While I'll agree that in the past people at the club didn't listen to us supporters, from the feedback that I've had from Stuart and Andrew, they seem to be listening to us now so I'll put something to them along the lines of a classic Northern top with the date 1863-2013 on or maybe even try and arrange a warm up vs Australia (we never did get that game at Valley Parade against them in 2001).

leeds are already doing it (blatantly copied from england football team) with stars for each of their Grand final wins.

Such a shame it'll stop at four

Never understood the desire to
ignore the 1863 date in favour of 1907 (why not 1964 then a TC points out?). Also saddened by the failure to grasp the marketing opportunities offered by the celebration of milestones. The Aussies go big on it and while I realise that merchandise is something the club are loathe to take a punt on after the centenary shirts failed to shift very quick, it would be nice to see the history of the club recognised more in - for example Penrith Panthers turned an ordinary game into a big occasion by celebrating their 10,000th game since format. Would be nice to see the 150 celebrated in some style.

Using the same ‘Duckworth Lewis’ method, Bradford City will be celebrating their Sesquicentennial in 2030. Manningham, the very first champions of the Northern Union-1895/96, was formed in 1880.

you sure as I cant see them on my shirt nor on the pictures on the website

And some of us complained about completely made up centenaries at the time, especially ones that are more celebrations of the club breaking in two rather than forming.

I'll go with Professor Collins interpretation, but I was happy for any excuse to buy a proper Northern jersey in 2007!

I go along with professor Collins too, but the 2007 shirts (and other merchandise sold at the time) make it a bit difficult to now say the club was actually founded in 1863, at least without appearing to be money grubbing and only looking to another marketing opportunity.

Much as I (and others) may disagree I think, for the sake of credibility, the club has to stick with 1907, even though, as the rugby actually carried on throughout, the only thing which was founded on that date was the Park Avenue soccer club, and which IIRC is the date they recognise (or, at least, the date recognised by the 'old' Park Avenue club.

Completely agree but the club have stuck their neck out and decided for some reason to stick with 1907. If they make an about turn and change their minds it will make to club look rather silly!!!

I'm sure that if it presented a marketing opportunity and a chance to increase revenue the club would be able to put a spin on it.

Well, in terms of rugby heritage, it counts, even if they don't want to use it as a 'club' event. '150 years of rugby in Bradford' , not sure how they wore the old RA&B back in those days, but It sounds OK to me.
