Bradford City boss Phil Parkinson happy to draw former club Reading in FA Cup

Bradford City manager Phil Parkinson reveals his delight at drawing former club Reading in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup.

Bradford City manager Phil Parkinson was delighted to receive another home tie in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup and said it would be "great" to face his former club Reading.

The Bantams could have drawn the likes of Arsenal, Manchester United or Liverpool in the last eight, but instead Reading's number was pulled out as Bradford try to secure another Wembley appearance by reaching the semi-finals.

Parkinson knows Reading well having spent 11 years with the Royals between 1992 and 2003.

"Any home draw at this stage is a good one and this is a good opportunity for us," he told BBC Radio Leeds.

"I don't think we can complain at all and what an occasion it will be.

"It'll be great for myself and my family to be playing Reading. My kids were born there and I've got some great friends down there."

Bradford, who have beaten Premier League sides Chelsea and Sunderland in the last two rounds of the Cup, are ninth in League One, with games in hand on many of the teams around them.
