Quote: Duckman "Exactly. We have a long and continuous history, just with a few hiccups along the way! Gives me an excuse to link to this excellent blog I found whilst spending too much time on the net;
rlbradford fc, 1895, founding members, challenge cup and all thatrl
I'm sure someone (af?) posted a while back about a rl historian essentially tracing a continuous history of the club back further than 1895? To the 1860's?
Anyway, on the thread, I'm also surprised we haven't heard much from some of the old key players, I do wonder if that will last and who might get involved further down the line in one form or another.'"
Bradford Northern the History 1863 to 1989 by Nigel Williams (out of print now) the Bradford club was founded by Oates Ingham who owned a company in Thornton. Indeed it can be argued that he founded Rugby League as a sport. But not as we know it??
