The Voice - Match preview Bradford City vs Carlisle United Tuesday 21 March 2023 @ 7:45pm

Not sure. He's done the usual thing of gathering together a bunch of players who have played for him before only this time they've gelled well.

One thing they do well though is have lots of shots. They almost always have more than the other team. Suppose it gives them more chance of scoring. Also, as mentioned at the start of the season. They brought in some big heavy experienced defenders. They've stopped goals and also scored them. Helps when the quality of the free kicks are decent as well mind.

 

Aren't any of our opponents from our many cancelled games available to play next Saturday? It's getting a bit ridiculous now. We have more fixtures in an average July!

 

They've all got matches:
Gillingham are away to Swindon
Carlisle are away at Rochdale
Walsall are in the FA Cup

Only league 2 teams not playing this weekend are Newport, us and Crewe

 

Oh for goodness sake, not another Saturday without football.

 

They should put on an open training session or something. Try to get a few fans down.

 

Only 2 Saturday games since November 19, both away in London

 

I could be wrong,but i thought Shipley bantams bought those lights as a means of helping the grass grow,not for thawing out the pitch,which they seem unable to do.

 

The main purpose of them is to grow the grass but they do give off some heat so they can help thaw the pitch to some extent

 

They are dual use. Halogen lights produce heat as well as aid photosynthesis . Expensive to run , but heat generating nevertheless . So a good use imho.

 

Kev is correct they are dual use. They were bought by Shipley bantams to aid grass to regenerate quicker but do generate some heat so will help a frozen pitch.

 

But they don't seem to work.Twice recently they have failed to thaw frozen areas of the pitch.

 

I actually had a good day yesterday loads of beer and nobody to pee me off from 3pm to 5

 

Now i'm no horticulturist but i'm sure most clubs use LED light rigs these days. Not sure what ours are though

 

The wont use LED,s for the job those lights are doing RT. Floodlights yes of course however as LEDs don’t generate any heat they will be Halogen. That’s why cars with LED headlights never defrost the headlight glass. Weird but true.

 

Yeah I did wonder mate. It does seem to be the same section of pitch that was causing concern before the Harrogate game, although that was for water retention.

 

maybe down to cost and I bet the majority of games that did good ahead in the championship would have had a fair few clubs that graced the PL at some point over the last decade or so .......

 

Ours will be candlelight we’re so far behind the times

 

Assuming the club lost a wedge of money due to the postponement how about buying one of these to put over the area that always seems to be the problem. Would pay for itself in no time?

Say 600 Carlisle fans return their adult ticket for the re arranged evening match that in itself would equal the cost for the tent.
