    Or walk. As you say it's only 2 miles.

    Hi Barrow Fan!!!
    Got that sh*t heap of an away end sorted out yet? I'm still trying to get some money back for that one, as I didn't see Mr Dennis winning goal :brig:.

    If it's curry you're looking for, there's the Sweet Centre near the ground which is very well established. If I was to go for a curry after the gae I'd probably go to the International just out of the centre.. about 10 mins walk up from the Alhambra but you're as well gettng a taxi up so you don't get lost. If you have a bit more time the big ones are up on Leeds Road which is definitely a taxi job (absolutely do not walk there and back as someone suggested! haha) - Zouk up there is very nice but you have loads to choose from

    Cook overall contribution to the game is limited. However he puts into the back of the net on a regular basis. Young is our second highest scorer, but he gets slated for not contributing more and sent to Barrow.

    Yes but Akbars is in my opinion in the top 3 curry houses in Bradford and they serve beer so I’d just go there.

    Good choice. Might be an idea to book though as it's very busy. Loads of Asian families go there which is a sign that it is up to scratch.

    I think I noticed the 3 Singhs is reopening as International. Is it the same chain / owners as the one in town?

    I haven’t been for years. I think it must be a matter of taste but I concur with your assessment of the place. I have been in friends and family groups and the place is noisy. Lots of my friends and family love the place, so there you go. My favourite is the Keighley Shimla Spice. The curry houses have swamped diversity of different types and cultures of food in Bradford.

    Shimla is great for starters, but I find the curries a bit bland.

    You should always ask for them Asian or Desi style - they ramp them up a bit

    Perhaps it's time I tried a karahi rather than my usual bhuna, masala, methi, madras choices.

    We go to the Leeds Akbar's.. 15 minutes further in the car but a world of difference with bars and shopping on the doorstep

    A lot better experience and waiters tons better... Although I do miss the quads and imprezas racing up and down Leeds rd out of the window and happy birthday blaring every 10 minutes

    Isn't it mad that 15 minutes away from F1 race circuit of Leeds road you are in the centre of another city that is completely different to the one you are leaving.

    Traffic on Manningham Lane is absolute carnage at that time I'm afraid. You need the A3 Bus to Otley, which you can get from the end of Grosvenor Road (come out of the Midland Rd Stand, turn right,girst right and walk up Holywell Ash Rd, Right onto Manningham Lane and Grosvenor Road is about 200 yards on on your left). It leaves at 17.08 and takes 20 minutes to Shipley Market Sq, from there the station is about a 3 minute walk.

    I must admit I go the opposite way and drive. It is about 25 minutes in total on the bus/walk from the ground to Shipley, but that would be an optimum conditions journey.

    The distance to Shipley Station is about 3 miles. So factor that in even if you were to get a Taxi.

    An alternative is to walk smartish to Forster Square Station. There is a train at 17.11 to Shipley, where you can change. It is about a 15 minute walk from the Midland Road/Holywell Ash Lane area to Forster Square. A bit tight, but you should be able to do do it if the game finishes around 4.50.
