    Yep, but the smaller teams you mention are all towns. A city the size of Bradford should be higher than the lowest league of English professional football. How do smaller towns like Barnsley, Rotherham, Preston and Blackburn consistently compete at higher levels than Bradford City? This club only ever takes two steps forward before it's three steps back again.

    If you look back at the history's of the likes of Preston and Blackburn they we league one teams (what is now the Premiership) for many years, even though in comparison for their size not as big a population as Bradford, Burnley being another top team far more history than Bradford City.
    When I was a lad my mates and lads from school were either Bradford City or Bradford Park Avenue fans, once Revie took over at Leeds in the early 60s and made them a great side many jumped ship and started going to Elland Road, not for me but I don't condemn those that did.

    Difficult to say. History l guess, the lack of success from before the start of WW1 meant that there was no history the equivalent of Preston or Blackburn. Until the early 70’s there were two professional clubs in Bradford. Additionally Rugby League has a significant following in Bradford. By the time there was only one football team in the City, the M62 corridor provided relatively easy access to Greater Manchester and Merseyside. Our near neighbours had established themselves and a significant number in the Aire Valley stayed on the then direct train instead of changing at Shipley! Indeed many got on the train at Shipley, rather than the bus to Bradford!

    When I play 5 a side and getting beat heavily I start to kick people, I get angry because I hate losing even though not getting paid a penny.
    These winkers are just robbing a wage, I despise them all.

    How many times have we seen that @Storck@Storck, chance after chance going begging, I made the point just before half time"
    We're missing some chances here, hope they don't come back to bite us in the arse"

    Unfortunately listening to the radio O'Donnell was at fault for the first goal, we realise that we should be 3/4 goals up at half time our heads go down and their tails pick up, I'm sure its not unique to Bradford City....................it just feels that way at the moment:(.

    Congratulations ENID you have managed to achieve something I never thought possible, namely to make me despise someone more than Richmond for what he has done to BCFC.

    But a pint of Salford's finest in the Magnet in Stockport and a couple of Titterton's wonderful pork pies soften the blow a bit

    It will be embarrassing when we collapse at Aldershot in a couple of weeks time.
    Toxicity will be off the radar with the fans
