Football focus: A tale of two tribes...

Ferno is a family of two tribes – well maybe three if you count Leeds United – but in the main Ferno football fans follow two teams: Huddersfield Town or Bradford City.
There is a lot of good natured banter today and the City contingent have been rather quiet after Huddersfield’s Terriers beat Bradford in the first round of the Capital One Cup.
Those who follow football will remember Bradford City’s odyssey in last season’s competition captured the imagination and earned them national prominence. But Huddersfield has made sure there will be no sequel to the fairytale.
Premier League sides may have proved little impediment to Bradford's progress last season, but this time they took their leave of the Capital One Cup at the first hurdle against Championship opposition.
Where Arsenal, Aston Villa and Wigan Athletic all failed, Huddersfield found a way to inflict on their Yorkshire rivals a first League Cup tie defeat in two years outside Wembley.
James Vaughan got back into the groove to fire the Terriers into the second round of the Capital One Cup and 90th-minute long-range strike by Nahki Wells left the home fans sweating through stoppage time, when Bradford forced two corners.
