RECORDS
Bradford City Association Football Club (also known as The Bantams, and previously The Paraders) is an English association football club based in Bradford, West Yorkshire, playing in League Two.The club was founded in 1903. It was instantly elected into Division Two of the Football League despite not having played a previous game. Promotion to the top tier followed in 1908 and the club won the FA Cup in 1911, its only major honour. After relegation in 1922 from Division One, the club spent 77 years outside the top flight until promotion to the Premier League in 1999. City stayed up, with a then record low of 36 points, in the first season in the Premier League. Relegation followed the following season. Since then a series of financial crises have pushed the club to the brink of closure. The financial pressures have resulted in two more relegations to its current position in League Two. They are the lowest-ranked of all former Premier League clubs (discounting the reformed AFC Wimbledon) and the only former club in the fourth tier of the English football pyramid.The club's colours are claret and amber and they play their home games at Valley Parade. The ground was the site of a fire on 11 May 1985, which took the lives of 56 supporters. Bradford City have had more than 40 managers, all of whom have been from Great Britain or Ireland.The Coral Windows Stadium Also know as 'Valley Parade', is an all-seater stand with a capacity for 25,136 spectators. Tragedy came to the stadium on May 11, 1985, when a disastrous fire resulted in the deaths of 56 people.
