Harrogate Match Re-scheduled Twice [now Monday 12 Oct '20]

In normal times I would fully have expected the game AWAY at Harrogate to be moved to 12 noon Sunday. I could see why North Yorkshire’s finest would not want bunches of Bradfordian piss heads / City “youth” parading around Harrogate town centre looking for trouble whilst Giles and Edmund are walking home from Polo training and Rupert is heading towards his piano lessons. Add to that you are more likely to come across masses of middle-aged to old aged wives spending (wasting) their rich husbands hard earned cash in some fancy vastly over priced clothes shop / nail painters / body massage places whilst looking down on these scruffy peasants from Bradford means it’ll be a volatile mix.

But the home game? Seriously??

 

Makes zero sense

 

Maybe it’s been moved to show on Sky? Oh wait a minute, we’re League two.

 

It's been moved to 1pm Sunday because police intel have suggested that Rupert and his firm in their tweed stone island wear, where planning to turn up even without tickets, after getting smashed on Pimms following the Regatta earlier in the day.

By moving it to Sunday the firm can't fit in their 11am Tea and Scones which is a ritual before tearing an away day town to bits.

This also saves the Bradford Wine bars from having to hire extra door staff.

 

Further intel suggest sometimes they swop strawberry jam for blueberry. How loutish.

 

Championship games that are picked for Sky are still on iFollow so not sure why it would be any different.

 

Jam, surely you mean preserves

 

There is an article in T&A today implying that the game has been moved due to concerns regarding a possible planned protest in the city centre on the Saturday. Very vague about who or what but the usual Far Right is mentioned

https://www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/news/18696192.concern-protest-plans-bradford-amid-ongoing-covid-19-pandemic/

 

A lot of the time these protests come to nothing. In most cases they've no real intention to hold a protest. It's just a good way to drum up PR.
Some far right group says it's going to hold a rally somewhere; the local authorities get in a flap, the press make a song and dance. Job done.

 

So the game is being moved because knuckle draggers are planning on coming to Bradford. Which of course brings down the counter demo, then some councillors decide to have a peace and unity event meaning you end up with 3 events on one day that 99% of people in Bradford couldn't give a shit about.

We've seen it all before.

 

Far Right set to march on Bradford ! 1000s of brown shirt Nazis planning to march in down Manchester Road carrying torches and Nazi flags. Gathering in City Square for a full rally ! Or then again it could amount to a mini bus of "day trippers". Either way you can guarantee they will be met with the "Real Police Force" tooled up and ready to "break some heads". This isnt a Far Left, BLM, Ext Reb or Islamist rally oh no; this needs proper policing this does !

As for the fixture itself ? Id expect it to be moved its our biggest fixture of the season ! Against our bitter local rivals from "Bettys Tea Room". Rivalry doesnt come any bigger
"El Cafeco" !

 

now a sky game

 

Does that mean no IFollow pass for the game?

 

Says in the article that its still free on ifollow

 

Could be very embarrassing

 

The club has been informed that 2020/21 ‘City For All’ season-ticket holders will still be able to watch the action live - FREE of charge - though individual iFollow video match passes will not be available to purchase.

 

Not sure many will choose ifollow if they have sky.

 

I don’t have Sky, but iFollow should be free with my season ticket!
