City Social: Bantams fans full of optimism on poignant final day

The Bantams signed off their League Two campaign in style as strikes from Lee Angol and Jamie Walker, who have since signed new contracts at City, fired their side top a 2-0 win over Carlisle.

A crowd of 18,283 at Valley Parade also paid their annual respects to the 56 victims of the fire disaster 37 years ago. This will be further marked on Wednesday in Centenary Square with the first in-person ceremony in three years.

Here are a few views from City fans from social media reacting to Saturday’s final day triumph:

A signing very early in the summer of a player with quality above our level. What is this Bradford City?! #bcafc https://t.co/zJdjgaVzU9

Good start to recruitment. Lets see how it goes next few weeks. #bcafc

What a coup of a signing. This is the Mark Hughes era. I compare it to Rafa at Newcastle. There seems to be a mutual love in and understanding. Up the Bantams. #bcafc

The improvements under MH are there for all to see after a 3rd successive victory, which gives all #bcafc fans much optimism for next season https://t.co/S5K6xb8GtU

We’ve finished 14th in League 2.

82nd out of 92 in the Football League and yet I left Valley Parade today with optimism and looking forward to next season.

All down to one man.

Thank you Mark Hughes.#bcafc #markhughes pic.twitter.com/Ogk6SYtHxY
