Now is the right time to drop the tarnished Bulls moniker and rename the club back to Bradford Northern and revive the proper Steam Pigs nickname.

Oh when the pigs go steaming in, oh when the pigs go steaming in...

I think that ship sailed back in 1996.

I would like to see us play in a “heritage” strip occasionally though. Like a “proper” Northern kit with the city coat of arms rather than the Bulls logo or that daft Boar’s head. The Aussie clubs seem to go for the heritage strip more than clubs over here.

I think this would be a kindly gift to our marketing team. "Hi guys, you know the whole Bull thing with it's myriad of opportunities for merchandise? Well we are getting rid. Instead you've got to somehow invent a whole concept from the word 'Northern'. New mascots etc."

'Northern-man' to replace Bullman. A great big stylised bloke in a flat cap and coal dust on his face who doesn't do the washing up.

BAH sodding HUMBUG

Sounds like most of the contributors on this site. #clothcap #supsteafromenamelmug #ferretdownpants

They can't all be as metrosexual as you and I Sam. I mean I even use moisturiser.

I don't even own a ferret. Rude.

As we are downsizing, and with due acknowledgment to Nigel Wood, what about "BRADFORD NORTHERN BULLOX"

How about the 'Sollywood Rimmers'

what no pidgens and a pint of tetleys ,what northern man is this you talk of.

Tha knows Tets is brewed in t'South old cock.

You mean you borrow one? that's unhygienic

I think the northern stuff was covered by Gateshead and Cap'n Thunder - best let sleeping dogs lie..

Anyway, I'm going to Scotland for the week on Saturday, so if I can keep the missis out of the pub for long enough, I'll have look round for any other 'northern' ideas....

Are you going to see Mystic Eddie? That will be a cheery time...
