    The Bradford Arms is grim, I'd avoid it unless it's for a quick bottle of lager and a bit of atmosphere with fellow fans.

    You'll be fine in any pub from the town centre all the way up to the ground if you're sensible and you'll probably find the vast majority of City fans will quite happily chat football with away fans.

    North parade, as mentioned above is probably the closest, best area for a beer so I'd recommend any of the bars on there then a 10 minute stroll to the ground.

    By "bog standard" what he means is it tastes like it has come straight from the toilet by the way. Awful pub.

    Many thanks for the recommendations, depending on what time we arrive we will look at most of the above.

    City vaults in town (on Hustlergate) would be my recommendation. Not sure if you arriving by train but its walkable from Bradford Interchange and away fans are welcomed. I took a few wrexham pals in there. Its had a recent refurb and they do food if you get there early enough. Any of the bars on North Parade (as others have said) are also decent and on the walk up. Safe trip!

    If you are driving, park in the Broadway shopping centre car park.

    It is but it's pushing it a bit to say it's in the main city centre!

    I was going to mention there, but they've reduced the TVs and become more of an eatery, plus the bar fills up and there's no space to sit or stand on match-days

    Personally I would avoid the Bradford Arms at all costs. A place for those with zilch taste.

    I don't wanna jinx it but I've just got a feeling that Crawley will choke today. Poor form and shredded nerves might do for them. I've no idea about Barrow. Worry about Mansfield's motivation today but I just have a feeling about Crawley.

    Clough seemed to hint he is going full strength for this one. But yes, Crawley are my tip for it. I just can't see Grimsby getting anything. Wouldn't be surprised to see us go full "Bantams thing" and be 2-0 down inside 15 mins.

    We actually have the worst record in the EFL at conceding inside the first 15 this season, with 16 goals going against us early this season. We MUST start well today.

    It wouldn't surprise me if Clough and Sharpe haven't had a talk about today over the phone, but besides that Clough wont want to lose second place in the league apart from the money involved as his dad it would hurt his ego ;).
