It was a number of years ago when that slogan was coined. Maybe, superficial as it is, a similar campaign is needed today?

I cant believe that this thread has been started and commented upon by someone who relocated to Doncaster of all places, or is it a village outside Doncaster witha Doncaster Post code. Bradford is a northern industrial City that has fallen on hard times like many others. thats becuase the sources of employment that led to these towns and cities growing is no longer there! Places like Huddersfield, Wigan, St Helens, Warrington, Leigh, Halifax, Castleford, Pontefract, Dewsbury, Batley, Blackburn, Bolton, BUrnley, HUll, Sheffield, Doncaster, York, Wakefield etc..... Only Manchester, Liverpool and Leeds are growing, and thats because they hit the depths first!

Virtually every SL club would be seeking to relocate to Leeds or Manchester then????

all of thses places will have outlying districts that are very nice, but the town/city centres and some of the inner city areas will not be very nice! No Sh*t!!!

Would I walk alone in Moss-side, or Chapletown, or Toxteth after dark ??? no! nor would i walk through Manningham or Bradford Moor. Would I go out in Bingley, or Baildon, or Haworth? of course i would!

Bradford BUlls for me. I am a Bradfordian and follow them because they are the team that represents our city. end of. even keeping the name and moving the ground in to another locale would stop me supporting.

rl"We're Backing Bradford!"rl

Amusingly, not updated since around the time of the original completion date for the park.

Strangely, although that is quite recent, well, a lot more recent than the 'bouncing back' campaign, I don't remember it.


Maybe it's because I've become a bit disengaged and tend not read to the end of articles promising jam tomorrow? On the same theme, I wonder to myself, is my disengagement [imy[/i fault or is it the fault of the authorities in charge of leading us to paradise?

The only reason I remembered it was my bus stop where I catch my bus home on an evening is the one opposite the T&A building, and they have a mostly unmolested sign still attached to the building. If it was summer and I was regularly cycling home I'm sure I'd have forgotten all about it.

But I do remember Bob Holness quizzing a Bradford resident about Bradford's Bouncing Back on Blockbusters in the 80s.

Yeah, "We're Backing Bradford" just isn't [iquite[/i alliterative enough to be memorable, I guess.
How about " Burgers Backing Bradford's Bigger Bounce Back to Become Better"?

He wanted to see where all the beautiful people come from. That or be close to another right wing lunatic in charge of the town.



I cycled through Manningham every day for 10 years without much trouble. I walked home numerous time late at night as well. I must admit I'm not sure where Bradford Moor is exactly.

Are they Class A or B drugs?

Sort of between Fagley and Laisterdyke, more or less. Oh, and it's fine to walk through.

You're think of Beta Blockbusters. Bob Holness is a legal high.

Dolly Parton briefly considered buying a flat in Doncaster. Then she stopped smoking Bob Holness and changed her mind.

My mistake, rlthat was Rotherhamrl. Nobody has considered buying a flat in Doncaster.

Of course Bradford has much more to offer than Donny, new transport interchange, direct rail link to London, new college, new theatre being built and pride of place a new 15,500 all seater stadium.
Looking at the facts as hard as they are to stomach, Bradford is being left behind.

you can get a direct train to London from Bradford and in the Alhambra and St. Georges hall, there are 2 very decent theatres to check out the top names that are still coming to Bradford.
