Are they really playing the 'stripper' music at the end?

Oh great find! As I've mentioned on here before (although you'll all be forgiven for not noticing/remembering/caring) Bradford are very much my second club, for no other reason than I felt sorry for them when they went out of the league and disappeared from view. In the past I've written for their fanzines and also been a member of the Supporters' Club. They've long since left their original ground, but I've been to their new ground Horsfall a few times to see them (which like Withdean also has an athletics track). Also like us they spent quite a few years in exile before coming 'Back to Bradford'.
Currently just above mid-table in the NPL East division. They were doing better, but have just lost four in a row. A few years ago they did reach the National League Play-offs (lost to Brackley), but have had two relegations since then.

The old ground was a few minutes walk away from my halls of residence. The prime spot for Bradford students was a night club held in the cricket club grandstand, right next to the old pitch. It was a bit of sad sight to see the old floodlights on the abandoned pitch on the way to the club and realise this was once a thriving club.

Sounded like the Grandstand theme to me! Quite a picture, the idea of some lass stripping off to that!
