    Sorry to hear of your loss Shell. A lot of us have our dads to thank, or curse, for getting us into City

    I have been going with my dad now for over 50 years, and although the bug has been handed down to my daughter, I cannot imagine the day going to Valley Parade without my dad.

    I remember the first game after I lost my mum, the empty seat next to me a poignant reminder and it wasnt easy.

    I hope City give you a perfect send off performance for your dad.

    All the best

    Enjoy it mate.

    Honestly I would give up anything to see my dad again. I can't express enough that if you're are from a loving family that you've to enjoy your parents.

    One of the reasons I am so passionate about Bradford City building an infrastructure because it means a lot to so many people and the club needs to protect itself.

    Anyway, it's great day for football. Let's get that win! Move up the table and let's get them Swindon fans that come on here to laugh at us over Doyle. worried.

    No excuses today! 3 points is a must!

    Perhaps phone them? Ticket Office: 01274 770012

    I think you will need a ticket.

    See if you can pay on the phone and if there is a window where you can get prepaid tickets.

    If I need an extra ticket I go early say about 1.30 and then go to the pub for a beer.

    Let us know how you get on.

    Good luck

    Thanks so much everyone for your nice words. It's strange as although his death wasn't unexpected I'd not considered how I'd feel about going to games. I guess because we hadn't gone to that many matches together in recent years. But i appreciate now it was such a fundamental part of our relationship going to game will bring out a lot of emotions.

    My dad was a bit of an anomaly in that he supported city and Leeds (I know weird, but I'm confident it was always in that order!). Some people couldn't understand that but growing up slap bang between both cities (Yeadon) he had attachments to both.

    But when my sister and I started to like football in our teens it was always gonna be city he introduced us to. Dad had a very full life and was involved and loads of things, amateur dramatics, bradford league cricket, Crown green bowling etc etc. But he always kept city in his heart and right at the end was still getting me to bring him over a telegraph and wanted to talk about it.

    I have happy memories of 3 trips to Wembley (1 less enjoyable than the other!). We were 2-0 up against Notts County and city fans started a Mexican wave. My dad goes - I don't like it , it's too soon the team will see and think it's won! He cared so much and couldn't relax until they final whistle went.

    Some happy happy memories which I know many of you will share with your respective families. Football isn't more important than life and death but it does bind families together and that bond is so strong.

    Come on city today. Do it for my wonderful dad and for all the other mums, dad's and loved ones who at no longer with us.

    Sorry that went on a bit, whilst I don't know any of you personally I know this will resonate with many.

    I've highjacked this thread a bit there and people may feel awkward going back to more everyday chat!

    So I'll get it back on course, I really hope we revert to 4 4 2. Also I flipping love Michael flynn and will be giving him a clap. He was a memorable player in a very unmemorable era!

    My point being at half time most fans around us were majorly p!ssed off with GB and his poor decision making, and some even called for him to go. Fully in their rights too having made a 660 mile round trip at this time of the year to watch such drivel

    He needs a performance and a win after setting us up like that.

    Smacks entirely of picking a side based on worrying about the opposition.

    I've never seen us play well with 3 at the back.

    Don't put much faith in this formation. I couldn't find one that seemed obvious so just plugged it into the default 4-4-2 Lineup_master-Recovered.png

    Your old man has passed away, far more important than football. Keep smiling.

    352. Henley and Wood wing backs. Mellor centre back. Cooke, Reeves, Taylor midfield. Surely?
