I think that's Matt Ryan from Wakey

I have news for you as for most Halifax people Bradford is the last place they would ever look for 'asylum'.
Its the other way around actually I know lots of Bradfordians living in Halifax or Calderdale.

shame can't say the same about the rest of the world

Fair point, you might say your club were the first to be "wooded" an afflication that doesn't help in the achievement stakes!

I used to think that Wakefield fans were the thickest mob in RL. Halifax fans actually make them look like a MENSA meeting.

For what it's worth, I used to work for a large public corporation [Royal Mail] in Bradford. As a place of work it was almost cosmopolitan, with employees from the whole of West Yorkshire and [way] beyond, with supporters of every RL and soccer club you might care to imagine. It's the 21st century mate; people move about, we no longer live and die in the village we were born in . People go to see elite sport - if they can't see that in their home town then they are prepared travel, especially if it's only a few miles, look at all the Bradford fans who [istill[/i watch L***s Utd, no matter that they're now nothing like a 'big' club.

So, am I shocked about people from Bradford living in Halifax? Well no, you need neither passport nor visa, you just go - one of my [Bulls supporting] sisters and three nieces all live very happily in Shelf with my Fax fan brother in law, so there's little you can tell me about it, to be honest.
