🇬🇧 Valley Parade
Valley Parade, currently known as Mbanq Valley Parade for sponsorship reasons, is an all-seater football stadium in Bradford, West Yorkshire, England. The stadium was built in 1886 as the home of Manningham Rugby Football Club; it remained so until 1903, when the club changed code from rugby league to association football, and became Bradford City A.F.C. Valley Parade has since been Bradford City's home ground, and is now owned by the pension fund of the club's former chairman Gordon Gibb. The stadium has also hosted Bradford for one season and the rugby league side Bradford Bulls for two seasons, and has accommodated a number of England youth team fixtures. In 1908, the football architect Archibald Leitch was commissioned to redevelop the ground when Bradford City were promoted to the First Division.

🧭 The ground's compass · feng shui
The field runs SSE–NNW (155°). The year of the Fire Horse (丙午), 4 February 2026 – 3 February 2027.
- South-east end (155°): 9 Purple — celebration and the period's luck
- North-west end (335°): 2 Black — sickness · Three Killings (San Sha)
- South-west side (245°): 7 Red
- North-east side (65°): 4 Green
Grand Duke (Tai Sui): south (172.5°–187.5°) · Year Breaker (Sui Po): north (352.5°–7.5°) · Three Killings (San Sha): north (322.5°–37.5°)
What this is
Feng shui counts the year from Lichun, the start of spring, about the 4th of February, and its months from the solar terms — not from Chinese New Year. The Grand Duke (Tai Sui) holds the sector of the year's animal: a side sitting with him behind it is said to be supported, a side facing him to be confronting him. The Year Breaker is the sector opposite, and the Three Killings a quarter of the compass that may be faced but never sat on.
Of the nine Flying Stars, the 8 White and the 9 Purple bring prosperity, the 1 White and the 6 White help, the 4 Green favours study and romance; the 5 Yellow and the 2 Black are left undisturbed, the 3 Jade brings quarrels and the 7 Red injuries. The year's star stands in each palace all year; the month's joins it at each solar term.
A side defends an end and attacks toward the other, and the sides change ends at the half (each quarter in American football): this is the ground's year, not a side's fortune — a caution on the read, not a testimony for either side.
