Looking forward to Sunday. Think the team and fans will be fired up for this one.
C.O.Y.B.

I really cannot wait, it’s been a long time since I was so excited about a game

The teaser video is very good - simple, but gets the message across re the importance of the game, and sums up just what makes people still support the Bulls through the pain and misery of the last few years.

I have to admit to being nervous about this game, 2 points and we are all but promoted, lose and we can`t afford to slip up again. Do we have a fully fit squad? Whatever happens I hope both clubs are in the Championship next year as York are a club on the up and I would love another day out in the York pubs.

Laithwaite sounds like he's definitely out. Shame, as it's the biggest game of the season for both clubs.

Smith & Laithwaite appear to be the only doubts through injury.

Agreed. Great club on the up (as well as a new stadium) and putting some SL clubs to shame with their off-field stuff (while other SL chairman moan Catalans bring no away fans, York got a 3500 crowd for their cup game with them) People also forget York had real off-field problems around the same time we did, they weren't in the original fixtures release for last season only later being added and i'm sure they only had 15 players for their first game (happy to be corrected if i'm wrong) so they have come a long way
I've just made the following point on the York board: It's only 3 years since the Knights were homeless and volunteers were helping to put temporary seats up for a league game at Heworth (Amateur Rugby League Club), a match which probably drew 300 or so.

Fast forward to now, and I'd imagine 400 or so will travel across with the belief York have a genuine chance of victory. The club and everyone connected with it have come a long way in those 3 years, and although I think Bradford will shade it hopefully the progress on and off the field will see York joining you in the championship next season. Fingers crossed anyway!

Jordan Lilley added to the Bulls squad for this game!

I really really really don't get this at all. I know there's always a risk to our first choice halves, especially during the business end to the season, but who in the team gives way for Lilley?
Hope this doesn't turn into a situation where current players become pigged off due to an influential incomer being selected. It's happened before.

Very excited for this game, it’ll definitely be the game of the season!

Really looking forward to this one. Anyone know what the attendance record is for the third tier? Suspect we could get a good crowd on Sunday. Good weather hopefully, two good teams in a game that really means something.

I couldn't give a definite figure but Toronto were getting over 7K pretty routinely last season, so I don't think there's any real prospect of a record

5000 would be great achievement
