Bloody frustrating, sounds like we deserved a win
-
Bugger.
-
2-2 Was a common prediction for to nite..
-
Bloody hell. Looking at the text updates I thought we were putting them firmly in their tinpot place.
Think we're up to fourth on goals against? Do they use that?
-
wasnt there but time to give Butcher a go?
-
To be honest, although they snatched an equaliser in injury time, im satisfied with a point.
We must make York Street a fortress again and start winning at home beginning this Saturday.
UP THE PILGRIMS
-
wasnt there but time to give Butcher a go?
why? Was Evans at fault? Bit early to say that
-
wasnt there but time to give Butcher a go?
why was evans at fault for any BG?
-
no i wasnt there tonight but i thought he was a bit dodgy in a few previous games (Burscough) and we have been shipping goals, and i thought we could experiment with Aaron in between the sticks.
but if he was Schmeichel tonight then shut my mouth cos i know nothing
-
We've had more cards than goals this season. Won't have any players by the time we play you....they'll all be suspended!!!
-
Just got in, chuffed with a draw there as we were last year. Difference is we really should have won by the sounds of it.
-
Disappointing to conceed so late,but i would have happily settled for a point before the game,especially as i predicted a 2-0 defeat.!!Now on to Saturday and three points at home............
-
Think we're up to fourth on goals against? Do they use that?
Yep we're 4th tonight, above Ashton on goals scored. We could slip down 2 or 3 places over the next couple of days though if results go against us. It's very tight below us - we're only three points above 15th!
-
Heggs revolving door is moving faster than SE ever did. Good news for Lynn Heggs will be soon gone . Bad news so will 10 points (admin)

Not that bad yet linnet, your players are still getting payed(sort of anyway)
-
Steve has a few relations near Lynn I guess!Apparently he also watches your speedway team whenever he can.
-
I suppose he would get us promoted by fair means or otherwise!
And at least the Speedway team are worth watching at the moment!!
-
Get Evans before you come to York Street!!!
-
Lets stop wishing that on anyone eh?
The sooner him and his ilk are drummed out of football the better.
Very good point tonight but is that 3 or 4 games without a win now.......?
-
Get Evans before you come to York Street!!!
PLEASE..I suppose he would get us promoted by fair means or otherwise

Come again didn't we win Saturday.....yes , yes I know your on about the league ;)
-
The good out of it thou is we aint lossing many, teams around us dropping points aswell so least we aint miles behind
-
good to see Newsham on 7 goals now.only one more to equal JF total last season.
-
Just got back in.
Deserved a win without any doubt tonight, BPA only threatened with odd attacks, from their forum 'To be honest we did not deserve anything from that'. We need experience through the middle of the team and its clearly lacking at the back without Canners. Just look at the goals and in some cases the times that we are conceding them - late on, after we score, in twos or like Burscough threes!!!
Church again for me was excellent and even though I keep saying play Clarke instead of Newsham he keeps knocking them in and today with Clarke. You have to laugh though if you add up the distance of the last three Newsham goals the yards would not reach double figures.
We are not far away from a very good team but with, in my view, us light by two or three in the squad we are not going to get there.
-
With Canners injury seemingly long term,Milly still some way off fitness and Austin having returned to Gainsboro' the squad is certainly looking a bit thin.
-
We definatley should have won tonight we were the better team and a much improved performance from our last league game.
Not sure what happened for their 2nd it looked like a foul on Evans from where I was (a long way away!) and if not for the woodwork and a fine save from their keeper we would have had 4. gutted to lose 2 points like that but at least an improved performance.
Adam, that's harsh on Newsham, in Inches its way over double figures :D
-
Pics from tonight. Apologies for the poor quality but my camera isn't quite up to doing floodlit games. There's a couple of half decent shots in there though.
Might be a couple more later.

