Title: Bradford Away
Post by: Luci on Sunday, January 29, 2006, 10:29:21
Just a quick one to see how many are actually making the trip up to Bradford on 11th Feb?

According to the AA its over 4 hours by car which seems wrong to me as its only slightly north of Leeds and Leeds can be done in about 3 hours. Anyone know how long it takes or have been there before?

Its right next to Leeds, M62 between them.

Takes about 4 hours (including finding the ground) if u dont get lost like i did!

Last time I went to Bradford was 98 or 99. We had a midweek game. I was living in N Yorks at the time and took an American friend for his first experience of footie.

It was the year that they changed the name of 'linesmen' to 'assistant referees'.Twas freezing cold and an awful game. The assistant referee down to our right was having an awful game, sticking his flag up in the air indiscriminately.

Half way through the second half, during a lull in the 'entertainment' the assistant flagged for offside against Bradford. Groans erupted around the ground and down in front of me a Swindon fan shouted 'No wonder you're only the f*ckin assistant !' All around the ground fans of both sides began to chuckle, while the 'assitant referee' did his best beetroot impression !

Think we lost 1-0.  Don't remember much about the game other than this incident :(

Its pretty easy to Bradford.  Have relatives that live in York, so go up there fairly often.  With new A1(M) road, it means you can continue to M1 all way to Leeds/Braford.  Can do in just over 3hrs on good day.

Yep, Smith played well. First time he played in the middle of the park because King decided to....no because Hewlett went off injured and got replaced by Robinson who went off injured and replaced by someone.

Jerel Ifil also got sent off
