Bradford City Match Day Programmes – Scunthorpe (1979), Bournemouth (1979) & Halifax (1979)

The 1979–80 season saw Bradford City competing in Football League Division Four, a period defined by passionate local support, tight budgets, and the gritty determination typical of lower‑league football.

Programmes from this era capture the club’s identity through distinctive claret‑and‑amber artwork, supporter‑focused content, and sponsorship from local businesses.

The Scunthorpe United ticket is a particularly evocative survivor, reflecting the matchday experience long before digital ticketing and modern stadium infrastructure.
Together, these items offer a vivid window into Bradford City’s footballing culture at the close of the 1970s.
