WTF -- You write some real garbage.

To even suggest the Asian migrant numbers in Bradford are affecting/will affect Bradford is bordering on the insane.

The non white population of Bradford rose by approx 2% from 1991 to 2001. and most of the non white pop.arent classed as immigrants - they are British born.
The next census isnt due while 2011.
So pray tell,,how do you know there has been an influx of Asian immigrants in Bradford.

Bradford are not losing massive numbers because of their stadium -- their losing numbers because of their on field performances

I'd like to know your source for this statistic of only 2% rise in non-white, by which I assume you include Asian.

l would like to know yours that suggests otherwise!!!???

Why are Bradford's Crowds falling again??? Is it because ''immigrant Asians" are not bothered about rugby league???? You really are stupid aren't you!!........Firstly how ignorant are you?? Secondly, how do crowds fall as a result of people who have never gone to games

Because the old people whose family lived in the area for generations are dying off, and the newcomers are people who don't care for rugby league.

It's a good job we play at Twickenham then rather than Southall..........because the predominantly white population of the borough are flocking to see us in droves aren't they......

Correct me if l am wrong, but pre Bulls, when the "old people" were quite a bit younger......Bradford's crowds were substantially lower than they are now???

p.s l await your next response with baited breath!

I did not forget about Saints and Bradford.

Saints are much more advanced than the ones I listed - Wakefield, Cas and Salford. I am not worried about Saints. They will be as much a success in building a modern stadium as they are in everything else.

I am worried about Bradford. Their stadium is not up to standard, and they are losing massive numbers of spectators every week by not having a modern stadium. Part of the problem Bradford faces is the influx of Asian immigrants in recent years who don't give a damn about rugby league. But Bradford's stadium is not as dire, not as repugnant, as Belle Vue. Moreover, Bradford remains a much more serious rugby league community than Wakefield. It is ticking off more boxes of the Super league franchise criteria than Wakefield. Bradford will probably scrape through in 2011.

What are you on about there has been a substantial asian population in bradford for a long time, most bradford asians were born here. Whats more slowly but surely more and more asian people are getting into rugby league.
