The Voice - Match preview Sutton United vs Bradford City Saturday 12th November @ 3:00pm

not quite accurate.
When did you see Bradford City play at the Etihad, Emirates, London Stadium, St Mary’s, Amex and whatever Brentford’s new stadium is called,
What you probably meant is you’ve seen Bradford City play away at all 92 PL and EFL clubs but you haven’t seen them play at every ground.

 

People have a right to a opinion, we have been poor at home the last few games. Stockport and not won way all season rolled up to valley parade and we made look like world beaters. Not every one as the time or money to travel all over the country, doesn't make them a lesser fan or have no right to a opinion.

 

Mansfield was an excellent performance. In reality we were playing them off the pitch until the unwarranted sending off. It was a very enjoyable 103/4 minutes .

 

So you think it’s acceptable to boo a team in the top six or are you sitting on the fence without committing either way?

 

Absolutely right but there’s just too many home ‘fans’ who only attend games because it’s cheap who don’t need much of an excuse to criticise and boo. It’s a completely different atmosphere at away games.
When the away crowds turn on the team you know it’s bad, like at Carlisle and Harrogate last season under Adams and many games under Bowyer.

 

Without those 'homers', as a club we'd be up shit street without a paddle. Not all of them whinge or boo, just a minority with little in brain cells.

 

To be fair if you follow the club allover the country you are a bigger fan. I go to a few away but there are some fans who are far more loyal than i am. Doesn't make me a bad person or owt but i know of one fan coming home from a stag do early where he is best man because he doesn't want to miss a game. That's loyalty

 

You’re right of course our home fans are massively important and I’m not suggesting they aren’t. It’s just the weird mentality of some who are happy to moan about something they are getting for next to free.

 

4 or 5 seasons of home form, like we have will do that to the atmosphere, we have won 5 out of 14 home games this season.
3 league and 2 cup, too many draws have cost us year on year.

 

It's a fair point. I get when fans are unhappy, you could justify some of the negative stuff last year under Adams. And a lot of our fan base likes to troll other clubs about our apparent large crowds yet will be the first to sit on their backsides and contribute nothing to the games atmosphere.

 

That still doesn't justify the vast majority of the 17,000 turning up at 5 minutes to 3 o'clock, whinge that the turnstiles are too slow then contribute nothing to an atmosphere other than to sit on their hands for 90 minutes. I'd say to fans get their early and make your voices known.

 

And furthermore, I doubt in most cases that 17000 are even present. There were certainly nowhere near 16700 there against Swindon. More like 10000 tops. Where were they all?

 

I totally agree . I am usually in the ground by 2.30 and usually amazed how few are in their seats 5 mins before kick off.
Maybe the club need to look at the pre-match entertainment to get the fans in the seats earlier. The fan zone behind the kop , is a damp squib

 

The Fanzone is the worst. Even on a bright sunny summer day it’s freezing in that area because it’s all in the shade behind the Kop.

 

It’s treading a very fine line. In the goal is off the field.

Unless you immediately return i.e. run in trying to score and come back out straight away, then really the ref should be penalising the player when they go off, stay off then come back on and do that. Technically it’s a yellow card.

All that said, keeper really has to be more aware. If he looks behind him, there’s no issue.

 

That would certainly be some game, give Orient the minimum tickets we have to give them (like the Ipswich game in the 1987/88 nearly season) and fill the rest of the stadium with City fans.

 

You really do brighten my day up with posts like this .

 

Huddersfield fans will come close to seeing every team and every ground in 2 years when they reach their final destination of League 2.
Only Brentford they’ll miss out on
