    Not sure about that, have you been to Marseille?

    It has the being labelled the most dangerous City in Europe

    Typical city fans getting excited about a game irrelevant to us.
    I hope it’s an all ticket affair only accessible by the clubs involved.

    Marseille refused to play at the Stadium of (expletive) and demanded to grace the best pitch in the EFL.

    It's free entry. Apparently Marseille are playing 3 of the juniors and didn't want "LoyalOM" on their forum crying about it.

    Fair play to him for what, saying yes? It was Sunderland that contacted us about it, not the other way round.

    I watched “The Moon in the Gutter”, that showed some ropey parts (my crush Kinski hasn’t aged too well).Having said that, when I was home in March, my sister informed me that if you google “Europe’s most dangerous city” Bradford pops op. Sure enough,it did. As others have said, could be some cracking players on display, could be worth a look for the casual fan, throw in some loyalty…., anyway, good work by those who made it happen.

    Why any city fan would be remotely interested in this game is beyond me.
    It’s like Villa or Wednesday fans in the 80’s getting excited about the FA Cup semis played at their stadiums.
    I’ll be at Altrincham as that’s where MY team is playing.

    Don’t think the match is aimed at you

    Ditto, and I care even less about a football match that just happens to be played at VP but has zero relevance to BCFC.
    this thread should be in general football.

    Great should be used more commercially plaudits from me. I imagine the revenue generated will go some way towards the pitch renovations. So Rupp can kindly put that investment else where? Maybe a competent centre half?

    Maybe, I just don’t get the appeal or excitement of this random game with regards to why some city fans are considering attending it.
    The money to the club for staging it is welcome though and that really is the only positive.
