Thoughts on This and That

Bradford (Park Avenue) have announced ex Bradford City manager Nicky Law is to take the reigns at the Horsfall Stadium, after they recently parted company with ex boss Benny Phillips.

Although I never rated Law in his time at VP, I wish him well at Avenue, he took over at City when we were in meltdown after the Premiership experience and, to me, he always seemed to be way out of his depth - him being a cheap appointment by Geoffrey Richmond because he had done well with financially troubled Chesterfield in the 4th division.

Avenue have lofty ambitions these days, being bankrolled by a sugar-daddy the Unibond League 1 club (average attendance about 300) recently announced plans to buid a 20,000 capacity stadium - maybe one day it will play host to a Bradford derby in the Football League - but I won’t hold my breath!
