Match Thread EFL Cup 2nd Round - Bradford City vs Blackburn Rovers Tuesday 23 August @ 7:45pm

Blackburn paid £750k for him.

 

City should get him om loan to replace Walker.

 

Sounds reasonable, they can catch us again at the last 8 stage

 

Too early , perhaps . It doesn’t leave many options for a loan later on which may become more important?

 

According to MH Walker had surgery yesterday and will be back quickly

 

Look a good side Blackburn and got a great manager in Jon Dahl Tomasson for that level. Was managing in the champions league last season

Could be a drubbing if they go quite strong

 

i hope he does what he did at hartlepool and make the changes, i do not know the fella, but i assume he is more concerned with getting into the PL! they have a game on the sat before and sat after. they will want to keep up their good form at the minute.

 

Not conceded a goal yet. Only 3 games mind but if they keep Brereton they looked a good outside bet for promotion before a ball was kicked
Can still get them at 5/1

 

bit off tangent but did you hear about those bets people did for Brereton to score 20+ goals last season? bookies priced it at 1000/1 or something stupid!
Definitely think they will be in the promotion picture come end of the season.

 

When Blackburn played in the last round against Hartlepool they had tickets at £10 adults £5 the rest. I'm surprised details of this game (with it being next Tuesday) haven't been released yet and would expect it to be between £10 and £15 for adults so i wonder why we appear to be dragging out heels.

With it being in the school holidays, on the back of back to back home wins and not on the TV this time I would expect demand for this to be far greater than the Hull game and tickets to already be on sale. I wonder if it is the old Bill who are holding this up due to an expected large away following

Can't see it being that big a crowd and I don't think Sky took many fans away from the Hull game. We've always had low cup attendances which go back years other than Premier League clubs the only times we've had big numbers from memory were Leeds and Millwall which were high for obvious reasons. Blackburn only had 6,800 in their first round so I can't see them bringing anymore than Hull. If we get 6000-7000 we've done well.

 

Blackburn tickets are again "unreserved seating" so you buy your tickets and take your chance!

 

They haven't actually released any details on tickets as yet. Price or stands. I would guess they won't be more expensive than Hull tickets and will probably be lower tier only with access to the bars at a small upgrade.

 

Wasn't exactly stupid given his previous scoring record.

 

Any news of a live stream for this game?

 

It says no ifollow stream with be available.

 

Just had a quick look on BCFC ticketing site. £15 for adults vs Blackburn, though no concessions for other groups.

 

Yeah it seems they have jumped the gun. No other prices are on there and only the bottom tiers are available.

BCAFC & the sale of tickets, it always usually takes a while to be put right.

 

reason why it was stupid was because previously he was coming off the bench. He had a good xG off the bench and played very well internationally! Once Amstrong left to go to Southampton it gave him the first team slot. this on top of a team that regularly scores well in seasons

Lastly fact bookies were going around calling people telling them to offer 500/1 early pay-outs in October tells me its a stupid bet. Wouldn't be surprised if the odds compiler got the sack for that one. Nothing like that this season in bets.
