| So, Big Crunch match on Sunday as Halifax aim to go for 5 in a row over Bradford
Will the Bulls actually bother to show up to play their local neighbours and end this run of bad results against them? Guess we'll see, won't we?
Also, could this be the week that the invisible man Lee Gaskell makes what could be one of his last appearances in a Bulls shirt?
And will the club bother to do any marketing for the game or just expect the put upon fans to just turn up regardless?
So many questions.... But will there be answers?
Probably not but hey ho, here we go

| Just called the club to get my ticket for this game and they have told me to wait until 1pm as there is an offer coming out.

| Halifax sound like they are as apathetic towards this shield run in as we are, conceding 48 points at home to Sheffield yesterday.

| Remember we got absolutely stuffed by Sheffield at home this season too. In fact I’d go as far as to say that “performance” was the worst I’ve seen in 30+ years as Bulls fan.
I fear for our current side if the likes of Yere and Mexico are in the mood again. We lacked stomach for the fight that day and we’re still lacking in that dept. Fax getting well beaten wasn’t what we needed either as it’ll serve as an incentive for them to put in a better performance this week.

| Think we'll hear a lot of talk this week and then another non-performance at the weekend.

Sadly, all that is quite correct.

Done. 25/01/17.: |

| Meh. Not really bothered either way. If the weather is looking crap I might stop in and watch the Olympics where a bit of sporting dedication will be on show.

This Sunday? That seems optimistic.

| Well with Fax getting hammered by Sheffield it shows there are nothing more than an average side. Its just that they get absolutely bang up for it every time they play us. We don't. It's an attitude thing every time with this game.
When the going gets tough or it's required for us to dig deel, our response as been utterly pathetic.
If they lose this at home the mood could turn ugly. 5 in a row?

I think we will get hammered to be honest, the players apart from a few did not look interested yesterday so it will be just a case of going through the formalities until we actually have a slightly more meaningful game to play. Most look like they cant wait for next season and the crowd yesterday was very poor as well and a lot of people commenting after the game they simply could not justify paying Bradford's prices for a jumped up friendly.

| Well it’s all gearing up to be a total non event. Should be quite a spectacle. A test of who is least disinterested.
I still think we’ll get turned over, Fax are obviously the favourites given their run of wins over us. Fax fans don’t get to claim otherwise.
If we win we’ll scrape it unconvincingly.
As a season ticket holder I feel no incentive or obligation to go. I’ve already paid but then again the Olympics are on which will be more enjoyable viewing I think.

| The incentive for the players should be that administration, and therefore a subsequent points deduction, is not yet out of the window, so we should be trying to amass as many points as we can from these remaining games rather than just assuming we've already done enough.

| I'm not letting hill-dwelling troglodytes show less interest than me. I'll be there staring into space, mucking about with my phone and toying with the idea of getting a burger but ultimately choosing not to.

| Wow.... We are feeling in the depths of despair.
I'll be there. Not overly bothered if we lose, but I'd prefer to actually have a team that loses (even if they can't be d) than be an RL orphan because we showed the same amount of fight as the Show Ponies have this year.
I have to believe that the good times will return. It may take a year or two, a new owner or a complete clear out of the team. So as High Royds is no longer open Odsal is the only place to be.