To be fair to your pictures Ken, that is pretty much how the game was viewed under candlelight.
Should be looking at a team in 2nd tonight, we were much the better team and made them look very, very ordinary in what looked like first gear. All they had to offer was muscle and weight which they used in the second half to their advantage. We should have gone at them more when we were on top and we would have had a hat full.
What a sour bunch the BPA lot are, are they really not used to not having their own way that they feel so sour about a late equalizer. Proper bad atmosphere leaving the ground and I'm not just saying that about the chavs that you get at every ground. There were some older generation that really should learn a few more manners. :-\
-
Absolutely gutted to leave tonight with just a point, as I don't think BPA will play worse at home all season. Second half hit the bar, missed too many chances and their keeper even saved a shot with his legs. When you only have a one goal lead it's never enough, though if tonight had been a boxing match the ref would have ended it. Unfortunately we need to learn to be more clinical and finish teams off as they were the ones who delivered a knockout punch at the end. Still there were some great performances from us tonight, Suarez and Newsham were superb and special mention to Nick Jackson and Cully. BPA shocked me as they seem to have too many players collecting a decent wage and playing as if they are a bunch of strangers, a bit like us last season. Lee Sinnott won't keep his job if they keep playing like that, they got out of jail big time tonight. Let's hope we take our frustrations out on Whitby on Saturday. Ref was the best I have seen this season (not saying much). Catering: The homemade chips were great though the Meat and Potato was a big let down,as it didn't seem to contain the aforementioned meat and potato. I also suspect the pie crust had been used on the nose cone of the space shuttle as it re-entered the earth's atmosphere, such was it's tough, robust texture. Still not a bad sign when you come away from BPA gutted with a point. Utter robbery on their part, I shall be calling Crimewatch shortly.
-
Just got back to Nottingham from Bradford's athletics track. How the hell BPA have got a point from that i will never know, they are by far the worst side i have seen at this level. They caused us no problems for virtually the whole game and nicked a goal at the death. Totally undeserved, but thats football for you!
I thought we were half decent tonight and should have killed this game off and put them out of sight. Without being critical, my main worry is not putting teams of this ilk to the sword and this could prove costly at the end of the season. Anyway, you only had to see the players reaction when that 94th minute goal went in. A real head in hands moment. Interestingly, a couple of blokes in the main stand were slagging us off and saying we should be thrashing BPA if we had any intension of winning the league and how poor Suarez was. I turned and asked them who they supported (No team was the reply) and if they had any idea about the difference in BPA's wage bill compaired to ours?? Incidently, i thought Mikel won everything tonight and did a fantastic job up there for us.
On this showing I'll be amazed if Lee Sinnott lasts the season as their manager, because believe me for all the cash thrown at this club they are bloody awful on tonights showing. We were robbed!
-
I went to the match tonight the ref should have gone to specsavers. He was the only one in the ground that missed a deliberate hand ball,from them.certain penalty. What i found most annoying was their first goal the lino had the flag up for offside and the s--t ref went to restart the game not even glancing in the linos direction, so down went the flag and the game went on. As far as canners being out heard it being pointed out that we let three goals in at Burscough when he was playing so don't think it's a case of missing an older head Think H/S will get it right. I believe that this team plays better away as the Boston fans once again made the most noise getting behind them.We are getting there and tonight showed they are becoming harder to beat.think a little more time to really gel is all that's needed.Talking of managers we have the best in the league just my opinion.
-
gutted they got the eqauliser so late on, but i said before the game i would take at point like many said which we got
great peformance some signs of its starting too click abit , as we me made BPA look poor which suprised me consdidering the money they have thrown at transfers wages etc
last thing , got a feeling BPA is soon gonna become a not very nice place to go to because of their bitterness which became nasty last night + their seems too have have been a huge rise in 'chavs' being their looking for abit of trouble compared too last seasons crowd
and with their not being segregation their i can see it maybe kicking off there one day
-
Having had the night to dwell on it, gutted this morning as they were woeful (worst we've played for the most money they've paid) and we should be sat 2nd this morning.
-
it sounds to me like with odd missed chances a penno shout and multiple woodwork we were bloody unlucky.who played at right back? i think the team is getting better for more games played and it will be more obvious to s/h where,if need be, they need to bolster the squad. no disregard to any one because i think overall the whole of the team has been good but a couple or three players in,even on loan,would be good especially an old hand that can be played in defensive positions.point taken with some posts about butch coming back in,for me evans....roll on saterday
-
Cully played right back, with Jackson on the left. We looked fairly stable until they threw the kitchen sink at us. Would love to know what was flagged for on their first goal, the linesman clearly stood with his flag up and then ran back to the half way line when he was ignored.
I think it is the pace to finish a team off when they leave holes at the back that we lack. Suarez did well last night but he just can't run the channels as much as a quicker player.
And they were a good stone heavier than us per man last night, which eventually told in the 5th minute of injury time.
-
Suarez's job isn't to run the channels - he's the big man in between the two either side of him. He wins more headers than Davidson, but he loses out to Davidson on strength.
-
One goal is never enough and this cost us tonight. We dominated and should have held more than a one goal lead. There first goal was a joke, lino on the near side had his flag up then dropped it, obviously bottling an offside decision. Very annoying to concede late especially as they did nothing in terms of attack really.
-
Suarez's job isn't to run the channels - he's the big man in between the two either side of him. He wins more headers than Davidson, but he loses out to Davidson on strength.
I'd also say I think Suarez has slightly better ability with his feet. A few times now i've seen him collect a ball turn and take one if not two defenders away with him then win a corner/throw.
-
Yeah, another reason why we should (if playing 3 up) be starting with Suarez, Clarke and Newsham and bringing on Davidson (when fit) if a goal is required, just for sheer presence and numbers upfield.
-
I was too far away to comment on whether there was an offside or not for their first, but balancing that out our second resulted from a throw in that should have been their's not our's!
-

