Match Thread Home v Carlisle Utd Sat May 7th @3.00pm

Police will push you towards the Bradford Arms on Manningham Lane, however for those who don't think they are extras in the Football Factory most bars on North Parade are welcoming.

I don't think they will give more than 800 tickets for behind the goal, it's likely they will open the top tier and keep the bottom tier closed so I would think that is your lot for this game.

 

The TL Dallas stand behind that goal holds 1500 over both tiers, it used to be 1800 but they took out a block of seats in the lower tier for some reason. Not sure you will get all that stand. Poor view as well in the lower section.
I am sure you will be fine in any of the pubs, we are usually a friendly bunch. If you do not mind a walk , North parade has a good amount of independent bars that sell a good range of beers , some have food. its about a 10 to 15 minute walk .
Hope you enjoy your day , if not the result. We are certainly playing better under Mark Hughes and can not wait to see what he can do with his own players.
We will have plenty released come june, if you want to add to Riley, Mellor, Devine, Gibson, Patrick. Have i forgotten anyone.

 

Also its the fire memorial day, very poignant for many city fans, especially those of us present that day.
Hopefully as always the day is given the due respect it is due.

 

Callum Guy was half decent here. Add him to the list.

You’d rather be in that East Stand if you can.

is the tea bar even open in the TL dallas these days? The view obstructing poles are a pain and there’s less legroom than in the East Stand.

 

Elliot is hit and miss, like many players at this level , won't be surprised if he moves on this summer. Omari and the others, nobody was sorry to see leave, Danny Devine was at school with my lad, so hoped he would make it here being a Bradford lad. We get very few coming through the ranks. Any that have a bit of talent , we sell off before they play in the first team.
Hopeful for this latest batch of under19's, who have romped their league.

 

Nothing against your fans or club in general.
However, I was rather hoping we could send Carlisle out of the league last game of the season, for no reason other than to laugh at several ex-city players that were giving it large at your gaff.
But, sadly not to be, always next season.

 

Big Rod to much info for the opposition. I will probably be sat in the Dolly like my mate Jack Reacher drinking coffee I will be able to see who enters either door .

Marching on alone

 

No food and drink at all in the TL Dallas

 

They should be grateful for small mercies

 

Ah, Jordan cupping his ear to the away end, after being allowed to drift infield.. Cannot blame the kid, he (and his old man) had taken some flack that afternoon. Mellor was the same getting stick.

Ah memories.. Just how poor was we that day!!

And the hostilities towards our players and Adams at the end of the game from the away end. Reckon I won't see something as volatile in many a day watching BCFC. Start of the end for Adams that day.

 

.

I actually had no beef with Mellor, Gibson or Patrick, I was surprised when I saw them dishing it out
So yep, why not, a bit of banter back, I'd like to cup my ears at them whilst laughing as they went down .. still, unfortunately not to be.

It was indeed the start of the end, I mentioned at the full time whistle how people being disgruntled, had now turned very toxic, and that this was the end for DA.

 

Ex players who score against us should come immediately to our supporters shouting sorry while getting on their knees and flagellating themselves with a city scarf

 

.I think it was meant as a joke , a bit of a tongue in cheek comment. Although i will admit it does wind me up when these nobody footballers, run along our kop cupping their ears or do a silly dance. You have scored , shake hands and back for the restart. You are a league 2 footballer after all.
I am probably just old school. Enjoy the game and your day out Bluebry.

 

Is that comment from experience, its been a long time since West Ham were last at Valley Parade.

 

I have to smile when I read this sort of comment not aimed at you or @Johnny Yen, but fans can't have it both ways when fans give stick to players you then have accept the flack when as the above mentioned scores against you then does this to the home crowd.

These two quotes say it all about the lad a bit of a maverick : Manager Steven Pressley said after the game that "I'm pleased for him because he’s a really good kid. He takes a bit of managing, but he's a good kid underneath that". McKirdy scored 11 goals from 38 games to finish as United's top-scorer for the 2019/20 season.However he was released in May 2020.
Manager Chris Beech said that "I respect the skill sets he has got... [but] Harry wasn't happy... [and] I don’t want to get a footballer in a headlock and make him do something he doesn’t want to do".
Looks like he's found a club that appreciate his style not a lot you can say when he's banged in 16 goals in 31 appearances.
