Bradford successful with FA Cup appeal

Bradford have been reinstated into this season's FA Cup after successfully appealing against their expulsion for fielding an ineligible player.

The Bantams were thrown out of the competition by the Football Association last week because they did not receive written permission in time to play Newcastle loanee Curtis Good in the second-round meeting with Brentford on November 30, which finished 1-1,

But following Wednesday's appeal, Bradford say the FA has decided to fine the club and allow them back into the competition.
