why is it bad ? who is more likely blow a stadium up a british prodistent or a muslim ?

What the fuck is a prodistent? Do you mean protestant you fucking moron.

 

[WilsdenBantam]

and theirs not a chance your support is 95% British white when your city is near 30% Asian....end of conversation

I take it you don't know how to use Statistics, this makes zero sense the two are totally unrelated.

We average over 19,000 fans and have a White British population of over 300,000, so actually you're talking out of your arse. Again!

Barry Stanton is a Wigan fan.

Bradford may have a high Asian population but it also has a superb cricket league which tends to draw in the Asian community as they find it more accessible than football.

Football isn't welcoming to Asians and that isn't a slur on the game but you only have to look how many are playing the game at a good level.

Without sounding stereotypical the Asian fans that do tend to go to games latch on to the big four rather than provincial lower league teams. I'd suggest you don't see many Asian football fans in other well populated cities with a high Asian community attending games, look at say Villa or Brum.

Apart from maybe the big PL clubs... you don’t see many black football fans at grounds either... or is that just me? I mean the reasons why are fairly obvious... lots of black players but not many black supporters?

Might be a northern thing to be fair I have no idea.

Cricket is huge in Pakistan for a start and India for that matter and is there main sport, neither have ever produced good footballers because it's a sport of no real interest in there countries. I'd be amazed if many go and watch Bradford, not because they wouldn't be welcome just that they don't actually have any interest in football.

 

[wiganmudhuts29]

sorry lads my mistake *Protestant spelling corrections are usually the place to go when you have no argument lol

 

[Bobbin']

200 mile round trip on a Tuesday night a few days before we bringing 1k plus to Northampton Saturday i doubt it. Only Blackburn, Bradford, Pompey and maybe Gas would take more in this league.

To be fair that's less than 300 more than we took to Blackpool and we're pony.

What about the poor Indians?? Where do they fit into all this?

 

[wiganmudhuts29]

i wanna see a statistic showing me Bradford city fans in the stadium are 95% British white lol absolute pap that...

I think that number is increasing but more so down south, any London away day you see plenty of black football fans going to games.

I think your racist undertones are pathetic not me picking up on your inherent stupidity.

Plenty at the bigger clubs. Unless you are born here you ain't gonna move here and support you're local club like sheff utd or bury as they have no allegiance towards them so a lot choose the big clubs, same worldwide.

good people

Anyway surely it’s a good thing to have Asians at the games?? Makes it more inclusive for everyone?

Not sure why you’d mock a club for engaging with its community really.

i am not mocking it to be fair i was just interested that's all

 

[bantamigo]

Don’t know what spin you want? We were quiet, as were you for an absolutely terrible game of football on an atrocious pitch that rarely had anyone off their seat.

I was there tonight, half decent following for a midweek game for us. Not sure on exact numbers either.

Don’t know about ‘pathetic’ either, but I suppose that’s just you getting on your high horse cos you get loads of fans at home in a big city, but your football team isn’t very good. Cheers for three points

Thought you were a big club though, that’s what all your fans say. Oldham bring more than you, they sing and they have to watch shite as well, therefore they don’t have pathetic support. Not hard is it. Cheers for the three points at your place, probably help us stay up.

Oldham is 25 miles closer to Bradford in fairness...

We’ve played worse at home this season than last night, even earlier in the season when we were beating you and Shrewsbury away. Been hit and miss all season, until the start of 2018 when we’ve just gone full miss.

yes bet your fans are disappointed,looked a cert to be challenging for auto promotion.

 

[bantamigo]

I never thought we would be challenging for autos but some might have been. We weren’t consistent enough especially when Blackburn got into third. As for playoffs you’d rather be in them than out of them but it was a sickener last year losing in the final. As long as we halt the slide before the end of this season and find a bit of positivity going into the summer I’ll be alright.

 

[SoutheySWFC]

Anyway on topic .... any idea on last night's numbers home and away.

cheers.

 

[bantamigo]

Didn’t get released officially. Wigan had the top tier of the Bradford End which is about 1000 seats but looked like a few empty ones, would probably say about 900. Home attendance will be given as about 18000 but would be surprised if there were more than 12000 last night.

 

[ProfessorGreen]

Our initial allocation for Charlton sold out within a couple hours of the England U20 squad announcement at lunch time today.

Only 2 players for Charlton called up to duty so game on! Trains booked. Bleddy expensive mind!

 

[Limerick Mariner]

Don't bite, that's what he's after. He knows it's not true as our average is about double theirs.

Incidentally, last Feb, bearing in mind it was a promotion season for them, they were averaging just 5,400 at home. Think they ended up with about 5,900 in the end, largely helped by Grimsby taking four thousand to them. Deplorable.

Speaking of Grimsby, see nowntheyre struggling, their average away followings have gone right off the boil. On a par with a Scunny, now...

If only we were on a par with Scunny, in fact their reserve team would improve 75% of our bag of rubbish...
