You don't. The farther away the better.

Did someone say you had to?
To be fair, the Donny fans weren't getting wet through either but they certainly enjoyed their day out to the full.

Is your support disappointing to you?

Bradford had 1400 at Huddersfield last year.

The only time I've personally ever seen that support for Huddersfield at Odsal was in 2006 (semi final).

Thought we were taking about this year not last year. Is not was.

I cannot believe that you Bradford fans have moaned and had a go at the support - or lack of from Huddersfield at the weekend. You should be welcoming and applauding any fans who pay money into Odsal and watch rugby there. It all goes towards your bottomless pit, oops I meant begging bowl, or no sorry wrong again fighting fund. It is amazing how wonderful these people were a couple of weeks ago when you were wanting people to donate, pledge collect money for you. I don't understand how you can all comment about supporting teams my grandad knows whether Bulls have won or lost by the way fans pass his house on a match day. He knows that you have lost if he sees people walking past when there is still 10 mins to be played. He lives in Wibsey and he sees it often. I also think that last year, and on a lot of posts this year Bulls fans have said that they are not going to games, both home and away because they think Bulls will loose, or because its on TV so will stay at home where its warm. Well unless the weather affects your health or the game is in France, true fans should be there every week regardless of the possible score. Fans should always stay to the end of the game too. Players put their lives both working and actual, on the line every time they play and regardless of whether they win, loose or draw respect should be shown to them for that.

Nearly all boll0cks

Just wondering why it is all nearly boll0cks. Money paid in is money towards helping save the Bulls. This thread is now on page 18, and most comments are knocking huddersfield fans and the amount of support they have, and brought to Odsal. My grandad does see people wearing bulls shirts walk past his house before the end of a bulls game if they are loosing. Players do risk their lives when playing - look at the Fev player who recieved a broken jaw from a tackle made by Chase. He is out for around 10 weeks. He plays in the Championship so there is a good chance he is part time, that means not only will he miss out on playing rugby, but he will also of had to take time off from his other job. All players deserve respect, you might not like what they do, how they perform or not perform but they are people and I believe that all people deserve to be shown respect. I understand you may not agree with my post that is why we have forums and topics to be discussed, but at least explain your point of view in response to my comments.

We are of course extremely grateful to anyone who donated money to help keep this club going, particularly those fans of other clubs who donated.

The thing is though that the people who are engaged in this bit of japery are largely the same faces that have been doing it on these forums for years. A forum like this is an echo chamber not only in the way we all usually learn something from each other and sometimes reach some kind of group-think consensus but also in the way we poke each other in the ribs in what is a mostly friendly way. It goes both ways, there's no harm in it and any animosity there is stands out for its rarity.

Anyone who donated to the club to keep it going surely did so to help keep things as they are - not on these forums but in general. Doesn't that entail all of this too? We're not ungrateful to those who donated, and I personally am not at all upset with even those who took the time to explain why they hoped we'd go under. We're just being fans on an internet forum.

It might seem like we're kicking your asses but that's just because there's not very many of you.

Where to start? Don't really care if your grandad lives in wibsey and sees people leaving early. Bet that happens at every ground in every sport in the world. What the heck has that got to do with anything. Bet no one can tell the difference, win lose or draw at cougar park

You go on to make some generalisation about Bradford fans not going to games because we might lose or it's on tv - baseless - how was the keighley v Sheffield game on the radio?

Where the chuff rangi chase comes into it I don't know?? Maybe I missed it because your sentence structure was giving me a migraine

We are thankful for every £ we get from oppo fans, I've seen what you said to Hindle XIII so not really in a position to have a go are you?

Nearly all in [iresponce [/ito giants fans, who are quite rightly ribbing us after a local derby win after we lorded over them for long enough, the wheel will turn...hopefully, but its their go on top at the moment, but you, and they, have to expect some back if you have a go at Bradford on a Bradford message board. Pretty sure all the huds fans have enjoyed this thread and taken the majority of comments for what they are, nonsence on an internet messgeboard between rival fans.


We have and do, were you at Odsal on Sunday or for the Donny game or Leeds game? The situation doesn't preclude any rivalary and banter though does it?


Hilarious.


Which people? If its Giants fans you mean plenty of Giants fans might have helped, and thanks to them, some definately didn't however and came on here and put comments on the vt to tell us so. In fact there is comment about p!ssing in any collection bucket form a giant fan on page 2 or 3 of this thread.


You mean like outside any sporting venue in the known universe when the home team lose? Shocking. You show me someone who says their fans never leave early under any circumstance and I'll show you a liar.



Really? Find and link to one post on here that said someone wasn't going to a game because we might lose. But each to there own anyway, no one has to go to any game, its all a choice.



Yes, obviously, and? Who isn't respecting the players? only in the last few games the Leeds, Donny and Giants players were all applauded off by the popular terrace at the end of the game.

I'm gutted I'm going to miss the return match at the galpharm. Hope you bring more than 700 fans or you are going to look very silly indeed. We sold out the allocation of tickets you sent and many more paid on the day so at least 700 giants fans attended- but still some Bradford fans stick their hands over their ears and go "la la la" looking at how many supporters were ACTUALLY at the game and not based on the inflated figures The bulls quote I would guess that the giants attendance this year will equal that of (the real figures for) Bradford. But that's not something that the blinkered fans on here will ever admit to. What I can say is that our support will continue to increase next year.
If you want to bring up the same old stuff at least stick to the lack of silverware comments-they actually do have some credence unlike the supporter comments which now do not.

Er, we do. Where has anyone criticised a single fan for actually turning up? 2.0654296875:10
