Bradford City have summoned the Valley Parade match-day DJ for an explanation after he played 'Road to Nowhere' in the aftermath of a 4-0 defeat at home to Wimbledon.

It was a fifth successive defeat for Stuart McCall's team and one which has left them fifth In League One, 10 points adrift of the automatic promotion places.

The recent poor form has intensified frustrations among fans fearing for the direction of the club since it was taken over by German businessmen Edin Rahic and Stefan Rupp in 2016.

Stephen Midgley tweeted about Bradford's questioned over why he played 'Road To Nowhere'

Some took exception but many seemed prepared to laugh at the gallows humour behind the Talking Heads song selection after Saturday's drubbing.

However DJ Stephen Midgley revealed on social media on Monday that he had been called in by the bosses and feared he might lose his match-day role.

Midgley via Twitter wrote: 'Said I knew it was only a matter of time. I've been called to City to explain the playing of Road To Nowhere. The end is nigh. #bcafc'

The club's account @officialbantams responded.

'Whoa, Stephen that's a bit unfair to share our e mail.

'We only want to chat about songs going forward. To inject some positivity.

'You've not answered our calls or messages all weekend? #BCAFC'

The public exchange triggered a backlash of opinion much of it in support of Midgley and his attempts to raise a smile amid the gloom.

Bradford's chief operating officer James Mason took to Twitter in an attempted to soothe the friction.

'You know at #BCAFC we never take ourselves too seriously,' said Mason, in a reply to one supporter. 'Storm in a tea cup. Let's move on & focus on Saturday'

Bradford, beaten by Millwall in last season's play-off final at Wembley, are at Oldham on Saturday.