Sorry, you misunderstood me, Suarez was brilliant last night, as he has been in all the games I have seen him, some classy little interplays with the other two forwards. But it is else where we need the pace if we are going to win soo much in the air from the long punt up.
-
I'd have taken a draw before the game and still don't think a draw is too bad a result. Bradford where a very physical team and I thought the lads did very well to stand up to it.
First half was a pretty tight affair, both sides deciding to hit it long and there where virtually no chances. They had a couple of shots from the edge of the area both of which sailed way over the bar, we had a goal ruled out for offside which was a pretty tight decision and also a good penalty shout turned down. The goal came from a howler from their keeper and that was about it for action for the first half. Personally thought we where lucky to go in a goal to the good.
Second half was much more exciting and I thought we played much better. In the first most of the long balls seemed to go harmlessly out for goalkicks etc. but in the second although we still played it long they where much better and most seemed to find a man or where hit into space. We looked dangerous every time we went forward and especially from set pieces and should really have had the game sewn up before they got their second equaliser. As strange as it sounds I thought we looked really solid at the back and where really unlucky to concede 2 goals, the first the lino had his flag up but then put it down and the second was just a punt into our box that led to a scramble from which they scored.
Still think the lads played really well back to the early season form after a couple of dodgy league performances. Hard to pick a MOTM as all played well but for me Nick Jackson just edged out Camm. Was a very entertaining second half.
As others have said a few of their fans seemed really upset by the result which is a bit bizarre considering they got a very late equaliser after being outplayed for most of the second half. Some of their fans decided to verbally abuse some elderly fans of ours and what they said was disgusting, said fans then complained about our language when me and others gave them some back. Was pretty much handbags but could of turned nasty, shame as up until that point had had a really good night and like most clubs it was just a few spoiling it for the majority.

credit gotta be given too 1 of the older lot last night around were i was stood
wearas everyone around him was getting abit heated at full time, he came over and wished us look for rest of the season
but tbh their really odd bunch mixed in with the local chavs looking for trouble

There is no middle ground at BPA, they are either young, dumb and full of...not knowing better or old and losing any resemblance of sanity or decoram. Do all the 18-50 yr old Bradford people turn their back on BPA?
As posted before, no issues with the young 'uns, you get them everywhere and they're pretty harmless.

