All you have to do is scroll down the page for updates.

This is the place to be to follow all the action from the national stadium.

We will be regularly updating throughout the afternoon and, most importantly of course, throughout the big game.

The Chron’s photographers are in place, and we will be including images as well.

So if you haven’t been able to make it to the game, or even if you are at Wembley and want to know what we think of the action, this is where you need to come.

Midday:The Bradford City squad are the first to arrive... walking out on to the Wembley turf to a smattering of applause from the few fans that are inside the ground so far.

12:13pm: Still no sign of the Cobblers here at Wembley, but we are currently being treated to a schools’ match between kids from Gillingham and Morecambe, and the Gills boys are having a shocker. They are 2-0 down already...

12:15pm: And the Cobblers squad have arrived at Wembley, and are walking on the hallowed turf. Aidy Boothroyd’s men are suited and booted, whereas Bradford’s players were in tracksuits. Chris Hackett was the first to leave the pitch and head to the dressing room.

12:20pm: Got to feel for Alex Nicholls at this point. The striker is still recovering from a broken leg and is here with the squad, but as a footballer it must be the worst thing to miss occasions like this through injury.

12:40pm: Wembley beginning to fill nicely now, currently beaing ‘treated’ to Bradford City’s highlights of the season on the big screens. Cobblers goalkeeper Lee Nicholls is out warming up with Tim Flowers.

12:56pm: The team news is out, and Cobblers boss Aidy Boothroyd has sprung a couple of surprises. Dropped are Adebayo Akinfewna and John Johnson, and in come Clive Platt and Ishmel Demontagnac.

Cobblers team (4-4-2): Nicholson, Tozer, Carlisle, Cameron Collins; Hackett, Harding, Guttridge, Demontagnac; O’Donovan, Platt. Subs: Snedker, Johnson, Widdowson, Langmead, Akinfenwa, Robinson, Hornby.

Bradford team: McLaughlin, Darby, Meredith, Davies, Reid, Hanson, Thompson, Jones, Wells, McArdle, Doyle. Substitutes: Duke, Ravenhill, Atkinson, McHugh, Connell, Hines, Nelson.

1pm: Today’s referee is Keith Stroud.

Just 30 minutes until kick-off now, and the atmospheree is building

1:15pm: Gearing up for kick-off now, teams about to come out on to pitch

1.30pm: Game about to start - follow @chronsport on Twitter for updates throughout the game

Sorry for the lack of updates, technical issues here at Wembley.

Up and running again now - hopefully!

10 minutes into the game and it’s 0-0. No clear chances for either side, Ben Harding has a cut to his head and is bandaged up, and the atmosphere is crackling.

We are back online, massive apologies for the stop-start updates.

34 mins: It has been a nightmare for the Cobblers who are 3-0 down to a rampant Bradford City.

Men on target have been James Hanson, Rory McArdle and Nahki Wells.

The Cobblers haven’t been in the game at all, and easily could have conceded more.

38 mins: No sign of any sort of Cobblers recovery here. Bradford on top and dealing with any Cobblers attacks comfortably

41 mins: Still 3-0 to Bradford. Cobblers fans trying to raise the spirits of their team, but they are very much second best at the moment

Half-time: Cobblers 0 Bradford 3

This is going to have to be one helluva team talk from Aidy Boothroyd if the Cobblers are going to get anything out of this game.

In all honesty the first half was a bit of an embarrassment, with the Cobblers way off the pace in defence, and without any sort of idea in attack.

3-0 does not flatter Bradford in any shape or form.
