The Voice - Match preview Harrogate Town vs Bradford City Saturday 1 October @ 1:00pm

The HTFC blurb sounds a bit vague to me, and probably intended to be so. I doubt City have shared anything with them apart from what they are obliged to do so by the EFL in regards to the details of those who they have sold tickets to for the visitors end for this match only. This will be justified on a range of health and safety grounds.

The dodgy bit is that it is debatable that using this information (or storing similar past shared information) to prohibit purchases of tickets in their home end -ad infinitum - falls within this safety remit, or indeed has been shared with them in knowledge of it being used for this use.

We will never know of course. Unless somebody has the time and cash to legally challenge Harrogate FC or NY police, and by the way it won't be me!

 

Freedom of Information request !

 

Chesterfield, Rochdale, Halifax, Darlington, Stockport, Bury, Mansfield….Loads over the years

 

Is it illegal to prevent anyone entering an alternative portion of the ground ?

 

Just purchase under a false name, say my wife …Same address etc etc.It’s not rocket science to get in and being capable of behaving?

 

That only applies to public bodies, not private businesses.

 

It would be a complaint to the data protection commissioner by somebody who believed their data was being used incorrectly.

 

So lets get this one discussed.
A bogey team for City over the last few years since they came up into the league.
Really lacklustre performances the last 2 seasons both home and away have put doubts into supporters minds that we can compete in this match on Saturday never mind get anything from it.
Surely this isn't going to be the case come 2.45pm on Saturday.
Drawing against Wimbledon, even with a late equaliser which felt a bit like a winner, doesn't disguise Hughes and the teams disappointment that we couldn't beat an out of form side.
For me the return of Crichlow and Halliday is important.
Both imo should return to give us better balance.
Odusina is a good player but after watching them both I feel Crichlow is better for the team in general.
Hendrie gives his all but as seen on Saturday isn't as quick as Halliday when moving us up the pitch.
The 2 holding midfielders are a given.
Cook will start despite Oliver's heroics on Saturday.
Will Wright come straight in???
I'm not sure.
He has played midweek and will be drained mentally after his penalty miss.
Harrogate on a really poor run.
Hughes must surely be drilling into the squad that energy levels and composure are key as we have the superior quality, but our attitude needs to be spot on.
I'm going for an early goal from the Bantams then the introduction of key subs seeing us to a 3-0 win.

 

I will take a scrappy 1-0 win , with the ball hitting anyone's backside and wrong footing their keeper.
Keep us in touch and ready for a bumper home game against Stockport.

 

Mark Hughes recently talked about our dire form against Harrogate and his response was a good one.

When asked about Harrogate being a bogey side and having won the last 4, his response was those games had nothing to do with him and those results have no bearing on Saturday.

 

3.0 away win then a good piss up after in North Yorkshire's finest followed by a cucumber sandwich

 

Banks out on Saturday.
Hughes says maybe 2 weeks so looks like he will miss the Stockport match too.
Shame as I like him.
Maybe Wright does come straight back in.

 

SARS then

 

Looking forward to this one. Me and @Loyalbantam are off in the home end so hopefully there'll be another 100 or so City so we can get some songs going.

3 0 City. Up by November.

 

How the Hell have Harrogate not conceded more, looking at those highlights they got royally shat on in both games!

 

Absolutely!

Kinda wish I was going now...

 

Harrogate have now checked BCFC records and if you have bought tickets from City your Harrogate home section tickets are been cancelled today

 

I cant help thinking Harrogate have been a bit paranoid over this match,who do they think we are,Leeds.If they cant cope with less than a thousand visitors,who have caused them no previous problems,then maybe they would be better off back in the safety of the National league.
