Bronte L.F.C. was an English women's football club based in Bradford in West Yorkshire. Founded by Bradford City FC director Bill Roper in 1968, the club began playing in the Yorkshire League before joining the North West League in 1973. Bronte were invited to join the new Division One (North) in 1991 and won promotion into the national Premier League at the first attempt.[1] However, Bronte finished bottom of the League with seven points in 1992–93. After a disastrous Northern Division campaign in 1995–96 which yielded only two points, Bronte folded during 1996–97.[2]
