Until 1991/92 County’s record in the Associate Members Cup, (in its various sponsorship guises), was poor to say the least. Two wins in the first 17 attempts in the Competition. It all turned around in 1992 and we reached the final losing out to Stoke City in a game of some dubious refereeing decisions. The following season wins over Chesterfield; Chester and Hartlepool presented us with a Northern Area Quarter Final at Valley Parade.
I have seen us play the Bantams 33 times, and this game drew the smallest crowd of any of them, (2,790). But there was more than decent County following in the Midland Road Stand, still at that point in its original state – hardly wider than a pavement and not so much taller either. It provided for a good atmosphere.
County went off at a pace, and by half time were 3-1 up, with two magnificent long range strikes from Peter Ward, and a third Kevin Francis giving us the advantage. Francis made it 4-1 5 minutes or so into the second half and all looked comfortable. Give Bradford their due, they fought back into it and with 15 minutes to go had reduced the deficit to 4-3, after two penalties conceded by Jim Gannon and Paul R Williams. It made for an exciting end, with County under severe pressure, but we held out and got the semi-final spot. That was against Chesterfield, who were beaten for the second time in the competition that season. A Northern Area Final victory over Wigan took us to Wembley again and as 12 months previously that ended in defeat at the hands of Port Vale.
