season that saw Bradford top the league at Christmas before hitting a bad run of form in early 2019, the Avenue has secured the final playoff spot in a nail biting season finale.
The next challenge for Bradford awaits this Wednesday at The Brewery Field, home of Spennymoor Town.
The hosts come into the game confidently and on a strong vein of form, with a 5-0 win at Curzon Ashton on Saturday sealing a 4th consecutive win.
Avenue will be raring to go, having defied the bookies odds yet again to secure a playoff spot. Bradford narrowly lost to Chorley on Saturday, but will be buoyed by the superb performance that saw them briefly take the lead against the title contenders.
Bower’s men have already proven they can best the Moors home and away, haven taken all 6 points from the last two fixtures.
With yet another shot at promotion to the National League, the squad needs you, the 12th man, to be heard at The Brewery Field this Wednesday.

Knowing The Opposition
Glen Taylor
Taylor is a big, strong, and technically adept goal scorer who is a former FA Vase winner with Whitley Bay, and scored more than 100 goals for Ashington. He grabbed plenty of headlines during the 2016/17 season, when he scored 19 goals to finish top of the pile for Moors and secure his place in the Jamie Vardy Academy over the summer. Upon returning to the club after the summer break, Taylor took his form to the next level, scoring four times in his first five games in the National League North. He went on to find the net over 20 times and caught the attention of clubs across the league and beyond. Taylor won a number of accolades at the club’s end of season awards, winning ‘Player of the Year’, ‘Player’s Player of the Year’ and ‘Top Goalscorer’.
Mark Anderson
“Sparky” joined in January 2016. Mark quickly became a firm favourite with the fans, scoring significant goals in the promotion into the Northern Premier League Premier Division, before netting a further 13 league goals last season. Anderson started his career with Sunderland and moved to the USA in 2010, then started his professional career with Fort Lauderdale Strikers in 2012, where he scored 19 goals in 65 appearances. He is still fondly remembered in America and the club regularly received well-wishes from across the pond. After suffering an injury in pre-season last year, Anderson recovered and went on to enjoy a brilliant season, scoring 13 times and recording the most assists of any Moors player.
