    They were gaff at our place but Brett Pitmans header late on, was superb. Just think, little moments like that contribute to promotion.

    I’ve got a real good feeling about next season, can’t wait for Mark Hughes closed season input on building his own team.

    From where I was sitting their lad just fell over all by himself. Never a penalty IMO.

    Was our esteemed owner present today. If so what more proof does he need, that with the correct financial backing 'this club could fly and bring him a return on his investment.

    Noticed near us it was rammed and our block (top tier sunwin) is usually sparse.

    a great away following also helped. Lost track of the number of Cumbrians i saw taking a photo of the ground.

    Today was the highest attendance for a fourth tier game at Valley Parade beating the previous vs Workington in the 60s.

    Question is how many of our esteemed posters attended both the Workington and Carlisle games?

    The highest fourth tier attendance is from 1960/1 season when over 37k attended the Crystal Palace v Millwall game.

    I was in the paddock in front of the main stand level with the edge of the penalty area at the Bradford End. The cockup for the decisive goal happened right in front of me. At the end someone near me urged Workington to win on the following Saturday as that would give us a final chance of going up and one of their players said 'Don't worry, we'll beat them too.' But they didn't.

    Ok folks a few thoughts, had a great weekend in York with the the West Cumbrian branch, had a few sherbets on the Friday and Saturday night, lovely Yorkshire hospitality.
    Just like to apologise for the mindless numpty that shouted something towards the end of the minutes silence, I hope that most of you realised that he was the only one, and the minutes silence along with the applause at the 56 minute mark was well respected by United fans.
    Thought it looked like two very average sides up until half time, although not sure what Angol's problem with us was? at least when Patrick and Gibson celebrated in front of your lot at Brunton Park, they at least were ex Bantam players. Nobody had ever heard of Mr Angol, so a bit surprising he cerebrated like he did in front of us, very strange!!!! Even the ref had to have a word with him which was about the only thing he got right all afternoon, infact I have never ever seen such a stone wall penalty turned down in my life by this Muppet. In fact he was giving so many decisions to you lot we thought you'd treat him to one of Bradford's finest curry's and slipped him a couple of hundred quid before the game. I suppose these things even themselves out over time, Mansfield scored a perfectly good goal against us a few weeks back (bounced over the line and back out again), and everybody saw it apart from the ref.
    Fair enough I thought Bradford were the better side second half and just about deserved it, but with three of our normal midfielders missing it was always going to be an uphill struggle.
    So honours even over the season, will be back for more next, where you will finish runners up to the mighty Blues.
    Toodle Pip.

    You need to find a new sport to watch because Angol celebrated as he normally does, we smashed you all first half and you were lucky it wasn't 3/4-0 and also the "penalty" was not even a foul outside of the box. You are bitter, we get it. Good luck next season with staying up

    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.

    Perhaps a good indicator is this website. I always refer to it when I go to away grounds https://footballgroundguide.com/leagues/england/league-two/valley-parade-bradford-city.html
    The Sparrow is tiny, although it does have a fairly claustrophobic cellar area, which is smaller than the upstairs bar area (handy for the Loo).
    If you want cask beer then you can use this link and set it to ‘real ale’ only. https://whatpub.com/search?q=BD8+7DY&t=pc&p=1&lat=53.8036&lng=-1.75948&_token=oDty8bWiMRtrL6wnwZHKAedcDtb5RKbnBLM80lgU&features=PubClub,Open,RealAle
    The Bradford Arms is a ‘keg only’ establishment.

    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.

    .

    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.

    Carlisle fans. If you are in the TL Dallas and can’t buy food or drink, Tesco Express on Manningham Lane is a stone’s throw from the ground to stock up with a few supplies.
