Panoramic Parade

I know panorama views don't work very well on Blipfoto, but I was quite pleased with this one and it marks another variant on my growing portfolio of Valley Parade blips.

We're 45 minutes before kick-off and most of the crowd are still in the refreshment areas, delaying their engagement with a cold November night. For a while it looked like the fog might encroach, but it did little other than provide some extra atmosphere around the floodlights. The weather certainly wasn't as severe as my last visit a month ago.

The occasion: a League One fixture between Bradford City and Blackpool. City's form has improved of late, and this was consolidated this evening by a narrow 1- 0 victory courtesy of a James Hansen header from a corner just before half-time. 

So up to 9th place in the league after 16 games. Top six by Christmas?
