Is Bradford a city? Yes, but is it the real del like us - not quite for me.
It wasn't until the early 1900's when it was ramped up to this status due to the church of St Peter being made the Cathedral Church of St Peter. Originally in the Diocese of York, the church was in the Diocese of Ripon before becoming a Cathedral in 1919, when the Diocese of Bradford was created. Despite Bradford's huge wealth at the time they were too tight to actually build a real one which says it all. Ditto it's University, that only gained it's charter in 1966.
Hence Bradford's city status is quite new. Our city status is real, ancient and noble.
See where I'm going with this ![]()
That does seem, dare I say a little pedantic Vasty. They are a City. I don't think there is a cut off date for being a REAL city.
I have no desire to defend them but it just shows double standards on our part when we argue with the idiotic Leeds fans that try to put us down and then use the same arguement against Bradford.
My limited online search shows City Status granted as follows:
Wakefield 1888
Leeds 1893
Bradford 1897
It's hardly a new thing.

Of course it's pedantic, I was giving him a bit of a wind up rather than a history lesson.
As for 1888, with a Cathedral by the old measure we were a city long before that.
Not that it really matters...

If by 'him' you mean me I couldn't give a monkeys if somewhere is a city, town or not. It's the people in there that matters (to paraphrase the great Pete Postlethwaite in Brassed Off). |

I'm not sure you have made your case any better.......I'm switching back to Vasty's side now. |

Whilst the SL teams are allowed to dictate what happens in RL when it applies to their side they will always act in a selfish manner and look after one's interest. If the shoe was on the other foot, Bradford would have took the money too. I'm not saying i agree with the decision but it's the nature of those with power to look after number one.
Hopefully if this happens again in future the RFL will act in the same manner towards the club. But in there lies the problem, the RFL fundaentally struggle to act impartial when it comes to decision making.
At least Bradford can draw a line under it all now and move forward. It's a horrible position to be in as we know more than most but they've gotten through it and can look forward towards talking about rugby and Jamie Langley's hair. Happy days!

Too much !
£20 quid at Odsal is pretty good though, especially when it was this price for the trial games against Leeds and Saints  |
