00:00Now Bradford City hosted a promotion parades and party in the City Centre
00:06following their promotion back to League One. One of the players of the team Neil
00:11Byrne spoke about what it means to him and the rest of the playing squad
00:15following their achievement. We were chatting about it before I was saying to
00:20Cav take this all in because it doesn't come around very often can't get used to
00:24this especially with these fans it's unbelievable special special moments and
00:29it's just trying to soak it all up. Let's take a look now at some of the further
00:33scenes from the day itself in the City Centre of Bradford with all the
00:37supporters and the players and the staff enjoying the spectacle following the
00:42promotion back to League One after several years away from it.
00:59And the Yorkshire Evening Post's Lee Soward has spoken of the importance of Ethan Ampadu to League United.
01:18A word on Ampadu, he's been fantastic actually because you know first season captain of this club at 24 years of age you know.
01:26And I remember speaking to him at Thor Parch like towards the end of last year, I think it was in the autumn sometime,
01:30and he sort of said, I asked him about the captaincy and he said you know I'm still sort of trying my best
01:34basically to like learn on the job and just get better as I go along because it's not something that's new to him and you know
01:40first season captain to come in and obviously you know skip the team to promotion as champions. I mean that's some achievement at that age you know and obviously following in the
01:47footsteps of Liam Cooper who'd been there for ages and obviously what a wonderful job he did so yeah he's been a hugely
01:53hugely important player Ethan Ampadu and obviously you know so important to have that versatility that he can just drop back into
01:59defence as well from midfield which has obviously been key in the last you know in the running with Pascal out. So yeah congratulations to him as well he deserves to let his air down so you know we'll let him off on that one. I think fair play to him and I think most fans enjoyed his
02:11enjoyed his role in the parade as much as the parade really.
