    On Wednesday, April 22 1964 a crowd of 17,974 were in Valley Parade to see the vital Fourth Division promotion battle between Bradford City and Workington.

    Agree Songo had Patrick in his pocket but disagree about Gibson who I thought had a good 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.

    Not exactly related to the actual match but if this belongs to a supporter who was at the match they might like to park somewhere else next season. B666AA31-8EC9-42A8-999E-9287DE2E9F18.jpeg D47716FA-A2B3-4CEC-9E94-7F7E5DFB06F8.jpeg 2557983C-1448-4990-847C-2DA14295DC2D.jpeg

    Certainly some highlights …It was the wait for annual re-election where the troublesome times lay!

    In the days of no social media it was agonising!

    Would I swap em…..? Would we ever dream we would play Liverpool, Spurs, Man U, Chelsea et al in a LEAGUE game……..never in a million years!

    He was okay, his body language was very disappointing once we went ahead, you can see he is mentally weak. I bet he was dreaming of another goal against us and celebrating in front of the Kop, but once it became apparent we were far superior, he wilted.

    He's not a good professional, and he wouldn't come close to getting in our first XI today.

    The player that impressed me most (I think) was Dickenson? Tall midfielder who mucked out at the back several times, looked strong, generally decent passer, and helped out a ton.

    Looked a good player.

    We was talking about Dickensen, who impressed within a limited Carlisle team but his final ball, was an area he needs to improve on this game.

    Personaly thought he was their best player he has a different role than he had here as a playmaker. Thought he played some nice through passes

    We were in the Bradford End and believe if all the lads in there had all blown at the ball it would have kept it out of the net it rolled so slowly over the line ;).
    Workington had Exeter at home for their last game of the season Exeter were also going well and actually got promoted, where as we we're away to York who finished 3rd bottom and got relegated but still beat us on the day 1 - 0, well it is Bradford City nothing changes.

    Angol was giving it large to their number 12 Mellish all the first half and when they were walking off I believe it was those two again, loved how Sparkie brushed Skelton to one side then they all pilled in but Sparkie looks the least threatened of them all with a grin on his face, he's been there seen it done it, Paudie evens fancies some with the lad Mellish.
    Great video clip :joy::joy:.

    Is that a joke? The club are promoting the fact that our manager behaved like that, causing a ruckus?

    We are officially promoting that?

    There are some you want on your side in a battle , however “a marketing ploy”?

    I’m open minded tbh.

    You'd think a random fan would have posted that from his phone.

    Not sure I'm keen on the club tweeting like a random fan, wahey, go on Hughesy lad, etc

    It's a football match, the aggro might be natural, but it's not what it's all about.
