Thank you so much…have the best summer!

1 month ago | widthofapost.com | Jason McKeown

By Jason McKeownWe’re taking a break for the summer now. I’ve got to be honest – I’m absolutely knackered. The last few weeks writing about the club have been very full on. But so, so worth it! I want to say a massive thanks to those who have supported us this season.
The bumper 2024/25 Bradford City season review: A biblical campaign

1 month ago | widthofapost.com | Jason McKeown

By Jason McKeownIt’s around 300BC. The ancient Greek playwrights are looking for a new way to decide the outcome of the dramas they are producing. They’ve worked themselves into a bit of a writing hole, and they don’t how to end the story. What they need is a new plot device. So they invented a god, who towards the end of the show would be lifted into the arena on a crane, and who would solve the seemingly unsolvable. Deus ex machina – translated as “God from the machine” – was born.
The 2024/25 Bradford City retained list verdict

1 month ago | widthofapost.com | Jason McKeown

By Jason McKeownSome seasons, the annual retained list decisions are easy to make. Release everyone! Start again! This year’s deal or no deal decision making was much tougher for Graham Alexander, as he assesses members of a squad who have played their part in delivering long overdue success. Do you get sentimental and keep promotion heroes on? Or do you be ruthless, especially with the considerable challenge ahead of operating at a higher level?
One of the good guys - Jamie Walker departs Bradford City with plenty of friends and admirers for his service wearing claret and amber

1 month ago | widthofapost.com | Jason McKeown

By Jason McKeownFor Jamie Walker, the beginning of the end did not occur because of fading ability, a poor performance, a moment of ill-discipline or a bad mistake. In fact, he wasn’t even on the pitch when the beginning of the end happened. It was the first Tuesday of December. A home game against Barrow. Andy Cook’s late challenge on Dean Campbell. A foul. A yellow card. And a one-match ban at the weekend.
I just can’t seem to get enough

Written by Jason McKeown (images by John Dewhirst)There’s a dog decked out in a Bradford City shirt. There’s a guy in a flat cap and a 2006/07 relegation top holding a can of beer in the air, embarking on some of the greatest dad dancing you will ever see. There are flares – so many flares, with the colours fusing together to create a claret and amber cloud. There’s a Bradford City flag nearby city hall, fluttering majestically in the breeze.
Alexander the Great

By Jason McKeownThe full time whistle belatedly blew and thousands of ecstatic fans raced onto the pitch. The PA system keeps broadcasting requests for fans to return to their seats, but no one is listening. And there, in the middle of the throbbing masses is a guy sporting a black jumper, with a Bradford City scarf wrapped around his neck, perched on the shoulders of a supporter, punching the air. It is Graham Alexander.

Bradford City 1Sarcevic 90+6Fleetwood Town 0Written by Jason McKeown (images by John Dewhirst)You’ve really got to admire their commitment to doing it the hardest way possible. I mean, the last few weeks were one thing – but they took it to even more extreme levels here, waiting until the last kick of the season to achieve promotion. Fair play lads, you absolutely had us for a moment then.
The last day: Do it for them

1 month ago | widthofapost.com | Jason McKeown |Gary Jones

By Jason McKeownThe final day of the season. Blue skies and spring sunshine. Champagne on ice and medals waiting to be worn. Valley Parade gets ready to host a bumper crowd and promotion celebrations. We could be talking about this coming Saturday. But those 32 words above could equally be applied to 40 years ago. The 11 May 1985, in fact. When Bradford City’s final day of the season began with celebrations of promotion to the Second Division.
The last day: Striving to end eight years of misery

“I don’t wanna live that way.” Somebody That I Used to Know, GotyeBy Jason McKeownSky Sports still keeps showing reruns of that bloody awful afternoon. 20 May 2017, Wembley Stadium and the League One play off final between Bradford City and Millwall. It’s a typical final – tight, cagey and with inescapable tension holding everyone back from taking undue risk. Then with five minutes left on the clock, Steve Morison gets the winner for Millwall. Wild scenes of celebration at one end of Wembley.
The last day: Smallwood is back, significantly boosting Bradford City’s promotion hopes

on • By Jason McKeownRichie Smallwood went in late for the challenge, he caught his man, and he was sent off. A three match ban coming right at the end of the season, threatening to undermine a promotion push. But he was able to come back just in time, scoring the penalty that sealed promotion. No, that last sentence isn’t a prediction of what might occur on Saturday. This actually happened. Rewind the clock 11 years.
