Steve Evans, April 2013
"Leeds are not a big club. Don't get me wrong, they used to be, now they're just a circus run by puppets, watched by blinkered seals. If they ever offered me a job I'd turn it down. I want to be the captain of a cruiseliner, not the Titanic."

The same Steve Evans signs for L***s on a rolling contract.

The B-Ark / Bradford City v Crawley

One which might interest you since it involves your former boss (Steve Evans).

Think City missed a golden opportunity in not chinning crook Evans. Though at least Parkinson refused to shake his hand which then started the melee.

And not all of us went through the turnstiles.Some of us paid and went through the large steel gates near the turnstiles.

That was the case during BPA v Kendal game hence why the official attendance was 608 but it looked like there was actually more. Conspiracy theory perhaps. And also, why a number of posts mysteriously were deleted.

Well done Boston, terrific set of fans and hard-working on pitch as well. Good luck in Blue Square North. Hopefully, we'll get out chance next year up there perhaps with Kendal, FC Utd and Halifax.

If you coming by train, get off at Bradford Interchange and catch the Halifax buses which go past the road end or the Woodside service. One of the services leaves around corner from the bus station outside the Jacobs Well pub.

Alternatively, you can get train to Leeds and walk out of station and proceed past Queens Hotel and continue onto Park Row and then turn into the Headrow. Turn either left or right and catch the Halifax 508 service (leaves bus station, 10-15 min walk from rail station). Service is every 30 mins though it will take more than 1 hour to get to the stop on Halifax Rd (ask for Kings Road stop). Also Wibsey/Buttershaw services from Bradford Interchange are quite frequent if you are drinking in Wibsey village (pubs are ample here) and walk down onto Halifax Rd.

There is parking along road of Cemetary Road, behind perimeter of the bowl and along Halifax Road. I think the best advice is to turn early to get the best of the parking and fancy it will be a big crowd. Apart from clubhouse there is Kings Head 5 mins walk up road and a number of pubs in nearby Wibsey and along Halifax Rd. Coming off the M62 and then M606 there is Morrisons which has a cafe, Fryer Tucks fishery on Manchester Rd, Villagio italian restaurant just past the road end to Cemetary Rd.
Onsite facilities, there is the clubhouse for pint and mingle as well as the cafe for your pies and burgers etc.
The city centre is a 10-15 min drive away from ground with a number of Indian restaurants dotted around and shopping opportunities. Though to be honest, prefer Leeds and Halifax when it comes to the quality of retail in area.
I fancy Bradford will be rather busy on the saturday with Northampton playing at VP.

Admittedly, it looked larger than the official crowd given.

I hope you guys stuff Guiseley on Saturday. But careful Walshaw, the main striker for Guiseley falls over very easy off none or minimal contact. Also, the main tactic of Guiseley is to foul and stifle our play.

Bradford PA game off as at 2pm when most of the Guiseley contingent were at stadium or en route. Guiseley fans thinking about piss-ups and breweries springing to mind.

The B-Ark / Re: Prediction League - Boston United vs Bradford Park Avenue

« on: December 06, 2009, 11:18:16 PM »

One that could go either way. I'll take a punt at 1 all (cleosote territory). Bradford PA are currently playing decent football under Deacey playing how it should be on the floor not in the air which was reminiscent of Brook, Cameron and Sinnott.

Thought in the home match Boston were exceptionally unlucky not to come away with 3 pts.