It wasn't the young lads I had problems with it was some who are old enough to know better. The young lads helped create a bit of an atmosphere which is no bad thing despite needing a geography lesson and a lesson on their clubs history :D

You've got it Tom, also the little matter of "FL you f*cked it up"...they really need to check their history. Yes I know some view it as a new club but like others who have gone under e.g. Accrington Stanley I see it as a continuation.

There are so many things about the whole exchange of banter that makes me chuckle still.
"Dorset what's the score" and the whole Lancashire thing
"Football league and you fecked it up"
The shoelaces 10 minutes with "velcro" etc
the random shouting of "and I hate your puddings" and athletic stuff.
-
I'll claim the velcro stuff...
"You should have gone for Velcro!"
-
Suarez has been doing well so far in the games he has played in. He has a touch of class with him and wins the large majority of his headers which he is expected to do. One thing that has to be taken into account with the lad is that he is new to this level so he will only get better as he gets used to this level of football. He has never in his life played in front of the crowds he has done so far nor come up against the tough and rough centre halves of the Unibond Prem.
He does look fractionally lightweight but I'm sure this is something that has been addressed and is in the process of being rectified.
Still only one loss this season boys and if we can get points away from home against the other sides that will be around the top come the end of the season and make the Jakemans a fortress we will stroll this league!

first game I've managed this season and was impressed on the pitch as well as off it. Spoke to a few of their fans afterwards who said we were the best team they've played, and the best set of fans - shame about the result, but got to be pleased with the evening overall.

Think Avenue were rather lucky to scramble anything out of this game. First one was certainly dubious and even liner had his flag at one point. I was walking towards exit points when I heard some comments passed between our supporters (incl. Ronnie Bottomley; the old chap) and the visiting team. Thankfully that passed over without anything major.
As I have mentioned on avenue's forum, Guiseley's and FC United the younger end need to learn a little bit of history. The chant 'Football League, You C****d It Up'. Bradford PA were once a football league outfit until about 1970 when they were voted out in favour of Cambridge. Original Bradford (PA) were dissolved in 1974 and reformed in the sunday league in 1974 using the same name but had no connection to the previous regime. So the young chavs do need to learn irony here. Also a touch of geography will not go amiss either. Boston done a Wimbledon it seems shifting counties. People do say that exam standards are getting easier but then again Bradford education has never been that good. Like I said on the FC United forum (see tonights scores dated Monday 14 Sept) Boston will be in the mix at the business end of season and would imagine the 14/1 at start of season will be a touch skinnier now.
As for Bradford, mid-table if there are lucky and can foresee further management changes in next few months.
I'd have taken a draw before the game and still don't think a draw is too bad a result. Bradford where a very physical team and I thought the lads did very well to stand up to it.

The population which makes up Bradford & Metropolitan District Council is around 500.000 of which around 12,000 support the local professional side (Bradford City) and a large number supporting the neighbours down the road in Leeds. In comparison, the likes of Bradford Park Avenue and to some extent Farsley Celtic and Silsden are small fry in comparison based on attendances.
The younger element have only been following Avenue within the last year or so. These are the ones that were making the most noises. Take these out of the mix then you are left with the ageing hardcore support, i.e. those who followed them in 60s and the children of that hardcore support. Apart from the odd piece of abuse aimed at the liner or the ref you would hardly hear a dicky bird out of us. That was the case when we faced Telford a few seasons back and also during a friendly against Bradford City.

