Really nice hotel,Royal Victoria next to Interchange Station. Much cheaper than any Leeds hotels this weekend.
We went to Valley Parade this afternoon to watch the Bradford City v Exeter City FA Cup tie. Lots of pubs here selling beer.
 
Reckon he'll be pressing the button on his suicide belt at the next set of lights.
Get the fuck out of the cab now!
 
Yes they’re mainly from Pakistan up there so muslim.

Bradford is actually not a bad night out I’ve been to worse places.
 
load of us stayed in that. hotel after the Leeds game about 10 years ago, Lenny drove down from Glasgow to come out with us. Strange town but we had a laugh. Ended up in a '70's bar straight up the road from the hotel, fat birds everywhere, l think they have 3 meals a day all chips.

Wild looking pub called The Queen directly opposite our hotel. Not too far to leg it to later if we have to fight our way out!

Don’t know if it was same weekend . Game was on a Sunday just before Xmas and we drew 2-2 ( 2001 I think) Lennon, Nig Redaway, Plewsy , Pete Welsh and a couple more ended up in my local . Lenny had a couple of war wounds on his boat from the game he played in Scotland the day before.

Cliftonroad, that was it, Glaze was with us, we planned to stay in Leeds but decided against it because of Lenney and people want to beat him up so booked into Bradford. I remember something happening in the hotel late at night with an Indian take away but can't remember what. There was quite a few of us, was you there ?

The 70's bar was funny with these 3 whales who tagged along with us, it might of been something to do with Dave Barson (normally is when women are involved) it didn't matter where you stood in this nightclub you was next to one of them they were that fat. I seemed to remember them ordering thierselves a pint of lager and. 2 pickled onions, unless that was a joke and it became reality.

Casper and Kes went by us on a bike. We blagged a box at Elland road with Eddie Gray and Peter Lorrimer but the locals wanted to fill us in, especially when City fans in the away end were shouting us. Always found Elland road the easiest in the country to get free tickets for the hospitality, I'll tell you our best method when l see you.


fucking hell 20 years ago !! crazy where's the years gone.

That’s right mate , Glaze was there , my mates up there used to love his/your wares up there.
I had them queuing on a Friday in that boozer .
Lennys driver was there too.
I wasn’t in Bradford the night before with you , met you at the game . Lenny was actually in with us in that away corner and got a rousing “0ne Neil Lennon@ underneath the stand at half time.
We went in the players lounge after and my abiding memory is Robbie Fowler looking at the screen that was showing the Liverpool game that must have followed ours and looking miserable as fuck. He didn’t want to be at Leeds he still wanted to be at Anfield.
Just shows what stupid wages Leeds must have been paying at the time.
Had a right session in my local that evening , I think Lenny was after the barmaid.

Was it Chris the Bear ? the driver, got an idea Woody was there as well because he moved to Glasgow with Lenny, he had to get out of Leicester if you know what l mean 😀
Must have been in the players lounge with you as l remember Fowler being in there.
Lenny would have been after the barmaid if she had a pulse without doubt !!!

Do you remember Howard Wilkinson being on the telly with a denim RL shirt that he tapped off Glaze ? Then the cup final were Leeds wore then white suits, everyone of them had a RL light blue shirt on underneath courtesy of Leicester, the thing is we couldn't get them all the same shades but they loved em that much they didn't care. Do you remember when John Burridge got nicked ? its in his book as well, Glaze got him going used to meet him at Weatherby or East Mids, then Percy started sorting him out and thats when he got nicked.
I forget about all these things until something jogs me memory. Jamie Lawrence mentions it in his book also😀
