Bradford City


After a good breakfast, I started out once more to the hills over to Bradford. It was supposed to be 10 miles, but I ended up doing over 12 miles as the sat nav was playing up. When I got there it looked deserted as they had played last night. Eventually I found someone in the ticket office and he was happy to take me into the ground. He was meant to be selling tickets for the replay in London (against Milwall) but didn’t think he would have many takers after the dismal 0-0 last night. The chap told me he had run 40 miles to Leeds raise money for the club when it was put in administration. With the photos taken, I prepared to move on but noticed a plaque commemorating the loss of life in the fire back in the 80’s which resulted in the removal of all fences from football grounds and much better stadia.
