in late drama at Valley Parade on the final day as former Fleetwood man Antoni Sarcevic netted in the 96th minute to promote Graham Alexandra’s side Town held off the home side’s onslaught for more than an hour and a half before the former Town striker marked jubilant celebrations to end the home side’s seven year wait to return to the third tier You can watch the action from the final day on

watch it in the group because there is so much Aimee in Chelsea and so much Walton in Rick.” there were friendships that were made and friendships that were lost… They say in the show ‘What happens in

Premier League in 1999 Bradford City claimed a dramatic late victory over Fleetwood Town to win promotion to League One after six seasons were destined to drop into the play-offs but Antoni Sarcevic redirected a George Lapslie shot into the bottom corner with just seconds to play Elated home fans then streamed on to the pitch and it took over 15 minutes for the game to then be completed with the players initially being taken off the field The final whistle was blown shortly after they returned to the pitch to allow the celebrations to begin in earnest They join Doncaster and Port Vale in being automatically promoted to League One The Bantams went into the final game of the season in third knowing that they they would go up as long as they bettered Walsall's result at Crewe With mid-table Fleetwood having only pride to play for and Bradford boasting the best home record in the league it looked to be a mere formality the home side were indebted to goalkeeper Sam Walker keeping out a Matty Virtue effort in the first half as the away side nearly took the lead Calum Kavanagh's header was turned on to the crossbar at the other end before the break as Bradford looked for a goal to cool nerves both on and off the pitch Those nerves were made worse when news of Walsall's opener at Crewe filtered through and despite having the lion's share of possession the home side struggled to mount a serious challenge on the Fleetwood goal defender Jack Shepherd was sent up front and he saw a well-hit volley hit the post before Sarcevic somehow fired over from close range Just when it looked like their top-three hopes were over promotion-specialist Sarcevic - who has now gone up a remarkable eight times in his career -stuck a leg out at Lapslie's mis-hit shot The club could well find themselves fined as fans entered the field in celebration but the match eventually concluded and Bradford's 26-year wait for an automatic promotion is over Bradford City boss Graham Alexander has led the club to a first promotion since Phil Parkinson in 2013 Boss Graham Alexander won the division's manager of the year award at the EFL awards on Sunday after overseeing a great turnaround in their season The West Yorkshire side were 12th on Christmas Day after a 3-0 defeat at Notts County on 21 December but a club-record run of 10 straight home victories set them on their way for their first automatic promotion since 1999 Alexander replaced Mark Hughes as Bradford boss in November 2023 and led them to a strong end to last season as they finished two points outside the play-offs Hopes were raised for a promotion push this campaign but they struggled for consistency in the first half of the season and the 3-0 loss at Meadow Lane left them closer to the bottom two than then-league leaders Walsall after 20 matches they bounced back from the dismal showing in the East Midlands with eight wins in their following 10 league games despite losing top scorer Andy Cook to a season-ending knee injury on 1 January so often their Achilles heel in previous seasons has been key to their success and Saturday's stunning victory means they end with 17 home successes from 23 matches The 10-match run was brought to a surprise end by struggling Tranmere on 15 March but they bounced back in front of their fourth-tier record attendance of 23,381 with a thumping 4-1 win over Colchester the following week With previous runaway table-toppers Walsall floundering the 2-0 home victory over play-off chasing Crewe on Saturday 5 April saw the Bantams end a day on top of a league table for the first time since September 2008 those home successes were their only two victories in a run of 10 games going into the final day as the pressure looked to weigh on the team Sarcevic's intervention came just in time and they will now hope to carry this momentum into next season and a first third-tier campaign since 2018-19 Alexander: 'I've never seen a minute like that in my life' BBC Radio Leeds' Bradford City reporter Jamie Raynor The scale of what Graham Alexander and his staff have achieved should not be understated Home form has often been the failing of Alexander's predecessors boasting the third best points return in the EFL behind Championship winners Leeds United and runaway League One champions Birmingham City The fans believe in the players and are once again proud to support their club 2025 was always going to be a big year for Bradford The title of UK City of Culture has offered hopes of future prosperity while the region remembers one of its darkest days with the 40th anniversary of the Valley Parade Fire disaster This promotion represents more than just footballing achievement It's a moment for the region just as much as it is for the

separate the two sides throughout but it was a moment of luck that turned the game round in the Bantams favour to see them finish in the top three of Sky Bet League Two Fleetwood took on Bradford City in what was a feisty affair with a win securing their promotion to the third division of English football A bouncing Valley Parade set the occasion perfectly on what was a huge game for football fans all around the country They produced two promising attacks within the first ten minutes Pete Wild’s side defended set pieces and attacking plays from the opposition strongly showing signs of determination from the beginning despite nothing to play for A massive opportunity came for Fleetwood in the 24th minute A successful passage of play occured on the left flank of the pitch between Mark Helm The latter drove the ball infield in the opposition box and picked out a well-timed pass to Matty Virtue – who Unfortunately saw his shot denied excellently by goalkeeper The scoreline remained a stalemate at the half-time whistle Both teams matched each other’s quality and similarly they both produced exciting periods of play Did Wild have the words of wisdom to get his team over the line and spoil Bradford City’s chance at promotion news was spreading around the stadium that Walsall had taken the lead over in Crewe it meant that Bradford remained outside of the automatic promotion places The 420 travelling Fleetwood fans were jubilant at the news Bradford squandered a stand-out opportunity only six minutes later Bobby Pointon did well to break his way into the box Harrison Neal was down to cancel this opportunity to keep it goalless Another chance came for young striker Devonport in the 80th minute but ultimately he came crashing into the goalkeeper but Shaun Rooney was the man to halt this opportunity Graham Alexander’s side’s biggest chance of the game came a minute from time The Bantams struck the post and the follow up shot was rifle goalwards they threw bodies on the line and were able to pull off an incredible goal line clearance the hosts had yet another outstanding opportunity to take the lead and potentially move them above Walsall The ball was lofted into the Bradford Kop end when it arguably should have been buried into the back of the net former Town man Sarcevic found the goal for Bradford that promoted them via the automatic places The ball crept past Fleetwood’s defenders and goalkepper Jay Lynch with a huge raw coming around from all corners of the University of Bradford Stadium Town put up an amazing fight against the newly promoted Bradford City and they should be hopeful going into the next season with majority of the squad under contract his staff and players didn’t get the opportunity to thank the 420 travelling fans for their support today and across the entire season due to a concern of player safety You can hear Pete Wild’s thank you message to the fans in his post match interview on FleetwoodTV.
