I hate bradford and everyone in it and I'm locking the thread.

I realise that public criticism of the moderators is frowned upon, but, if you do that then you are a bawbag.

As most will know I'm from East Leeds, and rather randomly started watching us when I was 14. I have no genuine affinity with your City and it has frustrated me, annoyed me and delighted me in equal measure.

Your council has had me baffled for years. A combination of inaction and ineptitude on a range of issues. Then there's the city centre which suffered the 1960s and 70s cultural vandalism. I mean Wtf was Broadway? When I go to Halifax I see what you've lost. Perhaps Halifax escaped the 70s by not being deemed worthy of this most dubious types of "progress".

I don't understand bradford city. Wanting to stay in a stadium haunted by tragedy seems to counter all logic to me but that's an emotive topic and is for Bradfordians to reconcile.

That's just a flavour of Bemusement. On the other and positive hand I go to Bolling hall all the time. A medieval tower house and later mansion that continues to amaze me by being free.

Saltaire festival. I go every September to chill by the river, eat cheese, drink beer and take the tram up the Glen. I wouldn't miss it.

Then there's the media museum, cartright hall, the alhambra.

Today I opted to take the kids to Castleford. We watched a heavily tatood man with no teeth eating a hot dog. Compelling stuff and proof you can find quality entertainment in any town.

This I struggle to understand too, but I accept that it is a passionate subject for many people with real attachment to the club. However, not so long ago I was at Valley Parade and I saw a sign attached to the (rebuilt) Main Stand stating, "This is a no-smoking stadium". I kind of felt that if there was ever a stadium that this sign was not required then I was visiting it.



Dude, you should have said hello.

I think it was the last game of the pre-summer season. Me & the tigress had been to Leeds for a wander prior to getting the train to Cas. We'd bought nice cheese, a few pastries & some poncy beers. Cas were playing Paris SG. At half time we sat down on the terrace, it was nice weather at the end of the winter season. We were eating a bit of cheese. Gradually a crowd gathered around us. Finally a nicely tattooed woman said " Are ya French?".

I've seen you on a bike. I've also seen you take extraordinarily long lunch breaks.

... but you've never seen him buy a round

You can't rush hospitality.

Liberty, fraternity, hospitality

Justin Timberlake is the new head coach. You read it here first

Syria, Eritrea, Gaza strip, Wakefield, Platt Bridge ....

the list is [inot quite[/i endless.

Where's Platt Bridge?

It's the no man's land between Leigh and Wigan. Their version of Pudsey, but not as rabidly Tory.

A place that’s gone downhill in the past 20 years then? As a former Pudseyite I wouldn’t describe it as rabidly Tory. I’d say it’s a working class town really but because of the constituency boundaries it drags in a lot of tory types from areas that aren’t strictly Pudsey such as Calverley, Rawdon and Horsforth. As such it has been Tory apart from after 97, 2001 and 2005.

Pudsey just has not been the same since Terry Wogan died.

There's a privet Pudsey bear in the park. He's possibly let himself go a bit recently.

Just heard a rumour that Justin Bieber is moving to Leeds so maybe Yorkshire appeals to Justins

Rough d end of Wigan ...

.....
Predominantly white British with a few Eastern Europeans in the mix & the occasional person of African or Asian origin.

To be fair the none Wigan born contingency are doing their bit to lower the rates of inbreeding & raise standards in the area.
You've never seen the sort of $#!T I've seen put out for a bonfire, nappies included. Seems November the 5th is a good excuse for the white trash to quite literally grab their bins & scatter their trash.

Often called Platt [iWAZZ[/i or Platt [iVEGAS[/i to those who know.

$H!T€ H0LE.


I agree with Eddie, one of the best threads I have read in a long time, anywhere on the forum.

FWIW, I am a Mancunian & Moss Side ain't that bad, Moston & Cheetham Hill are worse IMHO.

Do they still have the steam engine in there? Been to Pudsey a few times since I moved to Stanningley but I haven't been in the park since I was Ridlerbull's size.

The Traction engine went off to be restored quite a few years ago IIRC. It wouldn't pass a modern risk assessment for what should be in a playground. I remember Pudsey park had two of the tallest slides I've ever seen too. There was absolutely no padding or anything around them. If you fell off the top you'd be dead. They were great fun but went with the traction engine too.

Can confirm all of the above anywhere with a WN postcode is abit rough

.

Moss side has imporved alot since the shooty stabby days

That's a shame. I have fond memories of losing a finger on that.

Bans all round for you lot on the Wigan board. Even those of you who even quietly chuckled to yourselves.

I have not been on there for a while. I got sick of explaining to people the meaning of words that had more than two syllables.
