Quote: inside man "There are a few arrogant tools from Bradford but you have to feel for the decent fans, we have been here more than most so know what they are going through. I wish them all the luck in the world, it's fine teams getting relegated but as a sport we are not big enough to have 2 of our best supported clubs languishing in the lower leagues.'"


Aye but whose fault is that?

Quote: Mr Bliss "And that "Bulls fan" won't be one of the 2 thousand who have stuck with them in their time of need.'"


Indeed and for every one like that there will probably be a 100 decent fans.
Bradford were arrogant when they were at the top of the pile, just as Wigan fans often are now and Leeds fans used to be (before their reality check of last season) but, lets face it, we all start to follow a club, sometimes on a whim or, because we've gone to a game with friends etc and some stick with that club through thick and thin or, thin and thinner in our case.

In Bradfords circumstances, the rivalry stuff is just unnecessary.

They are in the mire (again) and may come through the other side but, those wanting them to disappear or drop even lower should have a quick look in the mirror.
Our plight wasn't exactly any better until MC steadied the ship.

Personally, I think that we should show a bit more class and wish them well a046.gif

Well at your age surely you'll realise that maybe the other 10,999 aren't tarred with the same brush icon_biggrin.gif

This world was never meant for one as beautiful as me. WTRLC 2012 to 2014 "The wasted years" Magic Weekend "Whipping Boys" 2013, 2014 & 2015 2017 - The year the dream disappeared under Grix's right foot. 2018 - The FinniChezz Bromance 2019 - The return of the Prodigal Son. 2020 - Keeping the faith.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_2597.jpg



I would expect that most, if not all, of Bradford's remaining fans are a decent lot. The dross will have jumped ship long ago.

We had a Bulls neighbour who used to jeer us when my Dad, brother and I walked to games. The guy always wore some sort of Bulls merchandise on. Apparently now though there's not a speck of Bulls stuff to be seen around his house.

There was a couple in our cul de sac who went in the Bulls glory days who still live there but for some reason haven't been for quite a while eusa_think.gif

This I'm assuming will be the same dross some on here would welcome to our club with open arms or am I missing something icon_wink.gif

It happens at all clubs that have had past success, you've only to look at Wakey. In the CC semi there were faces I'd never seen before and after.

That's part of sport though and if we were lucky enough to gain a few along the way I would be delighted.

People like that winning feeling, it gives us a buzz, but those of us on here, for all clubs, see beyond that and can take more satisfaction from the wins having been through the mill along the way. I've been to many games where I've left happier than opposition fans even when we've lost as at least we've played well!

I dont get this Bradford hating stuff, and certainly not the wish to see them go out of existence. Bradford is a big brand, well known on a world stage, to wish them out of existence is to wish our entire game gone imo. We are a tiny sport, fighting for our very existence and with chips on our shoulders for good reasons when it comes to the media, but this is more akin to the Judaeans in Life of Brian, as the rest of the sporting world glances over its shoulder and watches us destroy ourselves!

The last thing I want to be seen as arrogant, and for me, not to recognise the place we have come from and the difficulties involved in keeping a club afloat, or finding suitable owners who know how to do that, would be arrogance - regardless of the stupid guy down the road in Wakey with his Bulls hat and his condescending looks when times were better.

Good luck to the Bulls, I hope you find a genuine owner who will spend within his or her means and keep RL alive and kicking in Bradford for many many years to come!

I've no doubt your right about some bulls fans' coming on here, some are just looking for an argument and some are just retaliating for things said against their club as do posters from this club do when we suffer harsh criticism, but my point is they're not all like that and I think you and one or two more on here think that all Bulls fans are guilty by association irrespective of whether they have access to a computer or not, I'm sure every club have that minority of fans.

Not saying all just more than folk wish to believe. The daughters future mother in law is a Bulls fan and goes to all home games and is one of those who understands what mess the club is in, the problem I believe is to get that " We are a big club " out of their heads and like someone posted earlier, start afresh , a bit like LUFC have been for many years.
