| I know they were annoucing the new Dr Who yesterday but I thought time had stopped still for the last few minutes, nail bitting stuff. Still job done and two points in the bag and after the win over FC last week more points taken from one of the other contenders for the playoffs. I would not be surprised if the last spot was decided on pd - we are 138 adrift of FC but could get our nose in front of Cats and Wakey with a few decent wins.
I did not think the stupidity with the fireworks was anyone in the ground, but sad to see segregation at any RL venue.

| Well played Bulls, over 80 minutes you showed more savvy and class than we did. Should be an exciting race for 8th, we're not quite out of it yer but you've deffo jumped ahead of us now. Good luck.

Like the wakey stewards thinking it was Bulls fans before they realised it came from outside, lucky it didnt land next to someone, dont think people are stupid enough to throw fireworks at themselves.
Used to like going wakey when we could stand behind the posts but considering there where 8k+ in attendance the smart move was to put away fans down the side or all the home fans wouldnt have fitted in.
Big respect to the travelling Bulls though, glad to see plenty of us there.

| Pleased to win a game in which we showed plenty of 'grit' but not much common sense at times, particularly in the first half. You'd think they'd never heard of putting pressure on the opposition, the way they threw possession away with speculator passes.
If Wakey want to point to a reason they lost the game they need look no further than that first half, they had much more ball and territory, all be it on the back of a number of penalties, and they should have been out of sight by the half time hooter. The line defence was awesome at times from the Bulls, so much credit fort that. Funniest bit was the late penalty, when Sibbo with the headphones on [presumably on Franny's instructions] had two fingers in the air along with most of the Bulls crowd imploring the kick at goal - but they went for the try and got it!
I though we had a much more controlled performance in the second half, made some super breaks and scored some cracking tries on the back of the pressure we created. Just the sort of game most people expected to be honest, the sort of game that makes you glad to love rugby league. That said, why do I wish we didn't get the jitters [iquite[/i so much?

| Wakefield certainly had the chance to win it in the first half with the amount of ball and field position we gave them. We scrambled well but we really need to learn not to make it so hard for ourselves. The second half saw the tables turned and it was Wakey dropping the ball and taking the wrong option.
I thought our problems with the ball in the first half stemmed from a lack of direction. Gale’s kicking and passing was pretty poor with the pass into touch being a lowlight. When L’Estrange came on we improved and in the second half Gale played better. The intensity we showed when we scored the 2 quick tries was impressive.

| On the segregation thing I think it’s a shame it’s happened at Wakefield. I’ve never had any problem there but know some who have. I’ve always stood in what now is the “away” area and never had a problem there with viewing. I am of average height though and can see how anyone below 5’10” might have a problem. Hopefully they’ll get the new ground sorted soon and we can move on.
On a positive note the pies available were excellent. If only we had decent grub available at Odsal on a regular and reliable basis.

It landed very close to me actually.
The firecracker had nothing to do with the segregation I don't think. The steward said 'it was just kids messing about'.

You're not telling me you could see the touchlines? or even the corner flags. I'm pretty much average height but , even from the very 'heights' of the back of the terrace I couldn't see either for people standing in front. Even the "dug outs", which really ought to have lived up to their name and they might have been lower down, were blocking the view.
At least from behind the posts the only actual line you can't see is the dead ball line, though even there you can't see much of the in-goal or have any concept of where play is taking place in relation to the try line at the far end.

| I wasn’t right up against the wall Bulliac but about 2m back directly behind the dugouts. I couldn’t see the near side corner flags in their entirety and it was a strain at times but I didn’t miss anything although you couldn't see either tryline. Maybe I was lucky with who was stood nearby. I prefer standing on halfway at any ground if I can get away with it as you can get a better view. A bit more elevation to the terracing would make a big improvement but it wasn’t too bad. Not like being stuck behind the spiral staircase in the south stand at Headingley (now gone thankfully).

Oh get over yourself. Every club has morons, but to tar the entire club with the same brush as them is the most moronic thing. I was stood in the north stand as my friend is a wakefield supporter and he got me and 2 other friends cheap tickets for the game. We were happily cheering on Bradford and had no trouble at all from the wakey fans around us.
If you've a real issue with the club or the conduct of their fans, I suggest you contact the club directly with your grievance.

Bit like a woman I saw immediately after the game walking behind the Benidorm flats she was abusing the empty Bulls players bus. "Piece of **** Bradford!" she declared loudly. The driver seemed bemused.
"Damn you Bulls Players Bus! Damn you to Hell!"

Ignore indeed, well done to Bradford and good luck if you make the play offs, we would have made a pigs ear of it anyway.
