Bradford ointment sounds like something your smear on your arse after a curry the night before.

Should be a good read, bang at it they were in 70's & 80's. Always showed at Town.

Fair play to Bradford but a your front cover is someone grassing someone else up and b) mugs are available,. I don't know if the 2 are connected.

Once you've read one hooligan book you've read em all. I've read few,contribute nothing to football culture at all.

Fair play to the players and staff at Bradford City FC. Not often you get such a rapport with fans. To preserve the Ointment's reputation by consigning themselves to the lower divisions brings a tear to the eye ...

i can take on board some of the comments and agree that having read some of these type of books that some accounts will be exagerated and flowered up a bit,however i was a teenager in the 70's and a youngish man in the 80's and i can tell you young'uns that unless you experienced that era you can't really appreciate the atmosphere and threat of violence at almost every match.
Despite having to watch your back and constantly fear for your safety at times,they were great days where you made some great friendships amongst all the cameraderie and togetherness,and there were no shortages of laughs along the way,so when some old uns tell you tales of yesteryear,don't scoff because they will more than likely be true.

Very true Moon, even though i was only 10/11 years old when i started watching Town in the 83/84 season i was always fascinated with a bit of aggro walking down Leeds Rd when playing the likes of Sheff Utd, Leeds, Bradford and the likes.Sometimes frightening but always tinged with excitement!!! :  : : : : : |

If ur charging at each other ya dont run off  was that 75-76 ,end of season 0-0 game. i'd have missed me bus back to birstall if i'd not run, as it used to come just after the night games finished. can remember walking into the ground that night , walking onto the terrace and not seeing any familiar faces and realising it was all bradford. so we made us way into the cowshed. this was the first home league game with bradford for a long , long time. can also remember a certain town fan threatening the town fans on leeds road after the game when the city fans were approaching that if they ran he'd give them a 'strict talking to' later on. that same fan also managed to get a load of town fans to race leeds fans down lowfields road after a west riding cup game. Not sure what had happened but they all ended up on our bus to birstall with him telling them 'told you they'd run'. |

Been a few battles with the Sadford lot over the years. They always came by double decker bus in the 70's and parked on Canker Lane where the fair use to be and there wouldn't hardly be a car left that hadn't had its windows put threw
There was quite a bit of trouble after the boxing day match that we won 5-3. There was a poor lad on Leeds Road who hadn't been to the game and was attacked by about 40 of them "typical Sadford" and he was left on the pavement unconcious. They then met the Town fans head on and got a pasting, i bet thats not in their book!!.

we played them in a west riding cup game and in the league in a matter of weeks late 80s,the second game they were in the wagon/horses on leeds rd,we went on but was met with pool balls cues and a massive fucking mob of the oinment ,we got done big time there,one lad had his arm broke another his eye socket caved in!!after the game though town got it together and we scoured fartown for em,bumped into a massive mob and charged at each other only to find out we were both town lol....no stopping this mob now and when we saw them we really battered em,they were running on the viaduct and train tracks,they were some parked behind the old ice cream place on bradford rd and not one had a window left,some town lads pretended to be ointment and tried to get their top boy in the car<c......ns> his name....the west riding game that came before is famous for the mad axeman<top lad by the way> who was chased by the oinment but went home and got an axe and chased them...wonder if the book portrays these stories.i reckon it will be a good read if its accurate.know a few oinment lads thru the boxing and rave scene and they are good top lads....one of their top boys,roy,wore a fucking wig :iconlol:

They came in the terrace that day as well. They also nicked all the pool balls from the Broadway & bombarded the terrace with them.

I read in the local Bradford rag that £1 from each book sold goes to the Bradford special unit for burns research.

I remember Town beating them 3-0 in 76/77 and there was some pretty violent stuff going on in the ground and I remember them running riot in the terrace in 78/79(0-0). They had a nasty mob in those days and had a reputation. As has been said earlier, the fact that they were in the lowers leagues didn't always get them noticed.
