BRADFORD City's FA Cup replay at Reading will be shown on the big screen in City Park, the Council has confirmed.
The FA Cup quarter-final will be live on BBC One at 7.30pm on Monday with kick-off at 7.45pm.
A semi-final at Wembley next month against FA Cup holders Arsenal awaits the winner.
And Bantams fans unable to get to Reading for the match will be able to soak up the atmosphere by watching all the action on Bradford's big screen.
Councillor Susan Hinchcliffe, Bradford Council's executive member for culture, thanked West Yorkshire Police for offering to help keep the crowds safe on the night.
She said: "Bradford City Football Club has done a brilliant job for the city. Not just this year but last year too they gave us all a lot to cheer about.
"It's not everyone who can get to Reading on a Monday night so I'm glad we're able to show the match on the Big Screen.
"We are able to screen the match with the generous contribution of the police on the evening, we couldn't have done this without their support."
* Want to wish the Bantams well? Why not pop down to City Park (meet next to the big screen) at 12.30pm this Sunday when a Telegraph & Argus photographer will take a 'good luck' picture to be used in Monday's paper and online to send the Bantams off to Reading with all our best wishes. Just turn up in City colours and help create a really colourful picture!
