The "Dallas" stand which was to our left looked very poor I think if you were to sit in the lower tier you would struggle to see the game, The Upper tier didn't look much better. Really convenient and safe and about a 20 minute walk to the ground. 'Going to the Match Bantams Style' Bradford City Valley Parade Stadium 20'' x 30'' Box Canvas. Despite the ground once being called Valley Parade, it came as a surprise to me that the ground was actually built on the side of a valley! On Saturday I visited the Lloyds No1 in Centenary Square for lunch then walked to the Fighting Cock pub which has a great selection of beers. I arrived by train at Bradford Interchange, which is nearest to the city centre. This brings you out on Manor Row, where you should turn right. The movement of the away fans was slow until we were out of the stand, then it was fine. Supporters from both sides were in the pub, all mingling about in what was a very friendly and high-spirited atmosphere. A good save from Norwich loanee goalkeeper Remi Matthews in goal for Argyle kept the score 0-1 at half time.
I was looking forward to it as the game was a big top of the table clash. A quick exit and not held behind for any length of time. For most matches, the TL Dallas End Stand remains closed, which dampens the atmosphere a little, with only three sides of the ground in use. There is also a large electric scoreboard in one corner of the ground, between the Mamma Mia and TL Dallas Stands.
The bottom tier was not open which leads to a packed top tier. It was potentially one of the most important games in our short but sweet history. With the Dons mathematically safe, I was looking forward to a stress-free game of football.
It was my first visit to Valley Parade and I had been told that the Bradford City fans create a great atmosphere. The atmosphere I thought was quite flat, their fans didn't sing much, and when they did you couldn't really hear what they were saying! You can spot the ground from a mile off due to the two large stands and the floodlights. Good times.
The West Yorkshire city of Bradford adds itself to the list of cities that once hosted Greyhound Racing at more than one venue within its boundaries. From a Fleetwood perspective, the game was a poor affair (a view shared with many neutrals who watched it on the telly) with us losing 1-0 and not creating much in attack. 3. There is no categorisation of matches, the club doesn’t charge more or less for you to sit in different parts of the stadium and the only thing that affects the cost of your ticket is your age. The ground is spectacular, the home fans were very friendly and the atmosphere throughout the day was brilliant. Living in Southampton, we left at around 7am and comfortably made it to Bradford for mid-day.
We had a look around the local shops and grabbed something to eat before heading over to the ground for about 2pm. Bradford City’s match ticketing policy is, in essence, nice and easy to understand. Bradford deserved the win and look a good team as per last season. Away fans are housed in Blocks F & G of the Mamma Mia Stand on one side of the ground. The queues for food were horrendous and stock ran out fast which was the worst thing for me about Valley Parade. We queued for around 30 minutes at the only refreshment hut. Another ground ticked off the list. For a neutral watching, a decent game. The JCT600 (Main) Stand was opened in 1986 and had a second tier added in 2001. They gave us no trouble and were obviously relieved to get the win. A mix of both sets of fans with colours on with no bother.
