28 years I've followed northern/bulls man and boy, all I can say is we don't do things by halfs! There always seems to be some sort of drama down odsal, but it's never been dull! I can't imagine my life without this great club in it!

Just to quote from one of greatest coaches of all time Peter fox from his book:-

One September morning Peter stud on the field and looked all around the vast odsal bowl. As the scale of his surroundings sunk in, Peter could hardly believe his good fortune: "i was coach of a club that had once had one of the best teams I had ever seen, the northern team of the 40's and 50's, I was also coach of a club that possessed one of the most charismatic names in rugby league - Bradford Northern!"


We have a long and proud history that's why this club can't be lost!!!

My best memories:

2000 season : 96-16 vs salford still biggest winning victory in SL history
SL final Old Trafford 2002: 18-19 Saints drop goal stole it
SL final Old Trafford 2003: 25-12 Beat Wigan with class
SL final Old Trafford 2005: 15-6 vs Leeds we did it the hard way all the way through, 1st team to win GF after finishing outside the top 2
2007 play off: 30-31 how did we lose it, HOW!
2010 season: 22-20 vs wigan, awesome from 0-20 at HT Orford was immense in that game

All strange our highest attendance was againts leeds at 24k and our lowest was against leeds 10k, we have to break 25k this friday show that the bulls are still a force with a following that deserves them to be great once more.

Average of £15 a ticket with 25k people attending, means we should make £375k on tickets alone, just speculation on my part

What will i do with my collection of northern/bulls shirts going back to mid 80s that i have aquired

The week immediately after that game was incredible. The build up to the PSG home game where we lifted the Super League trophy in front of 17,000+ Bradford fans will never leave me. I do believe we won 68-0 that night as well.

Would have been even more but we missed 8 conversions too.

Paris did send their second team though - IIRC none of their Aussies made the trip, even though we played some mocking Aussie music when the their team ran out.

Could RL cope with the loss of the Bulls?
Would our rival clubs miss our large away following each game
We are a club that has it's financial problems at the minute admittedly but surely we can work our way out of this mess and actually come back stronger

This is so easy.....[size=200Trevor Foster[/size

A lot of personal attachment for me with the Bulls (like so many):

1/ My first job was working in the shop at the Bulls while in 6th form. If you had a squad number on your shirt when they were announced at the start of Super League, I was the person who printed them that first year (96)

2/ Coming back from 26-6 down at Halifax to win 26-30 - the best comeback ever. Especially when stood with the Fax faithful.

3/ I met my other half at the Bulls and we've been married 11 years this time - we can't be the only ones.

4/ Every Grand Final we've reached despite the end result - to be part of such an occasion was magnificant

5/ Winning the Challenge Cup at Murrayfield and Cardiff

6/ One final (you may think quite sad) thing. At the Bulls match against Leeds in May 2010 we were expecting our second child and were stuck on choosing a boys name. From a try scorer at that match we decided on a name there and then, and our son, born later that year, was named after that player.

From the posts I've read on here and my own experiences, the Bulls have somehow become entwined with all our lives. They just can't cease to exist. They just can't.

Good job Tevita had left by May 2010!!!!!

Who did you name him after?

I'm intrigued too!
Our kids were going to be named Jimmy and Bernard after Bulls players, luckily for them though, they were both girls!

He's called Elliott, after Mr Whitehead.

We did like the name of course, but wouldn't have thought of it if he hadn't scored!

With the benefit of hindsight, maybe Tevita would have been good - he would have been the only one in his class...
