Bradford Park Avenue A.F.C.
Bradford (Park Avenue) Association Football Club, previously also known as Bradford and since its reformation in the 1970s now referred to as Bradford Park Avenue, is an English football club based in Bradford, West Yorkshire, England. The club's name comes from its old stadium at Horton Park Avenue in Bradford, which was designed by Archibald Leitch, to avoid confusion with Bradford City.
The present club claims descent from the organisation of the same name that was a former member of the Football League and which went into liquidation in 1974. The new entity, established in 1988, will be in the Conference North for the 2012–13 season, and plays its home matches at the Horsfall Athletics Stadium (capacity 3,500).
