The Voice - Match preview #29: Bradford City vs Harrogate Town Saturday 8th February 2025 12:30pm

Is that what it costs for a club as opposed to what Sky hire at… If so it’s a bargain !

 

It's what Cambridge United paid in January - might be even cheaper up North!

But would the cost be huge in the long run.Guaranteed playable surface,all season,in the long term it must be a sound investment.

 

And hire it out when we’re not using it, and a blank canvas for lucrative logos. Go on Ryan, you know it makes sense.

 

Oh I agree ….100%.

 

Cost to buy outright ? But yes worth it for sure , in the scheme of things £1,000 a day , labour costs included .

 

Sponsorship deals with advertising on the canvas/material would offset a lot of the costs. All they would have to do is guarantee to post a picture on socials every time it was used.
A lot of the labour costs would already be there using the current covers so no great extra cost there. The only real additional cost after purchase would be for the LPG gas.

 

Bringing it back to the match, i couldn't believe Harrogate have only 1 defeat at VP in 5 trips. Does anyone think Tuesdays performances will make GA alter much? I think Wright starts at LWB, Crichlow in for Kelly. Pointon and Sarce heading up the box behind Kav. I hope Walker gets a shot on the bench.

 

I think he may rest Kav on to the bench and give Leigh the start , yes Walker on the bench however Pattison Sarcevic will play together , Wright at LWB and yes Crichlow for Kelly going forward.
Bobby , I wonder if he’ll rest him , again to the bench, he just looked jaded?

 

I think Leigh might get the start against Accy on tues.

 

Walker
Baldwin. Huntington. Crichlow

Halliday Smallwood. Pattison. Wright

Sarcevic. Leigh. Pointon

Would be my guess, with Hilton, Byrne, Johnson, Tayo, Walker, Mellon, Lapslie on the bench. Give Kav a complete rest like he did with Bobby and bring him back in for Tuesday.

 

Is Shep out of this one?

 

Yes could do, depends how Kav has recovered ? It would be smart I agree , playing him against Accrington .

 

Not heard anything.

 

Why does that make me think of John Noakes?

 

I don't know, I'm just guessing based on him limping off on Tuesday and Huntington being on media duties for this game.

 

Wonder how many will see the link ?

 

I’m sure we will “get down” to finding the answer

 

Do you want putting out of your misery Steve ?

 

Looks like Shep could be a doubt ?
