MORE MILES ON THE ROAD FOR CITY NEXT SEASON

31 May 2016

City fans following Phil Parkinson's squad on the road next season will travel a grand total of 6,002* miles during the 2016/2017 campaign.

 

Following AFC Wimbledon's victory over Plymouth Argyle in Monday's Sky Bet League 2 Play Off Final at Wembley Stadium, Parkinson's side now know their full rota of opponents for the coming year.

 

The visit to Kent to play Gillingham is scheduled to be the Bantams' longest journey for a league fixture for the second season running.

 

Trips to Rochdale and Oldham Athletic will remain City's nearest away league matches for the new season.

 

City supporters following the Bantams last (2015/2016) season would have travelled approximately 4,816* miles to watch every one of the club's away league fixtures.

 

Crunching the numbers this time around, however, Bradford followers are scheduled to rack up 1,186* more motorway miles next season as they make their way up and down the country supporting the lads.

 

* Mileage taken directly from the Coral Windows Stadium to the visiting away ground. Mileage also includes return journeys.
