Parking near Valley Parade

Allen’s.

 

Was that the shop on the other side of the road from the Mecca that sold sasperella.

 

sasperella .....I remember my parents reminiscing about it...and I'm no spring chicken

 

Bus from Bingley or Baildon drops you off outside VP and takes circa 15 mins. To drive is just lazy and selfish, no matter how convenient it may be. Probably take you longer by the time you’ve parked up and walked on.

About time people shifted their attitudes towards travel especially such short distances.

 

When I don’t need to wear a stab vest then I may consider taking a bus - would also be a nice touch if they could get rid of the smell of piss as well.

 

A very fair point

It would be good if the council / First / Transdev / BCFC met up and introduced a £1 or £2 day bus ticket on matchdays, the roads would be much clearer, less air pollution on matchdays, and would probably benefit the city centre’s businesses on matchdays too.

 

Unless I need a cheap mobile phone cover then there’s no point in me visiting the City centre.

 

Draught Sasperella a real treat sadly missed

 

Some decent pubs in there now to be fair.

The new brewdog pub where the old spoons was is class - https://www.instagram.com/brewdogbradford/?hl=en

City Vaults had a revamp and is pretty impressive inside now

North parade is a decent atmosphere on a matchday


It is what you make of it, but there’s more than just phone and pound shops

 

Yes Dave, Edgar Allen’s. I was mates with their son. They also had a drink and Hebs shop Whetley Hill.

Yes

 

Aren't bus fares across West Yorkshire being capped at £2.00 per day from September with a TFL style tap in tap out system that will ensure you dont pay more being brought in ? Or have I dreamt/ imagined that ?

 

Can’t see that. Day tickets are about a fiver these days with singles around £2-3. Can’t see such a big reduction in fares permanently.

 

I imagined it. It's £2.00 per journey/ £5.50 per day cap.

 

No matter what the cost I wouldn't be using public transport, my daughter takes us down and picks s up up after the game, unfortunatly at my age walking to a bus stop waiting in all weather is not an option.

 

I caught the bus today and apologise for smelling of piss.

 

I've caught the bus a lot in the last few months and the above is true. Don't mind doing it to the football, means I'm not having to worry about parking and can have a drink if I choose.

 

I used to get the bus down but then had kids and wanted to take them too. The convenience of a car was welcome then and I wasn't arsed about having a beer if the kids were with me.

 

Sadly my mates have turned into a bunch of old wusses who don't go to the pub anymore on matchdays. Not mentioning any names......
