| The
Lord Clarke was arguably the worst pub ever entered after running out of
beer by 2pm on a Friday. The fact the menu writer had failed to
distinguish the difference between the pound and dollar sign was just a
side issue |
McCarthy
and Oaf had the glamorous view of the bus station from their rooms
window |
 |
 |
| This
pub had two dummies positioned on the roof |
Yorkshire
people are proud people |
 |
 |
| We
arrive at the Grattan Stadium. It was so cold half the terracing was
shut due to black ice |
The
stadium is a fine example of old school sport |
 |
 |
| You
had to descend down large grassy banks to make it to the terrace |
Large
sweeping terraces were an 80s dream |
 |
 |
| The
seating area with delightful color coding |
McCarthy
was sporting traditional Yorkshire head wear in a flat cap |
 |
 |
| Oaf
soon began kitting himself out in things from the club shop bargain
bucket - naturally, once the photo was taken he put it all back |
The
terrace begins to fill up |
 |
 |
| This
women was belting out songs before the game and was very attractive |
The
coldness soon see's Valder come up with the genius idea of using a wooly
hat as a makeshift glove in order to hold a pint |
 |
 |
| Bully
the Bull was one happy mascot |
The
cheerleaders prepare to welcome the teams onto the pitch |
 |
 |
| Castleford
have a conversion to kick |
Bradford
have a conversion to kick |
 |
 |
| 8000
loyal fans had packed into the stadium for the evenings entertainment |
Unfortunately,
this Castleford player was stretchered off with a broken leg |
 |
 |
| Bradford
celebrate another try |
This
chap had a lovely afro as he stares at his opponent |
 |
 |
| Brut
is, according to this advertising hoarding, for real men |
Technology
is still rather backward in Yorkshire as this hand operated scoreboard
indicated |
 |
 |
| This
was a more modern scoreboard and showed the manner of the Bulls'
convincing win - their first of the season |
McCarthy,
desperate to urinate, scaled a large bank at the bus stop in order to do
so. Valder thought it would be funny to shout "bus", causing a
loss of footing, slipping down the bank and a subsequent mud stain |
 |
 |
| The
use of a bus ticket to get the mud off proved to be a poor one, as it
didn't work |
A
model of a small model horse is found near the hotel |
 |
 |
| McCarthy
and Valder play with the horse |
No
trip to Bradford would be complete without a curry - Oaf enjoys a
starter that was reminiscent of a small piece of feaces |
 |
 |
| The
curry's had a definite kick to them being authentic Indians |
Oaf
shows his handiness at DIY by fixing Valders shower, whose previous
unworking nature forced him into a bath |
