I'll be there, but its blind faith thats leading me and nothing else. I dont have a season ticket for the first time in well over a decade (work commitments mean I can't guarentee attendance every week this summer) and I spent some time on Sun thinking what else I could do with my £18.

My father who I go with has a season ticket as usual, and he was looking at the fixture list during the 2nd half on Sun and pointed out when he's on holiday this summer and said "well at least I'm not obliged to attend that game, you can suffer on your own..." Cheers dad, but from someone whos watched Bradford since the 60's (through more bad times than good) it was quite disturbing that he was genuinely glad to be "allowed" time off from Odsal duties....



Hopefully the team can restore a bit of pride of Fri




....my better half (?) is also coming, but she's a Cas fan.....I suppose at least one of us will be happy on Friday night

The only one not going will be our 4 yo son as it is a bit late for him. He was the happiest Bulls fan yesterday as he fell asleep at about 1530 and woke at the end of the match. He asked if we had won so I said yes. Am I going to hell?

Maybe just on day release for that one

I'll be going +1 as always

I'll be there, but it's back to the same mentality that was present last year - hope rather than expectation

I'll probably go more in hope than expectation, only to be let down again by another depressing display from a team with no purpose or direction stemming from a coach who is unable to convey his message to the players or is just crap. Can't wait!

If as some of you predict and you lose to us by 18-20 that's surely gotta be it for Steve Mac? I remember the days when a trip to Odsal meant a thrashing was in store. Similarly to us you've got a tricky start and I'm sure both teams now will target this as a game they want to win. You had a decent run end of last year and got a couple of "stars" in. Are they just not gelling yet?

I'd be extremely surprised if SM was sacked during this season. This is the final year of his current contract so to fire him - and pay the resulting wages/fees - wouldn't make much financial sense. Better just to see it out and try and get a replacement lined up for next season.

Not a chance.
My stay away protest started this time last year and will continue till Mr Macnamara is removed as head coach.
Ive no problem with him staying as an assistant under some one else just not as head coach.

Well, I reckon that one person with about 6 ID's makes up 70% of this thread. How odd, talking to yourself like that!

Funny how so many lifelong Bulls fans have only 5 posts between them.
Not.

Depressing it may be, but a true Bulls fan will go, sadly many floating voters will stay away as is their right. And if it really IS all McNamara;s fault - well, then surely the team you are supposed to support need your "support" more in times of strife than when the good times roll?

Oh, and plus you should all know we'll knock off Cas easily, and then you'll all be claiming you were there.

We will all be there - the curse of a season ticket. I can barely wait.
As for the away games - if last season is anything to go by, it might be the only chance of seeing a half decent performance.

What position was he playing?
