Valley Parade, Matchday Atmosphere — Sunday, 31 August
Commentator (Ian Darke, Sky Sports):
"Back at Valley Parade on a sun-slicked Sunday afternoon, and after a storm of European football midweek, it's back to the relentless rhythm of the Championship. Jake Wilson's Bradford City has been on a good run in the league this season—and today, they've rotated heavily. Eyes on the freshness. Eyes on the future."
The camera swept across the stands—scarves raised, families packed into the front rows, and a thick hum of anticipation rumbling through the concrete terraces. The warm late-summer sun cast long shadows across the pitch, and yet the light couldn't outshine the buzz inside the stadium.
On the big screen, the starting XI flicked up—and murmurs turned into full-throated debate.
No Costa. No Richter. No Emeka.
