Bradford Fans.....

Did the two(?) Bradford fans that ran onto the perimeter track after Bradford scored get caught by stewards?

Some of the sourest grapes and poorest losers I've ever seen...

 

...they seem convinced they're better than they are.

 

I've always found Bradford fans to be like that - strong contenders for the most deluded fans in the country.

Was not the pitch heavily re-seeded during the close season? New grass grows fast, especially if fertilized, well watered, with warm weather, sun etc. So longer than usual, denser, maybe layered, will tend to slow the ball down more than usual. But how much do we train on it, so as to be able to judge passing on it better than the visiting team? Should players be able to adapt during a game? If this is a problem for visiting teams we need to use it to our advantage, similar to Luton`s plastic pitch in the 70`s?

 

If the grass grows quicker because its a new pitch, surely isn't it just a matter of cutting it more often.

You would think so, but perhaps Speedie will explain his timescales one day?

Is it just me who thinks having the grass longer is a sly tactic. That makes all three managers that have mentioned the pitch now ass smith mentioned it in a tv interview. I think we know we ain't the slickest footballing side but the teams we are coming up against are so it slows there play slightly. Either way who cares I like that people are moaning about coming to vale park it's a good sign.

I dont think Walsall moaned about the pitch...its just sour grapes when a team loses that they try to make excuses for their own shortcomings

MY heart bleeds for the away managers - poor little loves.

[For Us All]

This pathetic article in the Bradford local paper doesn't really help relations between the two sets of fans.

I agree - but it is a surprise that we appear to have 'lost' well over 1000 fans from the last home league game (Brentford).

 

It does make a change to the atmosphere when the away fans make some noise, instead of seeing a few dozen hardy souls from Dagenham or Barnet on the Hamil End.

It helps our finances too!

 

I don't think it's a surprise at all that the home gate was down.

 

SoT is a an area of low wages. We have had 3 homes games in the first 4 matches and the next home game against Wolves is the one game that no one wants to miss. We were shocking in the previous game.

 

I fully expect a minimum of 7,500 plus Vale for the Wolves game and a total gate over 11,000.
