It's not the winning of trophies its the position in the league that frustrates me, if we were up there vying for places that’s fine, but to be way down in the bilges sob sob

Quote: Bulls Boy 2011 "1970s In 1972-3 Bradford lost the Challenge Cup final against Featherstone 33-14. In 1973-4 Bradford won the Second Division Championship and were promoted back to the First Division

This is the Histoy, well part of it. So if we go promoted BACK INTO the First Div then we must have been relegated.'"



I'm working on memory rather than anything written down in front of me, but I believe you are wrong

I think that what happened was that 1973 was the point at which the two division setup was first started. This was done by simply drawing a line halfway down the league table for the previous season. And since we finished in the bottom half of what was then one league (despite reaching Wembley that year) we ended up in the new 2nd Division.

So, technically, we were not actually 'relegated'

I've followed Bradford since 1952 and have seen many ups and downs, but mostly downs.

It isn't the fact that we're not winning much now that bothers me and it isn't the fact that we're near the bottom of the table. What does bother me though is our style of play....too many "schoolboy errors".....no game plan....and a total lack of match fitness.

** takes off pedant hat ** This is correct. We were, in fact, the highest placed club in what became the second division and won the championship in its inauguration year.
