 Oh, and welcome to Valley Parade. Coindo Stadium. I forgot, the home of the mighty Bantams, Bradford City. Today we're going to take on a tour of this historic stadium and give you a sneak peek behind the scenes. That's right, we're also going to be speaking to some of the staff that work here on Match Days and make it a blissful experience for everyone. But first, let's start the tour where it all begins for most fans. Ticket office. The ticket office, with over 18,000 season tickets sold so far this season. It's been well busy with queues around the corner and the ticket office staff working their little socks off to make sure every Bradford City fan gets their season ticket in time for the start of the new season. Now, every city fan has their seat. And if you're sat in C35, you should be in B35. You can jog on. Everybody's Bradford City seat up. James Mason. Is it? Bobby, yeah. We're re-signing him. They're going to be playing up front next year. Stop, stop, stop. No player guys. What's going to be like on the side of 18,000 fans? Well, it's going to be absolutely rocking. You know, when we were lost to Bristol City last year and we were 6-0 down, it was still rocking. So first home game of the season, you know, we're doing a campaign, as you've probably seen this week, City Come Home, which we're launching, to basically welcome people back to the Coral Window Stadium if you were a season ticket last year or maybe you were a season ticket holder in a couple of years gone by or you're a first-time season ticket holder, which, of course, there's, you know, four and a half thousand of those. Just like me, first-time season ticket holder this year. Me too, as well. Yeah, and me. And me, I've got mine here. I'm going to be in the cop this year, where I used to sit. Listen, it's going to be absolutely rocking, and I know that fans up and down the country are almost envious of our success, and it's just going to be normal. It's going to be rocking. Come on, James. Yeah, we won't do it. See how they're jealous. What a big guy, ain't it? How a big guy? Anyway, on with the talk. Let's go in. In 1886, this was home to Manningham rugby football club. So eventually they saw their error of their ways and converted from that silly sport to football. Now, the stadium barely changed from then until 1985, when Valley Parade was the scene of a fatal fire in which 56 fans lost their lives, and the stadium behind us was destroyed. Now, it underwent a 2.6 million redevelopment and reopened in December 1986. Since then, it's been redeveloped in the 90s and the early 2000s. I'd hear she's standing proudly in the heart of Bradford. Here we are on the Terry firmer, the green, green grass, where every single Bradford City fan dreams of playing. It's true, and it's like a blooming carpet this season, and that's because in contrast to last season, the club are trying something new to cover the pitch, and it's called grass. Anyway, it's got an opportunity. Remember the magical moments on this pitch. Thompson against Arsenal. The Cardinals, Wells, McEw against Villain. Oh, my God. Weather all against Liverpool. Let's recreate them now. Yeah. No pitch gags. The bench here at Valley Parade, and this is where Phil Parkinson and Steve Parking either sit or stand with their benchful players and dish out instructions to the team. The ground will be packed this season after an amazing 1-4-9 campaign. And this one is still for sale. 1-4-9. Sold that one. Jog on. That's how I set Eskimo's money. I'm so into the engine room. Before the players go out onto the pitch or onto the training pitch, they like to look the best, and this is where their wardrobe is compiled by Bradford City's very own Doc Wan, Graham Duckworth. Or G-man, that's the point it's called. Or Johnny. John Duckworth. Thank you. You've got too many names. We'll call you John. So we're in the washing room. What is this? What do you do with it? Well, that's the dryer. So I'll get started here with that. You know what I mean? That's the washing room. Let's just go with that one. So you're washing the kit every day? Yeah, they have a training kit's washed every day. They have the match kit's washed every day. Mike does it, and they do that because they sent the best of the kits for every news. Has this always been the washing room? Yeah, this has always been the washing room. It's changed rounds. I've been here nine years. It's changed rounds. We've got some new wash machines. So remember, there's some sort of cell or prison round here, isn't it? Yeah, up the corner here. There's a jail in past tenses. They used to put the misbehaving people when they used to get accommodated. So it's an actual jail? Yeah, there's a jail just up here. Camera man following. This is the jail here. I haven't used to use a slain cross. You can't come and lock me up. If you keep on like this, I think you might be in about five minutes. So, yeah. So that's what happens in there. It's on the way, fam. That's the shirt that you wore on the night. It's going in a york. Is it? Yeah. They wore this in the york. Yeah, so watch this so you can see the york. Very nicely white. Look how clean that is. What washing powder do you use, Graham? John? Persil? No, we don't. We get from the company jam, too. We get the wash machines off. It's very good. There's the physio room. This is where on a match day, the player gets injured. If they hurt themselves, this is where they come to be fixed by the physio. I also, by the look of it, think it's where if you get sent off, you come and punch stuff. Yeah, it looks like that. Medical room, you've got all your charts in there. Your muscle system, your skeletal system. Everything a physio might need to know. It's the away dressing room. It's tiny. I can barely fit in here. You've got to get 20 players in there and about eight, nine staff, two physios and all that. Time to remember, back in the Premier League days, I think Arsenal, who was so fancy, got changed at Cedar Court Hotel. Who do they think they are? And then the second time they've come, got 16 skips and he says, I forgot Arsenal had been back. Yeah, I see. Wow, the Bradford City changing rooms, where every fan would like to be on a match day. Think of the fly on the wall. Exactly, think of the players that have been in here, McCall, Windas, Bobby Campbell, Juanjo Caracondo. Carbone. Carbone. Who's he? So it's a lot bigger in it. You know, twice the size of the away dressing room? Yeah, all you do is find where you go to. You always get the smaller dressing room because it's nice to make you feel not comfortable or so ever. So let's start on the game. But the shirts are out. I've obviously been working out during the week. Is there any clues to the starting line-up here? No, these are numerical order, but... Oh, yeah. So what it does, the three players, you get where they're hitched, Blake Clarke always sits there, little six in the middle, Hanson sits there, and Dabbit always sits there. So Dabbit gets a lot of space, doesn't he? Yeah. He gets like a whole bench in there. But we've only got one. We've only got one at home. At the time of filming, we only have one goal. But, yeah, behind these panels are the original numbers. So, like, from the 60s, 70s... You'll see one. You've got to lift it off, mate. You've got to look at this. Oh, I feel like I'm on a tanking. I feel like I'm on, like, Paul Daniels magic. John's calling in his assistant. We need to lift off. Whoa! What you find is we're lifted off. We're lifted off doing off further round, and it had number 17, but in them days, obviously, they only had squads one to 11, didn't they? Yeah, matches, and then no subs. So, obviously, they had squad numbers in them days as well for training. Interesting. So, directly to that, the late 50s, the early 60s, that were done. That's amazing, isn't it? Which other witnessing history? Oh, looking at history, we're not witnessing it. A lot of history at this club, don't we? In the famous changing rooms, we've seen where all the behind-the-scenes matchday action happens, and now we're taking a walk down the famous Valkyrie tunnel. Now, it's narrow, it's tiled, it's precarious. Geez. Which is the goal? It's where all the players imagine scoring that winning goal, making the winning tackle. This is where our footballing heroes get wedged, psych themselves up before they take to the pitch in front of thousands of doring fans here at Valley Parade. It's Valley Parade. The Coral Window Stadium. And we are Bradford City.
