    I get where you're coming from Jon but Christ, haven't we plumbed enough depths in our time?

    We could win the Champions League for the next 20 years and we would still be entitled to say, "yes, but remember all the shit that the club used to put us through!" :p

    Yes me and the other half going, as always.
    I'll get over the loss with a few drinks whilst the other half rants how bad it was, for hours!

    And despite all the riches which winning the Champions League would bring into the club, I bet there still wouldn't be any bloody hot water and a working hand dryer in the MR loos! ;)

    I suspect the club owners over the years have taken the attitude that they do not own the stadium so will spend as little as possible on it, That of course is apart from any areas the owners may use, The disparage of facilities between the suites and the ordinary fan areas is huge, It seems to be an attitude of pay your money, Cheer the team and accept disgraceful facilities for the ordinary fan in the ground, It is almost as if the club does not think we are worth any more

    Checking in, will be there with older daughter and her husband. Although my younger daughter and boyfriend are not coming up from London (who can really blame them, the added cost is significant).

    Fear for the worst (a thrashing), hope for the best (okay a sneaky against the odds win).

    I'm going just to vent at the myriad of incompetence on show.

    I don't think anyone cares m8, i'm going but only for the fish and chips before the game. Might take a pillow with me and take advantage of the empty seats.

    I see your point, but for some, maybe those who have moved away from Bradford, got young kids, a busy job etc., maybe it’s different. Maybe the thought of a two hour drive, £25 of petrol, parking, a beer, a bite to eat each for a half arsed effort from the players ending in yet another abject defeat before a two hour drive home. Then you maybe think there are better things to do on a Saturday afternoon.

    We must have 30-35k per week of wages on that bench.

    I can see that. You can see that

    Our manager can't and we are stuck with him for the next two years

    Don't get me wrong. I think he's the man for league 2, but I'm baffled and expecting a massive drubbing from the Dons

    So we pick a player whose two previous clubs couldn't wait to get rid of, and whose performances with us have been dire, instead of a player we were so desperate to keep in January we vastly increased his wages.
    This season will long live in the memory.
