Bradford Frustrating

No it isn't. Our seats weren't marked as restricted view.

Very odd - ours were marked as restricted view, but were much less restricted than that.

And Saltaire, I wouldn't use Wembley as an example to make Blades see your point of view, you're liable to provoke spasmodic rage attacks. I was quite impressed by the noise the City fans made, but you need better songs! Just can't get enough one of my least favourites.

That old Midland Rd pic took me back, in fact there was an impressive stand on that side once upon a time. That shed lasted for several decades, right up until 1996 I think, that pic is taken pre-season, because in season there was shed on top, like a £99'er from B&Q.............for the ball spotter.

You had both the shed and the Bradford End in the late 80's. Tony Agana was playing and you had the first "illuminous" kit I'd ever seen, think it was chosen by Basset trying to gain any advantage, John Beck stylie.

This is the pre-PL Valley Parade ground, perfect!

So would Bradford fans now be looking to move? Seems strange to build such huge stands when a move would actually be justified.

Good luck this season, if you keep Wells you'll do well, but can't see it.

I'd say more would want to move now, like I said the ground is marooned in the wrong area. But, we no longer own the ground, we lost it when we went into admin in 2004. The funny thing is, it is worthless, it's a fact that it would cost more to dismantle it than the land is worth! If we progress then the rent is peanuts for another 10 years or so.

Wells is the key to everything, technically he is not that great and he relies on Hanson a lot, but, he is quick, a total pest and a genuine goalscorer, somebody will be buying a lot of potential.

A bit like the view from parts of our kop, only better.
