4th biggest urban area in Britain.6th biggest city in Britain . £100 for a season ticket near the top of the league that's a winning combination in my book.

Surrounded by massive clubs,one of the biggest Asian communities in the U.K. who mainly have No interest in the football club, BRADFORD mainly known for its Rugby League, had a few years in top flight, but there success is a lot less than Cardiff's.
£149 adult season ticket was on offer and 17,000 were sold,with in 40 miles about 15 Football clubs incl Man United,Man City, Leeds,Liverpool,Everton etc
Mainly always been a lower division club winning nothing, Great support in my opinion for the lower divisions :thumbright: :ayatollah:

Sold the tickets before near top of the League and for five years running sold over 17,000 season tickets and still in lower leagues, for me that's loyalty and great support :thumbright:

From one Prem Club Swansea :lol:

Real Cardiff fans would not watch the Jacks and they only hold 20,000 fans,17,000 home fans.

One million people between us both.

Bradford got all the Big big guns near them, at least 5 Big Prem clubs near them.

Cardiff has the second most park side football clubs registered in Wales and England.

Lets be honest for the size of our City and surrounding areas and our massive catchment from the valleys from Merthyr,Abergavenny, Barry,Bridgend to Neath etc etc,we should be getting 20,000 at home in the championship and it was only £50 for under 16s and £99 for Under 21's students.

I can drive from Bradford's stadium to Old Trafford in 35 minutes.
Bradford have NO catchment areas around them at all. the 40 mile radius all support Leeds,Huddersfield,Sheffield,Man United,Man City,Liverpool etc etc etc


Bradfords Support is from Bradford and the villages around Bradford,not glory hunters,real fans :thumbright: :thumbright:

Plus the big club for many years was Bradford Park Avenue, who still exist and get about 500 every home game in non league.

Rugby League gets, Bradford Northern have in the past had crowds of up to 20,000.
Cardiff rugby barely get 6,000,maybe 8,000 at home.

Rugby League is massive in Bradford.

I remember Bradford City getting crowds of only 3,500,spent most of their history in Division 4.
Always brilliant away support though.

I lived there,so I know it inside out,only local fans follow Bradford City :thumb right:


So yes Bradford City's home support in the lower leagues deserves respect like Pompey's does :thumbright: :thumbright:
