I thought you were alright in the first half, probably unlucky to not go in winning at half time. Only one team in it in the second half though, I would have been gutted if we didn't get the 3 points. Good performance in front of the massed ranks of the away support. Doubt you'll go down and hopefully we won't either so no doubt we'll see you again next year.

Fair does, I won't disagree with you there. I don't like the Bulls and Odsal is indeed a shit hole!

Noone really, it's not my sport.
I dislike the Bulls for the simple fact that their board bums the council, who subsequently do absolutely nothing to help the city's football club, even back when we were higher up in the footballing pyramid.
We lose feck knows how much money every year as we don't own Valley Parade and we have to rent it out, yet the council is prepared to spend millions to put a pointless roof on Odsal to please a few thousand Bulls fans. Most would say they shouldn't be helping Bulls or City and I'd agree but I can't see the point of supporting one team so much and doing frig all for the other, especially as a successful football team would bring so many more benefits to the city than the Bulls do.

Completely agree. Bradford council are notorious for things like that though. They have always supported the Bulls over City. I mean Odsal is practically underground and an ex council tip. Can't stand councils that are so biased. Then again, Leeds council is bent the other way... though they have to take more notice of the Rhinos now we are winning things again!

Bradford council are notorious for things like that though. They are notorious for a lot of things unfortunately. They've turned the city centre into a bombsite for example. It's embarrassing. I'm just glad I don't live here full time anymore. The suburbs are alright but there's no point going into the centre as it's more trouble than it's worth when you're a bus/train ride away from somewhere like Leeds. That said I don't even go to Leeds anymore as I'm at York Uni and York's even nicer. ;D

The best thing about Bradford is the Photography museum. I love it ;D

Yeah it's very good to be fair, gets a lot of funding from the gov though so it better be! There are some really nice buildings in the centre too. Unfortunately it's gotta be one of the worst cities in UK for shopping and nightlife, which are pretty much the only things you want in a modern city. Shame really.

I love it me, what makes you say it's boring? The nightlife is great, plenty of bars and clubs and there is one pub for every day of the year, or so the legend goes. You must know that if you've got a York emblem in your sig surely?

You must know that if you've got a York emblem in your sig surely? I live in York, about 5mins from the uni! It's a lovely city, in that it's reasonably quiet and picturesque but because it's so touristy, it gets boring. The city needs the industry so it caters for it, but doesn't for the locals in many ways. Yes you have you basic shops and high street brands and yes, there are loads of pubs but only a handful are actually any good; most are pretentious, touristy (therefore really expensive) or just full of old peeps! The night clubs are rubbish! Even The Gallery is gonna close down, Cert 18 has just closed down, I mean.. it's all a bit naff tbh for nights out at least!