What a load of moaning old buggers you lot are; typical of those fans who think they have a God given right to be playing in the football league, whilst showing contempt for those other teams playing in the depths of non league football- ironic for a club who’s won the NPL on four occasions. Yes, you were much better than us on Monday; yes, you should have won; yes; apart for the occasional decent performance, we are a poor team, and have been for over a year now. We are quite capable of moaning about our club without your help. Even FCUM fans can be humble having lost a game or dropped points- quite a feat for Man Utd supporters.
So why didn’t you win on Monday? Having watched you beat Guiseley 3-1, you were the better of two poor teams, having been gifted two goals by the awful officials- bet you didn’t complain about the ref on that day. You’ve played three home league games and failed to win any of ‘em. If your manager hadn’t made an injury time substitution, and your defenders not wasted time moaning to officials every chance they got, we wouldn’t have had time to score the equaliser. You didn’t win, cos you aren’t yet good enough.
After you scraped a draw against them, we went to Kendal the following Tuesday. We hit the post, bar, missed a penalty and our forward blazed over an empty net from six inches. We should have hammered em 4-1 – weren’t good enough, but don’t go on our forum saying how crap Kendal is. Shit happens, so get over it.
With regard those young supporters; apart from Boston and FC most away teams bring very few fans, and these part timers clearly just turned up for the craic. I’ve never noticed them before, and if they do turn up at other games, then butter wouldn’t melt. The majority of our supporters are middle age to elderly, and had we been playing say- Ashton, it would have been the usual low key atmosphere. If any of the older guys had a go, then they should grow up.
So, having had a whinge at our team and wage bill, manager, pies, ref & liner, supporters, floodlights and athletics track, for Christ sake hurry up and get promoted, and save us all from your constant moaning and ‘holier-than-thou’ attitude.
Have a nice day. ;D
ps, and to ‘The Net’ who seems to post everywhere; get your facts right, i.e. Cambridge not Aldershot, and 1974 not 1972. And you call yourself a supporter.

The majority of our supporters are middle age to elderly, and had we been playing say- Ashton, it would have been the usual low key atmosphere. If any of the older guys had a go, then they should grow up.
So, having had a whinge at our team and wage bill, manager, pies, ref & liner, supporters, floodlights and athletics track, for Christ sake hurry up and get promoted, and save us all from your constant moaning and ‘holier-than-thou’ attitude.
Have a nice day. ;D
ps, and to ‘The Net’ who seems to post everywhere; get your facts right, i.e. Cambridge not Aldershot, and 1974 not 1972. And you call yourself a supporter.
Ahhh. Aint that sweet, bobby blackburns bumboy comes to his defence. At least he's managed to pull the wool over someones eyes at your pathetic excuse for a club. If you can't understand a bit or irony and humour and justifiable complaints from us lot, go and sit back in your olympic type runningtrack, eating your vermin pies that you can't see to eat because the lights are so shit and singing amen with a big budget and we still cant play football. I think this is the most polite reply you'll probably get on here so I hope you feel extremely honoured.
God these tinpot team fans hey, theyre a whole new breed lol

What a load of moaning old buggers you lot are; typical of those fans who think they have a God given right to be playing in the football league, whilst showing contempt for those other teams playing in the depths of non league football- ironic for a club who’s won the NPL on four occasions.
Ha ha, nice one. That's cracked me up!
So why didn’t you win on Monday? Having watched you beat Guiseley 3-1, you were the better of two poor teams, having been gifted two goals by the awful officials- bet you didn’t complain about the ref on that day.
Wanna bet? The Guiseley penalty was even softer than ours! I take it you haven't looked back to postings from after that game to back yourself up? ;)
You’ve played three home league games and failed to win any of ‘em. If your manager hadn’t made an injury time substitution, and your defenders not wasted time moaning to officials every chance they got, we wouldn’t have had time to score the equaliser. You didn’t win, cos you aren’t yet good enough.
We didn't win because we hit the bar and had an effort cleared off the line, rather than going in the net - and then because you lumped it forward at every opportunity in the final stages, and finally one of them landed perfectly for a shot on goal.
After you scraped a draw against them, we went to Kendal the following Tuesday. We hit the post, bar, missed a penalty and our forward blazed over an empty net from six inches. We should have hammered em 4-1 – weren’t good enough, but don’t go on our forum saying how crap Kendal is. Shit happens, so get over it.
I don't care, to be honest. You've done just there, what you're complaining about us doing. You didn’t win, cos you aren’t yet good enough ;)

