    We deserve to be playing whichever other clubs are in the same division as ourselves. They got there on their own merits .. and so did we! The fact we are playing Harrogate very soon is a sad reflection on our own recent history and that isn't meant to take anything away from Harrogate's own success.

    This is the one game I really don't want to lose .
    Being harrogate born and bread but brought up a city fan from birth I never thought I'd see the day when we played in a league match .
    I know this is one of the fixtures town fans have being looking forward to the most and as I coach a local junior football team where there's a fair few town fans who are mates I couldn't take a loss .

    Come on city!!!
    Please win this one

    If that's the reason then surely every game will be a Sunday then?

    I guess it is sadder if you look at some of the other clubs we have played over the years.

    Supporters of: Notts County, Stockport County, Darlington, Hartlepools, Chesterfield, Wrexham, and a fair few others, have fallen down the ladder.

    Add to that local ‘derby’ games like York City and Halifax Town.

    Gone right through the trap door Bury and Macclesfield.

    Hopefully we will not copy any of them (or in the distant past the Stans).

    You look at a club like Luton, went down a long way but have come back up to the Championship.

    Teams like Harrogate, could well go the way of Scarborough, Yeovil, Rushden and Diamonds. Clubs which were new to the league, but for one reason or another could not sustain membership.

    Personally I think Harrogate should be applauded, perhaps they can become the new MK Dons or Wycombe Wanderers, time will tell.

    Huge local derby against fierce rivals, correct decision made all round.

    Maybe the Police are worried about a clash between the two firms, the Clarets v the Ambers.

    Disagree.

    Thats like all championshio clubs saying look how far we have fallen when they are playing Wycombe.

    Give Harrogate the credit they deserve.

    I have no interest whatsoever in Harrogate. What I find hard to stomach is a club with over 100 years of football league history is now on an even footing with a club playing its first season. Harrogate have done what a few clubs have done over the last decade or so have done in stepping up from a history in non league to the professional ranks. But we as a club should not be below the likes of Fleetwood, Burton, or on an even footing with the likes of Salford or Harrogate. Christ this club needs an intravenous drip full of ambition.

    I think we should give more credit to Harrogate. Yes it’s disappointing that we are now back in Div 2 but let’s not overlook the great strides Harrogate have made in the last few years. A well run club , a manager they have stuck with and a successful playing style - what’s not to admire.

    It also shows you how far they've risen.
    I can remember watching them play from a fence round the pitch when they had a porta cabin as changing rooms .
    No seats or stands .
    We used to play our junior league and school cup finals at their ground, it was a right bog our school pitches and changing rooms were better

    They do have a decent side and play some good stuff .
    Just hope we beat them .
    I went to the pub at hgate town ground to watch them in the playoff final as alot of my mates are town fans after the game we were on the pitch and they were all in a circle with me in the middle singing bradford city we're coming for you .

    Thought I best just mention on here but the club have sent round an email on Sunday / Monday to season ticket holders explaining that if your email address with the club doesn't match the email address you use for ifollow then you need to email them and let them know what your ifollow email address is by today or you won't be able to access it.

    The problem is though in the correspondence it asks you to "reply to this email" to update your details.

    Unfortunately if you do this, the email will send but you'll get a bounce back 48hrs later saying it hasn't been sent. The email they've used to senx out the correspondence apparently doesn't exist OR doesn't accept replies. So what you actually need to do is not follow the guidance they've given in the correspondence and instead send compose a new email to ifollow@bradfordcityfc.co.uk

    I imagine there will be a number of people who have followed the instructions they've given, thinking they've updated the club and they won't get a bounce back till tomorrow.

    Its been raised with the club via twitter and suggested that they send round an update... As not every season ticket holder is going to be on twitter.

    Indeed it is, but if we also tot up the matches played in the various tiers we can have the consolation of bragging that we are, at least, a 3rd tier side, not 4th... (468/1224/1854 (3+3N)/1096) :)

    (It's a dull rainy morning over here, perfect for pondering City's league performances over one's lifetime.)

    FWIW, the Premiership has made me lose all interest in it, but I do think we should aim to be again an established 2nd-tier side.
