Bradford City Women host FC Halifax Town on Wednesday at their new Silsden home ground.

Bradford City Women host FC Halifax Town on Wednesday at the Regal Interiors Stadium in Silsden in the FA Women's National League Division One North. The newly promoted Bantams have lost four consecutive league matches and currently sit third from bottom in the division.

Scheduling clashes forced the team to leave their long-time home at Bradford (Park Avenue)'s Horsfall ground. The club hopes Wednesday's match will convince fans to travel to Silsden and demonstrate why the new facility is worth the extra distance.

Head coach and chairman Qasim Akhtar said the move away from Bradford (Park Avenue) was regrettable but praised the new venue. 'It's a shame we've had to move on from Bradford (Park) Avenue, but Silsden is an unbelievable facility,' he said. 'The people down there are amazing people and we want to create a fantastic atmosphere on Wednesday.' He added that the club planned Halloween competitions as part of the occasion and said they wanted 'the best atmosphere we can have to help us get three points'.
