Bradford City Hire Asian Ambassador

by Deathy » 08 Jan 2009 13:11

I haven't got got a copy n paste for it, but they've hired some guy called Khan. His role is to encourage Bradford's asian community to come and watch football, feel welcome...

I just wonder, what do others think about this? Is it worth looking at? Reading has a huge asian community that can be tapped into.

I reckon literally within seconds they'll be eating each other. It's war out there on the front line of mulitcultural Britain. Although anyone who's ever lived in Wokingham, drunk in the Molly Millar and reads SQL programmers CVs for a living is better qualified to comment.

It's a Database query and manipulation language that you can write programs with - so yes it is Rainman.

Most of the Asians I work with in Bradford who are into football support Arsenal or Liverpool. A lot of Asians round here do play football though.

Bradford are doing a lot to attract new support though, whether it's cheap season tickets or initiatives like this so good luck to them. My one concern about the success of this is that the city is almost ghettoised into almost exclusively white and Asian areas, and to a certain extent, never the twain shall meet and there is an undercurrent of, if not racial tension then certainly mutual suspicion within the city. Having said that, Valley Parade is in the middle of a predominantly Asian area. The club also have a small hardcore racist minority within their support who would go out of their way to make an uncomfortable atmosphere.
