Bradford were another club to have multiple names! I can remember their team being Boomerangs, Tudors, Panthers, Northern, Barons, and Dukes - and probably by ba couple more names that I've forgotten!

One year I went they were called the 'SEKUD'...

Well. '09 SEKUD' to be precise...

At least that was how the signs that the cheerleaders held up read when the centre green presenter had asked them to show us on the back straight what they were holding up to the main stand on the home straight.... :D

Top notch presentation....

And has it got much better? 

;)

Following Glasgow, in the 1960's. girls on the centre green with boards T-I-G-E-R-S problem was when they turned to face the back straight and showed S-R-E-G-I-T.

Is it an optical illusion or is there quite a slope from the far bend to the one closest to the camera? Looks good whatever.