Go on arry give it some :) To be fair to arry he's entitled to defend his club as we all would in his situation. On reflection i was a little sour after Monday night with the late goal & running track and all that, but come on arry mate you can never defend those pies of yours, mine was as dry as Ghandi's flip flop! :P
-
"Nice one Arry". Don't you just love it when you rattle someones cage and they wake up.
Well done for standing up for your club, credit to you. As for the refer, sorry did it again, as for Fancy Dress Man with his pea exerciser I haven't yet seen one in this league worth paying by either side.
As for the pies, well I don't know cos I wasn't there but apparently the best thing about them was that you didn't have to queue to get one. at least Bostons grub is worth waiting for, which is a good job considering you could miss 10mins of the second half waiting for it.
Good to hear from you Arry, suggest you visit a doctor though; they can give you something to calm you down at this time of the month.
Seriously though, keep in touch. It's good to hear the thoughts from other clubs as to how things are.

This? this is merely discussion, you should try it some time, might improve the atmosphere at games ;D

The Boston fans have always been top notch when we beat them at there place last season it was a very even game even i'd admit a draw would of been fair how can you call Boston and Guisely poor teams :o both very good teams i think your just bitter that Bob Blackburns money is doing you no good ;D

WTF did all that come from Arry? Nobody has said we have a right to win and most have said it is a good point away to one of the fancied sides. All that has been said was that on the night we where the better side and where unlucky not to take all 3 points. We are not deluded and know the team is still a work in progress and that the best, hopefully from our perspective is yet to come.
If you take a look through other threads on this forum re: our last 2 league games against Burscough and Matlock you will find that almost everybody said we were beaten by the better side at Burscough and we were lucky to get a point against Matlock, is that humble - yes/no?
Personally thought we were also fortunate to get a win from FCUM but unlucky not to collect all 3 from Hucknall.
Results don’t always reflect how games went/go. If we had got the points from the games that we deserved on performance I personally think we’d have an extra point +4 for wins against BPA and Hucknall -3 for defeat to Matlock and draw with FCUM. Which kind of leads to the point that these things even themselves out over a season.
Referees decisions are pretty much the same, over a season they even themselves out. At your game the officials gave 3 big decisions your way (offside for what would of been our first goal, no penalty for the handball and the lino putting his flag up for your first goal then putting it down). All that is being said is that had any of these gone the other way the result would probably have gone in our favour. Not blaming the ref it was our inability to defend a punt into the box at the very end that cost us the game, just pointing out that on the night you had a bit of luck with decisions, as I have said we’ll get some go our way at some stage no doubt.
If you re-read most on here enjoyed the banter with the young lads in your support and it was the older generation that let you down.
As far as BPA goes I don’t think they are “crap” and still fully expect them to finish top half this season. As I said in an earlier post a point away at your spot is a good result despite letting 3 slip so late.

Proof that spending a lot of money does not necessarily buy titles or attract 'total football'. Hard work, luck and good manager decisions is all thats needed. On another day you'd have had your penalty and Avenue would have had the goal chalked off.

Go on arry give it some :) To be fair to arry he's entitled to defend his club as we all would in his situation. On reflection i was a little sour after Monday night with the late goal & running track and all that, but come on arry mate you can never defend those pies of yours, mine was as dry as Ghandi's flip flop! :P
Sorry to resurrect this post but my main concern about the start of this season isn't (a) Season ticket Prices ? (b) Have we signed any decent players ? (c) Can we possibly afford to pay the Malkinson family £72 000 a year for the "peppercorn rent" of York St ? (d) Can Gainsborough provide a full coach of away supporters ? ,(Probably "yes" when subsidised) ,No the main question is this :
ARE BRADFORD PARK AVENUE'S PIES STILL AS DRY AS GANDHI'S FLIP FLOP ?
-
ARE BRADFORD PARK AVENUE'S PIES STILL AS DRY AS GANDHI'S FLIP FLOP
Yup and probably still as flat as the atmosphere in the ground.
Is there still money a plenty at BPA? are they another big spender we have to compete with?

