Manningham is also the location of Valley Parade football stadium , which has been the home of Bradford City football club since they were founded in 1903 and where Bradford RLFC played in recent years while Odsal Stadium was redeveloped . In 1985 the Valley Parade ground was the site of a fire which killed 56 spectators and injured at least 265 at the final game of the season against Lincoln City . The incident led to improved safety regulations at British sports grounds . As was once common with English football stadiums , the stadium takes its name from the road on which it is situated , Valley Parade being the name of a road that slopes down the valley off the A650 towards Bradford Beck
