I asked a customer who's a Bradford fan this today and he said not really and be very careful where you do leave it as lots get broken into whilst the games on apparently

The name Bradford means “village by a ford.” The first part of the name “Brad” meant broad. So, the name should really be “Village by a Broad Ford.” The name referred to a crossing of the Bradford Beck at Church Bank, which is just below the Bradford Cathedral.

Bradford City is the only League club in England to wear claret and amber, and nobody knows why. The first game in claret and amber was against Hull on 20th September 1884 at Carlisle Road.

good stuff. should point out that if bradford first wore their current colours against hull in 1884, that would have been hull town.

like most on here, some of my ancestors were from bradford, along with a load of other places between here and wigan (arrghhhh!) and even scotland.

They were playing rugby at that point according to his post, so I'm guessing it was the black and white lot.

not played bradford in a competitve game since 2005 which surprised me
and the last game was a friendly back in 2011

also the game is on sky
 
Well given what Shota said in the HDM seems he is likely to keep much the same team as Saturday. Interesting to note that he also said that he would rather have the team playing games than training. Which is different to all the bleating in the press by many managers/coaches about playing too many games. Something I have never understood given that training can be more exhausting than a game and given that the players are twenty something years old and are at peak fitness. Refreshing to hear Shota say that.

That was a class day and taken from the only decent two seasons of the decade (two and a half seasons I suppose with the last part of TGE year)

Top of the table clash and Windass gets sent off after 10 mins - told Jeff Winter to '**** off ref' from what I recall.

Most the home fans park around the Kings Road/Queens Road crossroads near B&M. Be about a 15-20 minute walk from there, depending whereabouts you get parked. There's Poplars Park Road if you want something more tucked out the way but will add to your walking time.

A couple of seasons flirting with the playoffs to break up the dross.

The tease them.

I was probably stood towards the bottom of South stand for this game. The resolution is too low to pick out a handsome young lad sporting a fanny part hair do though.