It seems like the money has dried up according to the Telegraph and Argus ! (Local Bradford paper):
How many clubs are at peril to these types of chairmen who see clubs as a toy ?
Bradford Park Avenue stadium dream in tatters as land sold off
7:40am Monday 7th November 2011 in News Exclusive By Dolores Cowburn
Bradford Park Avenue chief executive Bob Blackburn with plans at the Phoenix Park site in Thornbury which has now been sold off
Bradford Park Avenue’s long-term plans to move to a new 20,000 seat stadium are in tatters after the site was sold by a receiver to satisfy a debt owed by club owner Bob Blackburn’s property company Kelvic Holdings.
The sale of the 36-acre Phoenix Park in Thornbury for an undisclosed sum appears to have scuppered the historic club’s dreams of returning to the Football League as its current Bradford Council-owned Horsfall Stadium home is not up to the required standard.
A finance company forced the sale of the Phoenix Park site to settle a debt owed by Mr Blackburn’s company Kelvic Holdings and Development Ltd Kelvic Holdings, which, according to official financial reports, owes more than £84,000 to its creditors, owned the Phoenix Park site.
The football club is also nearly £304,000 in the red, but Mr Blackburn stressed to the Telegraph & Argus that was money owed to him and his fellow directors, John Edward Dean and Alan Kevin Ainsworth, and insisted that the club was not in any financial trouble.
He added that the Phoenix Park site had to be sold “because of the financial climate and due to the cost of his divorce settlement”.
“It had to be given to receivers to dispose of it,” he said.
“I am going through a divorce at the moment.
“We (Bradford Park) will stay where we are. The receiver was appointed to pay debts off and it was the wise thing to do so creditors got their money, but I can assure you the club is not in the red.
“Any deficit on the balance sheet is what me and the other two directors put in to keep it running. The club is doing really well on and off the field and it is business as usual.
Creditors have also lodged a ‘winding up petition’ at Birmingham’s District Registry against Kelvic and the next hearing is due on Thursday.
Receiver Mark Beesley, of Beesley and Company Insolvency Practitioners confirmed to the T&A that he was appointed by creditors on October 21 to sell the Phoenix Park site.
“The finance company was saying it needed its money back which was secured on this land,” Mr Beesley said.
“When Kelvic did not meet its obligations to the finance company, it used the security on the Pudsey (Phoenix Park) land to get it back.
“The land was sold and is no longer part of Bradford Park Avenue.”
Mr Blackburn is listed by Companies House as the company director of Kelvic Holdings and Development Ltd.
He became the chief executive of Bradford Park Avenue in 2007 when he purchased the majority shareholding from then club vice-president Frank Thornton.
Speaking at the time of his appointment, he said that he would be in a position to retire within the next five years and wanted to put something back into the community and raise the profile of the club.
Revealing the purchase of Phoenix Park in February 2008, Mr Blackburn said it was proposed to put a large stadium on the site.
He said at the time: “A 20,000-seat stadium would also enable the team to grow into the Football League. We are not letting the grass grow under our feet with this one.”
He also declared that his company Kelvic Holdings was to pay for the construction of the stadium, although he hoped to tap into some Government funding and receive help from the Football Foundation.
Since then the only development to take place on the site was the La Liga Soccer Centre.
But speaking last year Mr Blackburn insisted the stadium plan was still alive.
He said: “We want the stadium to be for the city of Bradford and hold local cup finals there as well as other non-football events.”
