Bantams parade on hold
BRADFORD have asked the city council to put celebrations marking their historic Capital One Cup run on hold until the end of the season.
Phil Parkinson’s side were beaten 5-0 by Swansea in Sunday’s Wembley final and although there was no fairytale ending to their unprecedented giant-killing campaign, Bradford Lord Mayor Dale Smith said the city will expect nothing less than an open-top bus parade and civic reception.
But the Bantams must now quickly focus all their attentions on tomorrow’s npower League Two game against Dagenham at Valley Parade in a bid to keep their promotion hopes alive.
Bradford are the first club from the fourth tier to reach a major final at Wembley.
