Onto the important stuff Bradford fans, is beer served to away fans?

Because you’re fetching just 1,200, you’ll be allocated two blocks in the Midland Road - of which serves beer! The stand behind the goal doesn’t, due to it having an open concourse.

 

[shoddycollins]

Scoring a goal however looks like an impossibility right now. Maybe that will change if Clough returns, but I’m thinking the fact he wasn’t even on the bench last night would mean Saturday will come too soon to be starting.

I don't know what to read into that because I said to my mate before the game that if I was Chris Beech, Clough would be going nowhere near Bramall Lane, so I didn't get at all worried when he wasn't on the bench.

 

[F!RTHY]

Levi Sutton went off injured last night, so he may miss Saturday’s game. He joins Yann Songo’o and Oscar Threlkeld on the sidelines.

Caolan Lavery should be available, but this game might come too soon for him to start. Callum Cooke will have to take up a deeper position in CM.

Derek tends to play 4231, but I can see him switching to 442 for this one.

GK: Richard O’Donnell

RB: Finn Cousins-Dawson
CB: Paudie O’Connor
CB: Niall Canavan
LB: Liam Ridehalgh

RW: Alex Gilliead
CM: Elliot Watt
CM: Callum Cooke
LW: Abo Eisa

ST: Andy Cook
ST: Lee Angol

There’s a small chance Threlkeld might be fit, and I hope he is, because otherwise Bahamboula is gonna have a field day against our young RB.

Go to North Parade before the game. Near the ground and away fans always welcome, even after a game we have just lost.

In addition: don’t go to the Bradford Arms on Manningham Lane and later suggest that Bradford, as an away day, is shite because there’s ‘no pubs’. There’s about 50-70 boozers within a mile radius of Valley Parade. If you choose to sup in Bradford Arms, you’re a sandwich short of a picnic.

Thanks. X

Haha I’m well aware having done Bradford a couple of times now. Can never understand the comment about a lack of pubs - it’s one of my favourite aways.

Our game with Exeter is on, thank god because we don't need a fixture pile up. Should be a good crowd there too as Exeter travel quite well to us usually.

Yep, and you're guaranteed three points too!

 

[Bone Idle]

Can't see us getting anything at mansfield we never do! so i would bite your hand off now for a draw.

 

[shoddycollins]

Ive attended both games so far this season and whilst we’ve looked decent defensively, we do not look capable of scoring a goal. To be honest we look absolutely clueless when we get anywhere near the penalty area.

While we're on the topic of that, I'd just like to add that while I didn't attend the Sheffield United game, this was for personal reasons (too busy, to far) and there is no truth in the rumours that I've signed for Wrexham.

 

[Bottega Don]

We are three games into the season and we already have 6 players missing on Saturday due to injuries, how fun.

I imagine we will create nothing and lose due to a defensive mistake as we normally do.

 

[hellogregory]

Clough wasn’t training today so I’d say it’s extremely unlikely that he’ll be involved on Saturday.

 

[Moomin]

Yep, and you're guaranteed three points too!

Why so negative?!

3-0 City, Amond debut hat trick

 

[Devon_Lad]

Going for a 1-1 draw. We're the better side, undoubtedly, but with such a thin squad we'll struggle.

Think we sold out the 500 odd tickets in a few days and will be quite a few pay on the day as usual

 

[Indian Dan]

Not sure many clubs are doing POTD in these Covid times - almost certainly not for away fans.

 

[The Terminator]

Not so sure about that! We've had a days less rest and have a very small pool of players to choose from like yourselves, our bench has been mainly made up of our promising youngsters so far. We seemed to go full pelt at QPR and a few players got cramp.

We've played well overall in our first two games, Jackett has us organised and well drilled it seems, but we don't always look like taking chances. Aaron Drinan scored on Tuesday which is vitally important because he is literally the only fit natural striker we have.

Paul Smyth and Harry Smith apparently won't feature this Saturday either so it will likely be the same team as Wednesday night.

Well Matt Taylor said we sold our allocation out in a few days plus there'll be more paying on the day in his interview yesterday. We are doing POTD, too - well for home fans definitely, not sure on away side of things here.

 

[Indian Dan]

It seems that the home clubs sell the tickets to away fans - at least they did for us at Scunny. Carlisle fans coming to us tomorrow had to have purchased a ticket by yesterday!

Can definitely POTD for our away game at Orient

AWAY TICKETS: Leyton Orient | Exeter City F.C.

Our advanced allocation for our first away trip of the season to Leyton Orient have now sold out, however tickets will be able to be purchased on the day at the Breyer Group Stadium.

[Essex2Wessex]

Both Walsall and Rochdale allowing pay on the day for us (albeit with a premium to pay in the first case)

 

[kieran_vale]

Northampton were doing POTD for away fans as we had just under 300 of our allocation remaining at close of play Friday and could purchase them from the cabin outside the away end. You can also POTD as an away fan at Vale though price does rise a couple of quid.

 

[Indian Dan]

Even home fans at the CG can only buy tickets up to 1pm tomorrow. The old codgers will be livid!

Your club was a bit of a mess, thankfully sorted now, but maybe it's the last thing on their minds to sort out

 

[Devon_Lad]

Our away end very nearly holds more than some entire grounds in this league, you'll be alright. It won't be restricted.

We do have teams like FGR, Barrow, Harrogate and Bradford in our league, so that's not much of a surprise

Worrying about how they pay for a TV licence, now that some unscrupulous filth who enriched their friends during a pandemic, have stolen that from them being amongst their worries

Why? that seems an odd thing to do.

 

[Indian Dan]

Can’t argue with that

 

[JaredSUFC]

We’ve had POTD for both our games so far. And it’s the same with Salford tomorrow
