Bantams hope for magic touch

Bangkok Post

April 12, 2025

Despite having a population approaching half a million the West Yorkshire city of Bradford has underachieved when it comes to football bragging rights. However, Bradford City are hoping this season will see amuch-needed change in fortune, even if it is just a small step.

Ever since the club were relegated to League Two in 2019 the Bantams have started each season among the favourites for promotion back into League One. Alas in those five years they have finished 9th, 15th, 14th, 6th and 9th which means they remain in the fourth tier. It has been a very frustrating time.

However, as this season nears its climax the Bantams are sitting on top of League Two, leading second-placed Port Vale on goal difference with Walsall occupying the third automatic promotion spot one point behind. But things are so tight at the top of the league that Doncaster, AFC Wimbledon and Notts County are also in with a chance of automatic promotion. Adding to the spice is that Bradford will be facing two of these teams in the coming weeks.

Give BMA cooling centres a chance

The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration's (BMA) initiative providing air-conditioned “cooling centres” may be met with a degree of scepticism but the initiative is an undeniably novel and humane response for a city increasingly pushed to its limits by climate risks — marked by long summers and more frequent extreme heat events.
