Your Say YourBradford

Great idea from Centre For Cities. I have an Oyster Card for London and it makes life so much easier. At present the different fare structures in West Yorkshire are a nightmare. For example First Calderdale and Huddersfield fares are more expensive than First Bradford. This would force them to agree a daily cap for all fares. Bring it on please.  − cake, Bradford

Oyster Cards will boost transport »

My feeling is we have to put the emphasis on young, home-grown players and make sure that they get the best coaching and development and get into SL when they are ready. But that doesn't mean getting rid of all the overseas players. As people have said, overseas players have contributed massively to our game and raised the bar immensely. − micksey, Wibsey
