If anyone would like to order a copy of CG251 and have it arrive before Christmas, then today is probably the last chance to order a copy from the City Gent web site.

CG251 is £4.95 which includes postage.

Otherwise, copies of CG251 will be on sale on Boxing Day from 2pm

2 page spread in the Bradford Telegraph & Argus with an article written by me regarding the current City Gent exhibitions being displayed at The Record Cafe and Heaton Tennis Club.

This article will be available online on the T&A web site on Saturday

Coming soon!

The Art of The City Gent

An exhibition of front covers of The City Gent from the past 15 years.

To be held at The Record Cafe, North Parade, Bradford

And also at Heaton Tennis club, Emm Lane, Heaton, Bradford.

Part of the Capital of Culture, Bradford 2025

Happy to announce that The City Gent has made the shortlist of six for the 2025 FSA awards in the fanzine category. This is our 3rd nomination in the past 4 years.
The FSA awards take place on December 1st

CG250 is back from the printers, having received it an hour ago, so we’ll have some on sale at the EFL trophy match against Everton U21s this evening.

CG250 has undergone a new design and we hope that CG readers will like it, though it has meant the cost of CG has gone up to £3.

I wasn’t able to get City Gent issue 249 printed and ready for sale today, just in case fans are wondering why there won’t be any CG presence at VP this afternoon.

All being well, CG249 will be out in 2 weeks at the Luton home game. Here is the front cover cartoon as a teaser!

Today marks the 40th anniversary of the tragic and devastating fire at Valley Parade on May 11th 1985. We remember those fans that went to watch a game of football never to return home. Over 200 fans were badly injured and thousands have lived with awful memories of what they witnessed that day.

Been a busy couple of days at City Gent Towers and I’m happy to report that a 64 page issue CG248 has gone to print today.

I’m hoping that the printed copies will be back at CG Towers next week in time to be sold at the Notts County home game on Thursday 17th April

Well done to the club and all the volunteers that placed the claret and amber cards on the seats which were held up to make Valley Parade a sea of colour this afternoon

To the #bcafc fans going to the Cheltenham home game tonight, there’s a second chance to buy a copy of the latest issue of City Gent for just £2.

CG247 was on sale at the MK Dons game, but if you missed it then, look out for us before and after the game tonight

Thanks to everyone that bought a copy of CG247 at VP yesterday afternoon and I hope that you’ll enjoy reading this issue.

Next opportunity to buy a copy of CG247 will be on Tuesday March 4 at the Cheltenham home game when City go for a record 10th successive home win.

CG247 can be ordered online

I might be wrong, but I reckon that somewhere in Bradford today, a coach trip to London on April 13th was cancelled!

CG247 turned up expectedly early from the printers last Friday afternoon and the subscription copies should be dropping through subscriber letterboxes this week. CG247 is available to order via the CG website and it will be on sale at VP on Saturday from 2pm when City play MK Dons.

There’s another chance to buy a copy of CG246 at VP this afternoon for those fans that missed us on Boxing Day.

CG246 is still only £2 and full of interesting articles to read over what is left of the festive season, plus we have some copies left of CG245 which are now just £1.

Can #bcafc win a home Boxing Day fixture for the first time since 2012 this afternoon? Probably not, but I hope they prove me wrong!

CG246 will be on sale so do remember to bring along £2 cash today for some excellent festive holiday reading.

Copies of the previous issue, CG245 are now just £1

Issue CG246 arrived from the printers yesterday and by this evening 90% of the subscription copies are now in the postal system. I hope that they’ll be arriving before this weekend.

For non subscribers, copies can be ordered at the CG web site or Manny should be selling some at Notts County.

Hearing that former Bradford City manager John Docherty has died, aged 84. His 18 months in charge of City from 1991-1992 will not be fondly remembered as the feeling from the stands was “we want football” as the long ball play was both uninspired and ineffective. My ‘ransom note’ appeared in CG36.

Well done to the Charlton Athletic fanzine “My Only Desire” for winning the 2024 fanzine award at last night’s FSA awards

Well done to everyone that has been nominated at the FSA awards and whoever wins the various prizes will be fully deserved. Due to my ongoing fatigue issues, a trip to London and back would be far too much for me, so I’m sending long serving CG subscriber Martin Hickey to represent CG tonight
