Avenue are crowned champions
Bradford Park Avenue are celebrating after
winning promotion to the UniBond Premier Division.
They clinched the UniBond One North title without kicking a ball tonight after results elsewhere went in their favour.
Curzon Ashton's 2-1 defeat at Newcastle Blue Star and FC United's 1-1 draw at home to Woodley Sports means Avenue cannot be pipped in top spot with one game to go.
Avenue's success vindicates the club's decision to part company with former boss Benny Phillips and install new manager Dave Cameron back in early March.

Whoopee! Amazing! I thought they'd blown it on Saturday.
Congratulations to all involved. Looking forward to next season already. Who knows how far the club will go with Bob Blackburn at the helm.

Yes many congratulations from another City fan. Good to see you climbing the league, I've also hoped one day we see two teams from this great city in the league.

Well done the Avenue - Again a City fan living on Studley Avenue just up from the Horsfall. Next season I intend to have a wander down the hill on a few occasions to see my 'local' team. The club needs to step up now and attract the extra fans it needs.
