History of the Bradford City v Blackpool fixture

Bradford City play host to Blackpool at The Bradford & Bingley Stadium on Tuesday evening, with high hopes of improving on their excellent record against the opposition, having chalked up an impressive 16 wins out of 23 previous matches.

The last time the two teams met at Bradford City was back in September 1995, over five years ago, the Bantams carving out a narrow 2-1 victory in a League Division Two match.
