Both sides fought hard but neither could create any real chances and it was no surprise when the match ended goalless.
This result means FC have now failed to win in five matches and while they remain in the play-off places, they are running out of time to catch leaders Curzon Ashton.
Karl Marginson's side are now 10 points off top spot with six matches remaining.
Having lost their previous two games, the Rebels can take some comfort in the point they secured on a bitterly cold night, but their front pairing of Stuart Rudd and top scorer Rory Patterson were forced to feed off scraps.
Indeed, it was left to the strikers to combine to create their best chance of the game. On 18 minutes Rudd sent a through-ball to Patterson, who had space in the Bradford box but hit his half-volley over the bar.
That effort was sandwiched between two excellent chances for the hosts, but on both occasions they failed to test Sam Ashton in the FC goal.
And there was even less of a threat from either side after the interval.

Well, it's not yet. With games still to be played, there is an ahem outside chance that we might not be going up as Champions but definitely, maybe, might be involved in the Play Offs instead. Saturday 26th April sees us play our last League game of the campaign, away at Garforth Town. Whatever the final outcome, this Season has been eventful to say the least and has provided us with many notable successes, both on and off the pitch, to be celebrated. So that's exactly what we're going to do, celebrate!
The Staff, Board, Management, Players and Owners/Supporters (that’s you!) are all invited to an End Of Season Party. Now under new Management, Sue at The Pack Horse, Manchester Road, Bury has kindly agreed to give us full and exclusive use of the venue for the night. Given that it will take time for everyone to get back from Garforth, the Party is scheduled to commence at 19:00 and carry on until late. There will be free grub, and a DJ & karaoke for your entertainment, with no doubt one or two surprises on the night.
Although entry is free, it has been necessary for logistical and capacity reasons to make the event admission by Ticket only. Tickets will be available from the Ticket Office at Gigg Lane from 12:00 onwards on Saturday 12th April, prior to the Lancaster City game, and will be limited to two per person.
For those who are unable to attend the fixture on 12th April, a limited number of Tickets are available by sending a stamped, addressed envelope to FC United of Manchester, 5th Floor, Hope Mill, 113 Pollard Street, Manchester M4 7JA (two per person maximum). Please clearly mark your letter "End Of Season Party".
Please note that there will be strictly no entry on the night without a Ticket so if you're intending to come along, please make sure you collect/send off for your Tickets.
