Bradford City (H) League One Sat 5th Oct 3pm

[bangsection]

Never really thought much of Bradford one way or another, they are just one of those nothing clubs to me. However, after their fine efforts against those bastards in claret and blue last season, I have warmed to them :lol:

Ar, any lower league club that turns the Vile over gets at least a couple of years' grace in my book...

Chatting to a Bradford fan today who wasn't happy we'd only given them 500 tickets, initially.

How many did they ask for?

[saddlerphil]

I'll go for ....

2-1 Mountfield & Platt for the Saddlers, Danny Cadamarteri for the Cocks.
5237 (1455)
Clive to score in last minute.
Having taken most of the pressure for the second half but Mr Walker will be in inspired form :wink:

Indeed. When have we ever offered less than 1900?

Like most clubs in our division, we just send an initial allocation at a guess. Pretty sure away fans can pay on the door. Suggests they aren't expecting them to bring more than 1900.

Bradford put up a message on their website saying that they'd sold out the 500 we sent them and that fans would have to buy tickets through WFC. They can still pay on the day, too. I guess we always send out a certain amount to away clubs for fans to buy in advance but Bradford fans appear to have been keener than most.

You'll just have to decide for yourself whether this means they're bringing loads or is just a reflection of the legendary thriftiness of Yorkshire folk (they'm £2 cheaper in advance).

They will bring a lot. Silly of us to only send them 500 to start with. Should have been at least double that.

I think they will make it "round the corner" at their end (unless the extra £2 on the day puts hundreds off!) which will be good as it should create a decent atmosphere.

[latviancheese]

They are on the rise at the moment, so would expect a biggish following for the division.

Ill be there should be a good game i reckon.

[saddlersam]

I'm bringing the missus to this one.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

You spoil her Sam... you really do. :D

[priestley_saddler]

Bradford once had a plater called Cec Podd.

This is amongst my top 10 favourite footballer's names.

He welded the team together, presumably? :D

I always rather liked Dominique Dropsy [former French international goalkeeper] and Steve Wardrobe [Ex Hartlepool winger from the late 70's/early 80's].

Anyway, another 1-1 draw for us on Saturday, with a Mantom 25 yarder being cancelled out by a Bantams equaliser. The attendance will be 5,286, including 1,502 visitors.

Belgian defender Mark De Man was probably the most appropriately named footballer ever.

Best comedy name goes to the ex-West Brom right back Bernt Haas :lol:

As for Saturday, I think we need a home win. 1-0, Butler.

[SWS1]

How about that bloke Scheidt who played for Celtic - and he was complete, er, rubbish, apparently. :lol:

[Welsh_Saddler]

According to the BBC website Julian Gray is in the squad for the Bradford City game. They say his signing was too late for him to be considered for last week-end's match at Leyton Orient.

So, if he's in the squad....does he make the pitch from the start, and if so, at whose expense? Or is he to be used as an impact sub? :?:

I'd bring him straight in to replace Lalkovic. Harsh on Baxendale, who did well when he came on last week, but I think we need to have a real go at Bradford tomorrow.

As an aside, if Sheffield United win tonight against Crawley Town we will go up one place in the table. :D

Brandy and Cuvelier start for the Blades, with Westlake on the bench.

(Edit... Crawley 0-1 up at Bramall Lane after 10 minutes!!)
(Further edit: Cuvelier taken off after 38 minutes and subbed - injury)

[latviancheese]

As the bagladies are not playing we have one coming along with us tomorow.

Lets hope we can put on a good advert.

I think we will win, 2-1
