Bradford City are set to be out of pocket again after Wednesday nights 2nd postponment against Crystal Palace.

Bradford are set to have to pay out Crystal Palace a second time after Wednesday nights rearranged game against the Eagles was called off for a second time due to a frozen pitch.

Palace were successful and within there rights to claim for travel costs for the first cancelled game back in January , and are set to do so again after they were already in Yorkshire when news broke of the postponment again.

Gordon Gibb speaking to the Yorkshire Post said "Unfortunately the Palace team had set off from London at lunchtime on Tuesday and were already in Yorkshire when the decision was made, so it looks like we will need to pay their costs again."

The estimated loss for the costs Palace are claiming again is around £5000 the same amount Palace successfully recieved last time around.
