City's preparations for this Sunday's Capital One Cup Final with Swansea City at Wembley Stadium stepped up a notch this Friday as Phil Parkinson's men left Bradford to make the journey south to their hotel base for the weekend.
A number of fans with good luck cards and messages of support were on hand to show their colours off and give City's players a cheery send-off as they headed for London via the Leeds/Bradford branch of the Cedar Court Hotel.
Local and national press, including Sky Sports News, were also at Cedar Court to speak to the players and cover Bradford's departure.
Parkinson's squad will spend Friday and Saturday at their north London hotel base, with a trip to Wembley Stadium for a tour of the home of English Football planned on Saturday, before the main event comes around on Sunday afternoon.
