    Who even cares pal?! Jesus. As long as they support Bradford City we should welcome anyone with open arms, whether that be new fans or returning fans who have been fully justified if they decided enough was enough. The damage that Rupp, sparks and gent have done to this club will never be forgiven or forgotten, but if we can salvage something from this disastrous season against all odds on Saturday, then I’m all for it if they are aided by a raucous crowd

    Bradford win on Saturday and thrash Doncaster at Wembley 4-0 in front of 38,000 City fans, open top parade round Bradford.
    Closed season Rupp sells to a Kuwait billionaire and we all live happy ever after at the top of the premiership.
    Man City did it.

    The club should sell as many seats as possible, any way possible for this fixture. Entice some fans back, and hook new ones in

    Kids for a quid (up to 15 years old) and everyone else a fiver. Get the place rocking from the first minute

    I'd even be crazy enough to release all empty seats for free

    I just hope GA doesn't do a Hughes and try to play it cautious. Let's throw the kitchen sink at Newport.
    If Saturday is the end of our season then at least go out on a high with some barnstorming football.
    A few weeks ago we were a million miles from this scenario we find ourselves in, so we've got a free hit here. Sh!t or bust!

    100%! Always found the gatekeeping weird among our fan base.

    I have gone option 2 but it will be just like City to lose when results also go in our favour. We just need to play on the front foot from the very first minute as absolutely nothing to lose

    Still think it will be Crawley, but imagine if we do pull off the miracle. Alexander having to win at MK to get to Wembley is all the story you'd need.

    Its a total free hit. What I am expecting is that we turn up/great tactics (No Forest Green Malarkey) and smash what is front of us. The footballing Gods will sort the rest out.... like they did for Bristol Rovers etc etc

    It is 5/1 odds for Bradford to win, Mansfield to win and Grimsby to either draw or win. Not massive odds.

    An early goal is what is needed to cause doubt into the other's teams minds.

    A draw isn't good enough for Barrow, it might be to stay ahead of us but it isn't to stay ahead of Crawley, so on that basis trying a low block and playing for a draw is out of the question for them, which can only go to help us.

    I sit in the Lower Tier of the Main Stand, l have no problem with the phone signal (Contract is with 3). I use the BBC website to keep up to date with scores in general. Probably usually look a couple of times in the first half and more often in the second. It depends how things go in other games. It could all be over quite early if Crawley go 2-0 up against Grimsby.

    I think we will win Saturday, other results not so favourable, but an eighth plas finish with an if only.

    as long as we win our last game that’s all that matters, give us some belief we we will better next season with a few quality signings.

    Our best approach imo is to go out early doors all guns blazing and try get that very early goal which would temporarily put us in the last playoff place, this in return will add extra pressure on Crawley and Barrow and pressure can result in strange outcomes. On paper i'd definitely say it looks a long shot on our part but hey in all seriousness about 5 weeks or so ago we'd of took for a shot at goal never mind a shot at the playoffs!!

    This last match scenario reminds me of the occasion many years ago when in the Bradford End. Someone on the Kop heard a score from another match and the news spread through the old stand to us. We celebrated but the message was false so we trudged away from Valley Parade deflated.

    The old uns among us will also never forget that midweek Workington match during the 60's.

    All that can be certain is that we'll be down from Edinburgh on Saturday in the Kop and hoping Grimsby can beat the Creepies.
