Bradford gain promotion to League One

LONDON, England (AFP) — Bradford City clinched promotion to the English League One second tier yesterday with a 3-0 win over Northampton in the Wembley play-off final.

James Hanson, Rory McArdle and Nahki Wells all scored inside the first 30 minutes as Bradford achieved their first promotion since 1999 when they reached the Premier League.

Promotion comes just two months after they reached the League Cup final, a journey to Wembley aided by a shock win over Arsenal.

They were routed 5-0 in the final by Premier League Swansea, but Saturday’s win went some way to easing that disappointment.

City fans also paid tribute to the 56 fans who lost their lives at Valley Parade in 1985 with cheers and applause in the 56th minute, one week after the fire disaster’s 28th anniversary.
