always get excited for Bulls v Leeds games. hopefully Odsal will be packed! 14k+ would be nice, but a stretch.

Leeds by a single score for me

Friday night will be my first game for a few weeks (been really skint recently). Always look forward to the trip to odslum, A few beers at hill top then in to the ground for a few more (hope they've sorted the bars out this year). Leeds by 12 I feel we have too much out wide for them at the mo.

Forcast for Friday is rain unfortunately, the only plus is that the bulls fans get wet as well

It isn't the same since Mick Gledhill became sensible.Leeds by 10

I'll try catch a bit at a wedding reception I'm at

Been told that as of today 10,000 tickets have been sold. Yesterday Leeds had sold 500, but tbf, I think the majority of us will be walk up.

Don't mention Mick! Wheels will get a strop on

Where is Mick btw??
Seems strange without him and his "predictions" for Bulls domination.

Mick does commentaries both RL and Football .For hospitals I think

Mick has chilled a lot in the last couple of years, although I'm still the voice of reason on our commentaries

He still reads the boards but decides not to post. He is extremely good at what he does though and gets great reviews from whoever hears him. There's a reason the RFL like to use him for their commentaries anyway.

Friday should be fun though. If we go behind at all ill have to put up with him reminding everyone Bradford based that I am a Leeds fan

It started off as the commentary for the partially sighted Bradford fans inside the ground but as he works at the BRI he linked the two up and broadcasts to all the Bradford based hospitals. This year he has started doing a bit for Leeds hospitals and we did the Saints game together. He also does work for the RFL and has covered internationals and Grandfinals of all the divisions.

Good on him too. He has a talent that not many do, and his knowledge of the game is very good which helps

It just shows you that you don't have to go through years of Uni to do something like this if you're talented enough. I know some people aren't happy about that but it's a win for natural talend compared to being taught for me. It's not a career. It's just something he does (and puts a lot of his own time in) on the side side, for enjoyment and the love of the game.

Not the same without Mick's rants. Im betting he's reading this tho.

Over 16.5k at Headingley last month, appreciate TV wont help matters but Id be expecting 17k+ no bother.

The Bulls are expecting 13,000 or so and to get 17k they'd have to shift 7,000 more tickets. I can't quite see that happening.

Would expect 10k bulls fans (hopefully) then the throngs you bring should be close to 13-14k i would think
