Bradford City will continue their cut-price admission offer when they play Port Vale at Valley Parade tonight.

Season ticket holders are being encouraged to bring a friend to the match for £5 for adults, £2.50 for senior citizens and £1 for juniors under 16. To take advantage of the offer, they need to surrender voucher 17 at the ticket office.

City began the 'bring a friend' scheme against Oxford on Saturday and managing director Shaun Harvey, pictured right, said: "It was a very successful. About 600 season ticket holders took advantage of the offer which resulted in an extra 1,000 people coming to see the match. We are trying to attract new fans to the ground."

City's current league average attendance of 15,481 (from 17 league matches) is the best since before the war and Harvey said: "The crowds have been brilliant."

The Oxford gate at 14,190 was below average, but Oxford's away following of 279 was the lowest number of travelling supporters at Valley Parade this season for a Saturday match.
