| Apart from the ones that have upgraded to radios, though, it will have come as a nice surprise to see on Teletext that they had won.

| I just love these Giants fans. You beat us at home something like three times in 40 years and suddenly you have all got a voice. Show us your medals at the end of the season, I don't think so.

Do you think it wise to compare medals when the chunk of yours have just been sold?
Giants do rely on Davy to keep the team going as do many other clubs looking to compete in the top 8. The only thing that has kept Bradford alive in the last five years is selling decent players (Peacock, Fielden, Lynch, Lesley, Hape) and buying dross to replace them. Other clubs who dont have a sugar daddy, live to their means, as other businesses do, buying players who they can afford. If a club is going to have greater outgoings than income, and rely on sponsorship/good cup run/playoffs, then they arent being run by the right people.
I feel for Bradford and their fans i really do, i used to enjoy watching them and recently they have shown that their youth system is still keeping them competitive. I just wish this animosity and constant ribbing didnt have to go on, its boring. We have had the tough times at Huddersfield, and have come through to build solid foundations. We know what its like and should support you through it. Similarly another West Yorkshire team that isnt Leeds finally looks like breaking into the Lancashire stronghold and SOME fans are finding every way possible to knock us down.

It's called Banter - if you can't take it don't hand it out. The reason the Giants aren't getting the credit you you seem to think they deserve (they are top of the league in April that is all) might have something to do with how arrogant the Giants fans seem to be. I mean the ones that stand down the pop side and then don't like to hear the partisan Bulls fans. What did they expect to hear standing there? Coming on here handing it out and then crying about it when someone takes the mick back.
Oh and I'd give up on the financial lecture in your position too - certainly while there is still Rugby League in Sheffield. It's very easy for clubs to get into trouble we aren't the first and we won't be the last. You mate have a very short memory.

Pot & kettle there son. Being accused of arrogance by a Bulls fan is a bit like getting a lecture on the evils of anti-Semitism by Adolf Hitler. Grow up.
It was just one game. No-one has won anything yet. If and/or when they do, fair enough. Until then it's irrelevant.

Grow up? Who the hell do you think you are? We might have been arrogant but have the trophies to back it up. You mate just have hot air and jumped up opinion of yourself.

Three of the players you mentioned in that list were released. Only Lynch and Fielden were sold for a fee.
If you're going to lecture us on how we've managed to survive then look up the facts first.

| He he, I like all this. Can I just mention that the Bulls have topped the league about the same number of times that Shudds have come bottom? Though I confess we couldn't manage to do consecutively, Like they did!! Boom boom

| As I remember Hargreaves was tackling someone then he made a big swinging arm movement with his right arm that impacted in the Hudders players midrift. Whether it was a punch I couldn't see. Alibert had an excellent view of it and ignored it until the melee ensued.
O'Donnell was binned for rushing in from miles away to the punch up I think but he wasn't alone. I was surprised we got the penalty.
While I'm glad we've shown a lot more commitment and aggression in recent weeks I do think we got a bit ill disciplined yesterday and it cost us. Elima's penalty for backchat was needless for instance though as my Dad said, he's probably the only one of the field Alibert can understand.

Alibert actually initially signalled a penalty for Huddersfield following Hargreaves "punch". The melee then ensued and afterwards O'Donnell was binned and the penalty reversed.

| Every club appears to have their fair share of prats some more than others
Yesterday stood on the popular side on my own and minding my own business whilst clapping my team off i was set on by two 40 something year olds pointing their fingers in my face and shouting the usual bile and vitriol in my face one so animated he was spitting on me.
Usual nonsense, no fans, propped up by ken davys money etc....
Now I was always told about people in glass houses
Bradfords away following at the Galpharm in the last 3 years has been probably the worst of any of the top 8 teams ( catalan excepted) and its the closest SL team to the Galpharm
Wasn't Bulls winning trophies when they were spending beyond their means
How is this different to the bank rolling by Mr Davy? Both spending more than their income.
I know there are a lot of very good passionate bulls fans but there are many who are downright abusive its a shame really

Apologies for those fans.
We haven't been a top 8 team though so its not really fair to compare us to those followings.
Its different as if you didn't have Davy you wouldn't be able to field a quality team like that. Spending beyond our means isn't the main reason we are in this mess either.

It's a sign of how things have gone this season that I am genuinely surprised by this.
