Five reasons why Bradford City will challenge for promotion

Tomorrow marks that exciting point for all football fans that it will be one month until the start of the new season.

There will be no fans more excited than those in West Yorkshire; particularly in the case of the City of Bradford. Bradford City fans will be preparing to see their beloved Bantams face up against Blackpool at Valley Parade in a months time.

The Bantams squad now offers a blend of youth and experience with the likes of Tony McMahon and Matthew Kilgallon operating in more ‘senior roles’ to help develop the young stars of this Bradford City side. The owners have invested in a plethora of young talent with the ambition of creating a new ‘great side’ that can grow, develop and win together over time rather than being split apart every season.

Bradford City is not a short-term project; it’s beginning to fashion the foundations for long-term success.
