Match Thread Bradford City V Grimsby Town: Saturday 1st April @ 1.00pm

Its a stupid price for whatever league they are in outside the football league and using the stadium running cost's as the reason why they need to charge so much is even dafter. Claiming they would have to reduce the playing budget to cover the extra costs is almost blackmailing the fans to pay up.

oh yes, seen so little of him like Nevers, i forgot he was here. so i will reserve judgement for now.

 

You could look at it that way. I prefer to think they are not the same club who were liquidated and are a new club , who are fortunate to have such a large fan base for their current level , that they have a massive advantage over any of their competitors. I also do not give a hoot what they charge the fans, just think the rise of over 50% in price is scandolous.

 

That average seems a hell of a lot higher than the previous incarnation. Still, let them charge what they want. Then leave it to the fans to decide whether or not it is reasonable.

 

And I’m one of Chapmans biggest critics, but the defender had hold of his collar and pulled him back as well. Realistically should’ve been a pen and red card

 

Said the same at the time, but I'd take Gilliead's goal and 11 a side.

 

I think had then gone down to ten men, then the game wouldn’t have been as open and that’s when we seem vulnerable - so agreed, it might well have worked out for the better for us

 

Always enjoy little moments like when the referee waves away Richie Smallwood's claims of shirt-pulling, only for Richie to then walk away from the alleged non-incident with half a shirt...

Great call, ref, ya buffoon.

 

Scunthorpe are looking as they might go double bump. I was astonished to learn that Scunthorpe were paying some of their players more than they did in League 2.

 

Keep your eyes open for Smallwood kicking over their drinks.

 

Having just run the goal through from behind the goal from the Midland Road side of the Kop in slow motion the ball does not cross the line, it comes off the post and not all the ball crosses the goal line, but in all honesty I cant see how the referee could make that call from where he was positioned without consulting his linesman on the Midland Road side.

 

I said it hadn’t from the original photo. That confirms it Dave, for sure.

 

I think there is another picture of that with the goalie on the ground and what looks like all of the ball over the line, that said, the referee gave a foul so even if had been nestled in the back of the net it wouldn't have counted. The re-start was from a free kick.
