    I park on Hillam Rd and walk on Midland Rd to and from the game, I have seen 2 potentially very serious incidents of this type, did not see the one on Saturday. We walk on the pavement where the parked cars provide a barrier because at some point in the near future somebody is going to get seriously hurt here and everybody will then ask why was this allowed to happen. You are correct in saying if this happened in London then it would be treated as a major incident, in Bradford there appears to be no consequences for the driver even though the Police are informed.

    No mate, we prefer trial by social media, and dishing out our own justice on here. Of course it makes us all the better people.

    As much as I agree with you, I don't imagine the police becoming involved until a member of the public, ie one of us leaving VP, makes them aware of these incidents particularly on Midland Rd. And that goes back to @Hoochy-Min@Hoochy-Min's post above ... Has anybody who witnessed this latest incident reported it to the police?

    I agree. I hope something like that never happens but it's only a matter of time imo.

    And that's why I'd encourage anybody who witnesses a close call to let both the club and the police know about it asap.

    I think you're looking too much into the wording of locals. I see locals driving like tw@ts when I visit the mother in law on Holme Wood. The word locals is not exclusive to Valley Parade.

    I know exactly what you were getting at. You're implying by your constant reference to 'locals' that anyone who used the word in this thread was a racist. Just have the balls to call them racists of that's what you think. Report the posters because you know no one wants to be that guy.

    You are part of the problem to be honest, you are so fast to twist something so that you can class it as been racist.

    I haven’t twisted anything. I read his post exactly how he’s written it. If he didn’t mean it come across in a certain way then he should re evaluate his writing because “2 local lads” and 2 ‘local’ lads are certainly not the same thing. The latter insinuate’s something different all together.

    IF you had said that all Asians are bad drivers or all Serbians or all Chinese or all Iranians or all Scottish or any other nationality then you would be displaying a clear racist agenda.

    I don't think you have ever said that.

    Like you say people will want to find an agenda even if there isn't one.

    You do know that the Highway Code is a bit more than roads are for cars and paths are for people? Have you ever heard of the Highway Code?

    To be fair your point is relevant, if people stuck to pavements it wouldn't be a big problem, but a lot of the time the pavements are unusable due to problems menttioned before.

    Believe me, i saw it and my son and his friend were with me.
    I would do anything to protect my son
    a brick through that cars window is the least severe punishment ive been contemplating after witnessing the total disregard for people and endangerment to life.
    @Nottsy@Nottsy These guys were taking the piss, acting the big iam and driving up a 20mph road at maybe 45mph isn't getting your point across about the lack of access around VP on matchdays, its attempted murder.

    Reckless stupid idiotic dangerous with no regard for other people this was the third time I have seen it how long before one of the idiots hurts or worse kills someone. It’s time to have police on duty to deter this

    Easy enough to take a detour. It's not rational
    to try driving down a crowded street.

    It will end up in tragedy if this continues.
