Bradford is a Metropolitan District Council formed in 1974 through the merger of 11 councils - the largest being the City of Bradford.

It includes Ilkley, Shipley, Keighley, Wharfedale and a lot of other places. Bradford itself makes up less than half the population.

It may be a one club city as far as football goes, but it is different for Rugby League.

However, it is still a big place with a large and close catchment area - so attendances around the 20K mark, partly driven by low season ticket prices, are understandable as well as impressive.
