    For some on here, Ilkley has a L***s postcode……..so a bit like Burley-in-Wharfedale, and Menston, although in Bradford Met, is it ……..

    Are you suggesting those who live here somehow aren't Bradfordians or City supporters? You should see the trains from Ilkley to Forster Square on match days. Absolutely rammed.

    Man Utd legend Tom Cleverley. We are also forgetting Lee Elam and Alex Nesovic (Champions League goalscorer!)

    It was tongue in cheek. I particularly like Ilkley! I have friends from Ilkley and Menston who are Season Ticket holders. The comment about the reach of the BD postcode, reaching well into NorthYorkshire prompted it. When you think of places like Horton in Ribblesdale (40 miles north) having a BD postcode, then it is hard to think of them as being in Bradford.

    It is what it is, Wigan for instance is part of Greater Manchester but 21 miles from the centre and has Wigan, Manchester and Warrington postcodes.

    Fair enough, I suspected that. It's worth pointing out that post codes are by no means an indicator of council boundaries. They simply refer to the main hub used by the royal mail to process the post. Nothing else.

    Dave was born and bred in Bradford I believe he went to Hanson Grammar School, he courted our lads wife back when they were teenagers, I remember him scoring his only goal for the club against Colchester United.
