National Science and Media Museum: How The History of Bradford AFC Could Have Been Different

Bradford City historian John Dewhirst presents a talk exploring how the history of Bradford AFC, and the wider story of the Bantams, might have unfolded differently. The session includes a Q&A, with audience participation encouraged, offering visitors the chance to ask questions and join in with the discussion.

The talk takes an alternative ‘what if’ approach to the club’s past, examining 12 key moments that could have had a major impact if events had gone another way. It moves from the Victorian era, when rugby was still being played at Valley Parade, through to the financial turmoil at the start of the century, giving a fresh perspective on the history of the club and its turning points.
