To be honest it's not surprising people think Bradford is a right shit hole.
I know a lot of people that live in the villages, in Bradford, that don't go into the city center because of what it used to be like. Like Liverpool Bradford was in managed decline for decades.
It's had loads of investment, no where near what Leeds has had though, but its getting there.
That probably applies to pretty much any city centre across the country these days.
Most are now just full of cafes, takeaways, betting shops, charity shops and a Wetherspoons.
There was literally nothing in Bradford City center a few years ago, they knocked it all down and just left it. For years.
2 points as the thread seems to be about both season tickets for Bradford City and the city of Bradford itself and its environs:
1. That is really quite an incredible sales figure for season tickets!!! 14,000+! In the fourth tier!! Good for them. 2. Quaint Saltaire photos of empty streets and grandiose municipal buildings aren't what most people would immediately think of first when someone says "what is the first thing you think of when you think of Bradford the place?
I think MOST people would think of a very large Asian, principally Pakistani population that makes up anything from 26% of the local population to 56% of the local population. Particularly people that have never been there would think this.
As for what one thinks of when someone says what do you think of Bradford' City FC? Again...MOST (over 50s perhaps) would think of the fire tragedy in the 1980s.
anyone who slags off another town/city/county, should first declare where they live
Every town/city/county has its shit bits. London is the greatest city in the world but has some absolute toilets within it - some of them being very close to Charlton.
