according to some on t'other forum we're gonna be a dads army with all these over aged aussies we keep signing. seems to be a common myth about us. just to dispel the myth Ive done our likely 1st team squad for next year with ages at start of season. average age comes out a lot lower than most people would think.

Of your first seventeen the average age is 27. That's not bad either but it's worth keeping in mind given that the likes of tom olbison 18, kieron hyde 20, steve crossley 20, tom burgess 17, george burgess 17 and
andy tate 18 are unlikely to figure much.

Bradford are a team in terminal decline. We only get 1 fan turning up for home games, the club is £99999999999999999999999999 Million in debt, the average squad age is 98 and they are all Australians despite the fact there is a qouta on the number of foreigners and a minmum of homegrown players required and with the signing of Orford they are 1 Trillion Pounds over the Live Salary Cap.

People seem to forget that many of our older antipodean players have left this season - Solomona, Morrison, Tadulala etc

And we're all from Halifax or Huddersfield too!

....and only sing when prompted!

james is 18

We dont even do that. They play singing fans over the tannoy remember
