    I've never seen any Bradford City fan acting in such a way as you suggest, but I can understand why they prefer strangers not to be entering Woodhouse Groves property.

    *I* wasn't suggesting fans acted in such a way. The OP report seems to suggest that though.
    Threats of Police involvement, safety of students.....
    I was worried that there must have been a series of mass riots by the way the statement was so strongly worded.

    Maybe they have had an inspection similar to OFSTED who have questioned the safeguarding issue of having unchecked people on school grounds?

    That’s news to me I have never read a statement like this before, the other thing Woodhouse Grove do is use the council land for Cricket in the summer for junior cricket matches are they stating that the council owned land should not be used by the general public when these games take place, the top and bottom is I am sure Woodhouse Grove would like to purchase this remaining green space owned by the council but we all know that will not be possible because there has to be public green space in this area. If they have a major issue regarding security then employ security on the gates.

    That has been posted before and I can understand the school wanting to make sure there pupils are safe and are not faced with any sort of confrontation, we only have to read this weeks papers to understand that play grounds and the like are not as safe as they were years ago.
    The private land sign is there for City fan to see/read as you approach the driveway that leads to the sports area, if the team are around the back it can be accessed by the the public footpath which is a steady stroll along side the River Aire and you are still on public land watching from the pathway.

    If the school rents the grounds off the council for any events then it is up to the school to decide who can enter it, unless cover by a public right of way.

    Yes. If a piece of land is rented by someone then unless there is a legal right of way they can restrict access.

    Just to give you some info, there is a public footpath running diagonally across the football pitch
    Not the one that is now designated by fencing.

    He did say to promote the abolition of slavery :-
    "To instruct, to advise, to qualify those, who have been restored to freedom, for the exercise and enjoyment of civil liberty… and to procure for their children an education"

    That's what I call a politicians response. Answering a completely different question.

    Referring to education and civil liberty is relevant. Unfortunately I was unable to put the question directly to him (considering he's been dead for over 200 years).
    To be honest I'm not so sure he'd get along very well with some of our politicians like Boris Johnson, Farage, Michael Gove, Jacob Rees Mogg.......
