Bradford Welcome to Bradford, an industrial city on the edge of the moors of the Britain's West Yorkshire Pennines and in the heart of Bronte Country- where the Bronte sisters were born and lived and wrote their classic novels. The city is well connected with the outside world, having a short motorway (the M606) linking it to the M62 trans-Pennine route, and having no less than two main railway stations at Forster Square and Bradford Interchange in the city centre (the latter also containing an integrated and recently refurbished bus station). In sport, the city of Bradford has historically been represented by Bradford City F.C. (which usually plays at the local Valley Parade stadium), Bradford Park Avenue Football Club and the famous Bradford Bulls rugby club. www.city-of-bradford.com /welcome.html

bradford_away City's defence again failed to clear the ball on the edge of their own penalty area, the ball fell to Gary Locke who smashed the ball into the net. Thankfully, all of the 2,500 City support had made it into the ground before there was any serious action and discovered that Andy Goram who had signed on a months trial was on the bench whilst Youseff Safri was left out altogether. The reply from the City support was a "We want Strachan Out" chant which was very loud for those of us in the upper tier of the visitors end. www.geocities.com /skybluetillidie/bradford_away.html

Huge boost in city fight Bradford City's fight for survival was given a huge boost today as one of the club's biggest sponsors handed over a cheque for £55,000.

Bradford Sculpture Trail - Art - Bradford City Disaster Memorial The form of the memorial was a collaboration between the sculptor in Germany and Bradford City Council's landscape architects. The impact of the disastrous fire at the Bradford City Football ground is evident in this memorial and the continuation of fresh flowers surrounding it. Bradford is twinned with the German town of Hamm, and his wife, Joyce Reisner, was one of the members of the Hamm Civic Party at the Valley Parade ground on the fateful day of the disaster. www.ngfl.ac.uk /sculptrail/sculp2.html

11thmay.html Bradford’s deputy Lord Mayor Bill Nunn and his wife Betty, the Lady Mayoress, had been in it, playing host to the civic heads from the city’s twin towns in West Germany, Belgium, and France, who had come over for the Championship day. These facts are scarred forever across the collective consciousness of Bradford, and indeed many other towns and cities; people had come from all over the North to watch City’s young team parade the Third Division Championship trophy before the last match of the season. The game against Lincoln City was proving to be a scrappy goalless affair when, shortly before half-time, a puff of smoke rose from the seating at the far end of the main stand. www.geocities.com /citygirl_2000_uk/11thmay.html

Bradford City A.F.C. - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Watson was, at that time, the most expensive player in Bradford City's history having cost them £550,000, and was playing in only his third match for the club. The nickname survives, however, in one of the club's mascots, the City Gent, a man in a bowler hat who throws sweets to children in the crowd before matches. With this in mind, in the 1960s, attempts were made to replace the nickname with "The City Gents" or just "The Gents". en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Bradford_City_F.C.

Bradford City Women's Football Club City continued to press however and again took the lead when an Ellena corner was cleared, but only as far as Heather who once again did the honours firing low and hard into the corner to go in at half time with a one goal advantage. This time it was city who went on to score at the death when Yaz used her strength to hold off a defender before shooting and scoring in the bottom left hand corner. City looked much the better team and were rewarded after only 14 minutes when Super Yaz picked up the ball on the edge of the area, cut it back to Heather who duly volleyed in, one nil. www.bcwfc.com /results.html

Bradford City Bradford was given its Charter as a City in July 1897, just 6 weeks before Victoria Lodge was consecrated, and in 100 years Bradford City has seen many changes, so in turn their effects have been reflected in Bradford Freemasonry. Bradford was founded on "hard graft" and the members of the Bradford Lodges were representative of this breed of man that the environment produced; hard-working, honest, trustworthy and down to earth. In 1907 the chief citizen of Bradford was raised to the title of Lord Mayor. www.jawatson.demon.co.uk /victoria/victoria3.htm

Coventry Web - Chronicle of a Century - 1980 to 1989 On a day which made previous "Black Mondays" in the City look like minor hiccups, more than five times as much was wiped off shares as in the previous biggest fall, on August 6. Lennon was the archetypal Liverpudlian and it is the city, more than rock music or anything else, which will be mourning John today and in the years to come. Apart from ordinarily promiscuous gays, said the specialist, the high risk groups are those who saved up their money for a sexual binge in cities like San Francisco, Los Angeles and New York, and affluent travellers who pick up boys abroad. www.coventryweb.co.uk /editorials/chronicles/19801989.html

This is Bradford News Bradford was a pretty lawless place in its youth. Our police have been getting a lot of stick lately, both physically and verbally; but back in the mid-Victorian days, their job was just as tough. With the motorisation of the force, these too began to disappear in their turn; though they were remembered with affection as a warm and welcoming refuge by beat officers. www.thisisbradford.co.uk /bradford__district/bradford/news/jim53.html

SundayMirror.co.uk - BRADFORD - 20 YEARS ON As a young member of Bradford City’s squad 20 years ago, he was proud to be playing for the Bantams in their last celebratory match of the season, with the Division Three Championship (now League One) already in the bag. Football reporter LINDSAY SUTTON, a Bradford City supporter, was covering the game for Sunday Mirror Sport and helped out as fans tried to flee from the main stand. And if anything good came out of the disasters that engulfed Bradford, Heysel and Hillsborough, it was ground safety measures and proper fire regulations. www.sundaymirror.co.uk /sport/tm_objectid=15492501&method=full&siteid=106694&headline=bradford---20-years-on-name_page.html

Football (soccer) The Bradford City Disaster occurred due to poor fire safety in the stadium. Some of these, such as the Hillsborough and Ibrox disasters, were due to problems with crowd control. The level of passion with which football teams are supported has from time to time caused problems, as groups of fanatics have participated in disturbances and sometimes tragedies (see hooligans, Heysel Stadium disaster and Football War). www.sciencedaily.com /encyclopedia/football__soccer_

Bradford - City of Culture Although not making it to the final shortlist, Bradford's thriving arts scene and its diverse multicultural influences have made the city a worthy contender for the culture title, and as such Eagle Intermedia Publishing Ltd. is proud to have supported the bid through the active involvement of its Bronte Country and City of Bradford websites. Inspired by a rich and diverse cultural history, the City of Bradford in the heart of West Yorkshire's Bronte Country recently put forward a bid to be considered for the title of European City of Culture in 2008. Being home to Britain's National Museum of Photography Film and Television, the Colour Museum and the Bronte Birthplace in Thornton (besides a wide range of other museums, art galleries and theatres), the city has much to offer the eager "culture vulture" - whether interested in the historical perspective or a more contemporary theme. www.bronte-country.com /city-of-culture

Bradford City Football Club Feb 12 2003: Bradford City have taken 3 players on trial, they are Canadian international Brad Parker, Michael Simpkins (a 24 year old defender who was recently released by Cardiff) and 20 year old Man U winger Ben Muirhead. He had decided to leave to take the youth team coach's job at Bradford City, but he is now going to stay at Scarborough. Tod comes in because his club, Bradford City, can't afford to pay Dunfermline Athletic the £25,000 they would owe them if he made one more appearance for the Bantams first team. www.football-rumours.com /bradford.html
