    If you've not had an email about your ticket yet you should do soon, the article they put up yesterday only mentions the Kop and Main Stand lower open for home fans

    After today we might as well open up the TL Dallas Stand only for home fans as I think we might struggle to get 2,500 including 500 away fans.

    The way around that is to boycott the final.

    What better way to show those idiots than getting to the final and selling hardly any tickets !

    I’m not sure it does.

    What we are watching week in week out is what matters to 99.9% of the fans.
    They’ve been conned too many times with the guff coming out of Sparks’ mouth.
    Fans are really starting to realise that the club stinks and the main smell is originating in the CEO’s office.

    All it does it gives the fans a little bit of feel good.
    It will be quickly forgotten when people remember Morecambe and Swindon away and whatever happens between now and the time comes for Sparks to dip in to his never ending book of sound bites and tired slogans.

    Financially it would but on the pitch and with the fans i don't think it would. It would only be a temporary reprieve at best. Even after the final there would still be 3 weeks of the season left and winning the trophy would soon be forgotten by the time the final whistle goes on the last day against Walsall if we are sat anywhere in the table like we are now.

    Ironically when we played Derby County in this competition the other week that was the best performance other than Wrexham away in the cup I've seen from this group of players.
    Both games had everything I want to see from my club pride, passion and commitment to reach the next round shame its seldom repeated in our league campaign.

    Wonder if they'll open more blocks in the TL Dallas stand? I've never sat in there before and wouldn't mind giving it a go, but no seats available, I'm desperate to get my tickets bought for my group of 12 that's going.

    Up the Bantams!!!

    Need to win just to keep some part of the season alive. Even if it is this dire competition.

    Lose tomorrow and we might as well all log off until August.

    I am currently getting splinters in my backside from sitting on the fence.
    As die hard as i am , i stopped attending this sort of game when they allowed the premiership babies to enter.
    Was thinking of giving it a go, i know , glory hunting , but after the last few weeks , even my lad who i relied on to make my mind up, can not decide himself.
    Maybe we need to toss a coin, but knowing how all things city are headed the coin will land on its edge or fall down a drain or something similar.

    I'll watch it, but I won't pretend it isn't a Mickey Mouse trophy and a glorified friendly. Although I can understand some of our fans getting carried away because we have had only had bad times for many years now

    What a prospect,two of the worst performing sides in the division,what could possibly prevent this from becoming a goal fest.City will have to make a few changes.Smallwood is suspended,S.Walker,is cup tied,as probably is Young,.Be very interesting to see the line up.
