I would miss the Bulls greatly & opportunity to post on this messageboard - I assume no Bulls means no RAB

It's been a constant in my life for nearly 40 years.
It has brought me more joy than anything other than family.
My whole life is punctuated by great rugby moments- success and otherwise.
Met my other half there. Married 15 years this time. Cut short our honeymoon to be at Wembley 97.
My kids now adore the club and the game.
Because quite simply I love them.

Great post - echoes so many of my memories - especially Wigan at Burnden park - got really really drunk that night and had to pay a big pnalty to the other half

Excellent post.

If you do a google search for "youtube bradford v leeds 1996" on the Duckman 01274 channel you'll find highlights of that magical day....you might even see yourself hugging a stranger!

It's unfortunate that our last period of success just (and only just) pre-dated Youtube. There are many great moments missing that, a year or two later, would be preserved for public posterity.

There are quite a few on youtube if you look about, and that 1996 semi was from my own video recording, which I've transfered to digital/dvd so I don't lose it. I intended to put lots of these moments on one youtube channel for just that purpose....only done one so far...if we go under and reform I might have to take it a bit more seriously and get some sort of online repository sorted properly of clips for people to view.

There are a lot, yes. Yours stands out, as does the Middlesex 7's final.

Can't find any Grand Final clips, and the only WCC game I can find (against Wests) is several videos of a few seconds each shot from a mobile phone in the stands. In fact the only final that's a quality recording I can see is the 2003 cup final.

Well I have "video" footage of all the bulls finals at home, inc the WCC's. If I ever get the time I'll convert, edit and post them on the same channel, hopefully it won't be all thats left soon!

That Middlesex 7's final vid is brilliant to watch back.

Often I want to turn the sound down and just watch when it comes to sport. With that I want to to turn the picture down and just listen to Guscott.

The first game I ever went to was the 1997 challenge cup final. I had played a bit of rugby at school and kept pestering my dad to take me to see a live game. We had a family friend who supported Bradford and said we could go to a game with him, but my dad said we'd be better off going to a union game and promised to take me one day. The family friend said he had two spare tickets to this final and would we please take them. My dad agreed, partly because it was at Wembley and thought it would be a good experience.

I remember arriving and my dad offered to buy me a scarf from a seller outside the ground. I sat down before the match, looking at the crowd, waiting. I remember thinking, should I shout? Should I cheer? It was the first game of sport I'd ever been to and didn't really know what to expect, and the only connection I had to Bradford as a place was that I had an unofficial scarf round my neck that said Bradford Bulls on it. Then the teams came out and the game kicked off...

We bought 2 season tickets the next day and aside from a spell down south for university, we've had them ever since.

As it has been something that all members of my family have been going to since the 1950's.
Bradford would be at a loss if the Bulls disappeared, there is the history and the pride that the Bulls bring to Bradford, what can replace that?
