Friday Night’s Fixture vs Garforth Town Postponed

posted in: First Team News, News | 0

Bradford (Park Avenue) regret to announce that Friday night’s scheduled match against Garforth Town has been postponed due to adverse weather conditions.

Based on expert advice from our pitch installers, PST, we will be unable to clear the pitch without risking irreversible damage to its structure.

The combination of snow and ice adhering to the pitch fibres and crumb presents significant challenges. Any attempt to remove or grit the surface could compromise the integrity of the pitch, rendering it unsafe for play and potentially causing long-term harm to the playing surface.

We understand the disappointment this decision may cause to our fans, players, and officials, but the safety of everyone involved and the preservation of our facilities are of paramount importance.

In related news, West Bowling and Albion Sports will be making decisions regarding their respective scheduled games 24 hours before kick-off, should there be a rapid change in the weather conditions. Please stay tuned to their official channels, @westbowlingarlfc and @AlbionSportsAFC, for the latest updates.

For updates regarding Bradford (Park Avenue), follow our official channels on X, Facebook, Instagram or BlueSky @BPAFCOfficial or visit bpafc.com.

Details of the rescheduled fixture will be communicated in due course. We thank you for your understanding and support.

Jack’s work ethic and ability to make an impact in key moments have earned him praise from both fans and the coaching staff, making him an important part of the squad.

Jack, who has already made 23 senior appearances for Doncaster Rovers and gained experience from previous loan spells, will continue to play a pivotal role in Bradford (Park Avenue)’s campaign.
