CITY 4 - 0 York City
EFL Trophy
Att: 2,524
The competition might be much-maligned but a bit of a footballing guilty pleasure that's served #bcafc well. Progress already confirmed from the group, but some of City's second string doing their own chances of progression no harm!
@officialbantams Did we really expect anything else - well actually the way the schedulers don't give a damn about travel times I had a feeling it might have been Monday!
CITY 7 - 0 Marine AFC
F.A Cup First Round
Att 7,149 (1,255 away)
@MarineAFC and their supporters very welcome visitors to Valley Parade. They turned up but thankfully so did the Bantams. Played in the proper spirit. Mutual respect but, on the pitch, no mercy shown. #bcafc

Att 115
A high tempo start set the tone for an entertaining night at Scotchman Road. The visitors a threat on the break against a high line, as the Red & Blacks pushed forward - a proper contest. #groundhopping#CampionBantams
Campion 2 - 1 Tadcaster Albion
NCEL Premier Division
Att 155
The weekend got off to a better start on Friday night under the lights at Scotchman Road.
A strong first half making up for the cup defeat in the same fixture and held on second half. #CampionBantams#groundhopping
@JamesStozza@markswires My opinion on Rupp has shifted a lot over the last couple of years. The short answer is, yes. In context the budgeted loss funded by Rupp is now doubled (several millions) due to SCMP rules just to sustain the same mid table wage bill #bcafc.
@bencunliffe14 One thing I really didn't expect to read after the game was criticism of the manager. It makes no sense. We make a really positive sub that unfortunately has no chance to take effect because of a completely unrelated error that doesnt happen 99 times out of 100 #bcafc
@officialbantams I can only see this as a positive idea, always lots of seats free around us in the main stand even for the bigger games (but are "sold out" to ST's).
