Bit silly to mock our away following when you haven't brought a decent following to us for years now.
As for the derby thing, no chance,salfordd is our real derby game!'"
Are you talking about the Giants or Sheffield Wednesday now? |

At least we took a decent crowd when we were the better team, more than can be said for your lot!
FWIW, think the crowd bashing on here is a bit daft as I reckon most on here are the die hards who will be there home and away anyway!
But lets not let that get in the way of the banter  |

We can't help it if you choke at the important part of the season though! |

Right!
Now the best teams need to peak. Something your team haven't grasped yet, as they seem to do it far too early. I hope you manage it this year though, would be good to see you play as well as you have been doing in the play-offs. |

We kept being told that our squad wasnt good enough to win anything- so how does that make them chokers? Surely chokers are when you have a team full of Australian players earning a wedge of a pay check (and putting the club in financial trouble) and failing to make the playoffs- not a team full of "Wigan and saints cast offs" making them easily.

Which team is full of Australians? Which of these australians got this club into financial trouble? Would love to hear these facts.
Chokers, because your management, fans and players have all stated you are good enough to challenge for silverware. You have also proven you can be one of the best in the league on your day. When you can't back that up at the right time, that makes you chokers. |

| The Giants are on the verge of winning something and once we do it has the chance of snowballing. We now beat all the teams in sl on a consistant basis and have solid foundations to build on. Once silverware comes along then so too will the crowds. We've struggled until recent years to have a constant challanging team that has a chance of winning something and now we do its great.
The Bulls have had a sucessful peroid in sl and so too have Saints, Leeds and Wigan now could be the time of the Giants and who can begrudge us as we've finished bottom enough times but still stood by the club.
Its good for the game and good for the Town having a sucessfull club.
On a side note we brought a good following yesterday of approx 800-1000 fans. Not bad on a miserable day when the cost of admission was put up to £20, an increase of £4 if you bought direct from the Giants. The bulls only sent over 500 tickets which we shifted with no more tickets sent out.
Good luck in your fight for survival, its a shame that a City the size of Bradford has both a struggling Rugby and Football club and couldn't build a decent stadium if you put Odsal and Valley Parade together  |

Moggie, it's a shame the 800-1000 fans you brought to Odsal didn't all bother to come into the stadium - then we'd have seen them. I don't begrudge Hudds their success (excellent Coach that they have) nor would I belittle them as a club, but their support must be disappointing to you?

I wouldn't say the Bulls are struggling. We're doing alright under the circumstances.
Whilst unable to really threaten Huddersfield for large parts of the game pretty much all the second half included our goal line defence was pretty good. The side Huddersfield had out was clearly a much better side than us and did a professional job in bad conditions. It looked like we were just about clinging on but we managed it and kept the scoreline down.
Brough is one of the most skillful players around and showed it on Sunday. Did everything right picking the right kicks for the conditions. We had one outlet and he was pretty much closed down. The Giants will have easier wins against better teams than us this season.
The question for us now though is how we move forward from the last three or four weeks on the field. I just hope that the off field stuff doesn't start to affect things as it's nearing pay day for May in a couple of weeks.
The crowd thing's getting a bit boring TBH.

They didn't make as much noise as Donny the week before. |
