    We're Bradford City
    Bradford City (A) FC
    We've got by far the most pedantic supporters
    The world has ever seen.

    The ‘A’ wasn’t invented by social media types to avoid repetition with Bristol City or Brum, it is because that is our actual name! We are an association football club.

    AFC Bournemouth, AFC Wimbledon, Sunderland AFC, AFC Fylde, Hull AFC andRochdale AFC are others!

    Never once in 35 years watching City have I referred to them as BCAFC. It seems to be only modern day social media fanatics who’ve invented this ‘A’, presumably as with Bristol City or Brum had taken the BCFC.

    The point is we are Bradford City AFC, not Bradford City FC.

    Yes, both names are valid: the club was first registered as Bradford City Football Club, becoming after a few years Bradford City Association Football Club (1908) Ltd., then Bradford City Association Football Club (1983) Ltd., and now we're back to Bradford City Football Club Ltd. One can understand bits being dropped because the full name would be a bit awkward/wordy on programmes etc.

    Our Boar's head and Bantam crests do have AFC on them.

    I suppose that I am so used to BCAFC that BCFC does seem strange, and doesn't in the first instance suggest our club to me.

    Dear Sir,

    May I point out that the third line is metrically incompatible with the rest of the verse?

    Pedantically Yours,

    RCB ;)

    There was a young man of Japan
    Whose verses would never quite scan
    When asked why this was
    He said it's because
    I always try to fit in as many words to a line as I can

    Yep. The more irreverent, or even irrelevant, ballcocks we can post, the better our season is going to be!

    I really don’t care about pedantic stuff like that at 20 past midnight, Jon! Just catching up on City events after the game, having not been on this weekend. and wanted to pull up the poster incorrectly saying the A in our name was fabricated for social media, when its not.

    For us, both BCFC and BCAFC are correct in their own way and have both been used over the years. At any point in our history its been more a case of which one the Club preferred to use; here's what was being used in 1921:

    Ooohh...is it pedantic irreverent irrelevance week?

    Flak has no "c" in it. It's short for fliegerabwehrkanonen - something to do with shooting rabbits out of a cannon at fliers. :) A flack is an agent or publicist. Akpan must have had a good one when he met Edin.

    Will that get promotion?

    If you want to be accurate, it's Bradford City A.F.C. not Bradford City AFC.

    A chant that conveniently omits the 'A' to suit.

    Its definitely BCAFC
