bradford city football club is bringing communities together.ncouraging those from ethnic minorities — many of whom live near its ground — to come to the game. it's why a group of women from the british—bangadeshi community have become regulars at many of the matches. they're part of the bangla bantams supporter group. we have got as many women together as possible. and just basically get them to enjoy the experience the feeling, unless they experience by going to football games, they won't know what it's like. as someone living nearby, i am always seeing it, but i have never even imagined i would be going into a stadium or anything. when we first went with the ladies, they were praying a lot and saying we really want bradford to win. and when bradford did when, the excitement on their faces, they were actually jumping up and down. the elderly ladies were jumping up and down. when i first went to bradford city football to watch a match i wasn't sure how people would react, but they were normal. all the people who had never been with me, they enj
