WEMBLEY: CITY IN AWAY COLOURS

Having finished higher than opponents Bradford City in the league table,
Northampton Town will wear their home kit a week on Saturday with the
Bantams donning their gold and black away shirts.

Keith Stroud of Hampshire will referee the game.

Around 6,000 tickets are thought to have been sold to NTFC season tickets on
the first day of availability. General sale begins on Thursday morning.

Bradford City are said to have sold 12,000 so far.

Bradford skipper Gary Jones believes his side are finding form at the right
time after a marathon season which will see them play their 64th game of the
campaign at Wembley.

Speaking after the semi-final win at Burton he said: "If we play like that,
we can beat anyone, I honestly believe that. On a good pitch at Wembley and
in a game that will be on an even keel.

"Against Swansea (in the League Cup final), that wasn't the case because
they are a top team and we hardly saw the ball during the whole 90 minutes.
But we will be up against a team from our division and that can only be a
plus."

Player of the year

Captain marvel strikes again at Bradford City player of the year awards

7:00am Wednesday 8th May 2013

By Simon Parker

Gary Jones is simply fan-tastic after being voted T&A City player of the year by the supporters.

Captain marvel Jones lifted the top prize at last night's Valley Parade awards ceremony – and he was also named the most consistent performer.

Jones pipped Andrew Davies and Stephen Darby for the trophy based on the marks out of ten that accompany each T&A match report.

But right back Darby got the nod from his team-mates when he was announced as the City players' player of the year.

The 650-strong audience, more than double the usual number, were in celebratory mood as City build up for a second trip to Wembley in the League

Two play-off final.

Jones, who was last week named in the division's team of the year and was also shortlisted for the League Two player of the year, acknowledged

the efforts of those around him during this record-breaking campaign.

He said: "The team spirit among this group of lads is absolutely frightening.

"I thought this season couldn't get any better but after beating Burton on Sunday it certainly has.

"To get to Wembley twice in a season after playing 63 games with the same bunch of lads is phenomenal. It's an absolutely amazing achievement."

Jones topped the consistency chart with an average mark of 7.17. Centre half Davies was second (7.03) with Darby narrowly behind his fellow

defender on 6.98.

Jones, the oldest player at the club, will be 36 a fortnight after the Wembley clash with Northampton. But he has played 53 times this season and

only Rory McArdle and James Hanson have started more games.

Kyel Reid, who won the consistency award last season, admits the veteran midfielder continues to defy the odds.

Reid said: "Gary Jones just keeps on going. He might be 35 but he doesn't stop.

"That rubs off on the rest of the players and gives you that boost to find an extra bit of energy. I hope I'm like that at his age!"
