    Fair enough. The 'sing' was in quotation marks as well though, which is why I think both were possibly puns.

    Agree. That was mental. Could you do the finger thingy?

    It's refreshing to see how visible Ryan Sparks is at the club and how much he communicates with the fans. It makes a change from Rhodes who was seen less frequently than Father Christmas.

    Boo, spoilsport. :sob:

    I’m following the crowd with Songo’o , that must be nailed on; therefore, completely having a guess at “hello”. Maybe Lionel and / or Adele is playing a gig at VP!

    Your correct and Ryan has alluded to most of that, the point I'm still not getting is they guys you've mentioned above can do their jobs be it our own training facilities or Rawdon Meadows, I honestly don't get the derogatory comments with regards the training facilities we have the use of the Gym, Swimming pool, treatment room, eating facilities, all weather 5G pitch, the pitch at the front near Harrogate Road is superb.
    You've lost me with the Featherstone comment, but with regards the rugby they will win the Betfred Championship this season after steadily growing the club over the last 4/5 years or so.

    I didn't think I was derogatory about the facilities?

    I'm arguing they're not the envy of many League One and Two clubs.

    Which they're not, and they're not held in particularly high regard within the game at this level either.

    Who’s the familiar face he’s referring to? In which capacity - player or staff?

    Not convinced you have ever got off the field development though. If you want a pub team then you certainly are following one in Bradford City.

    Turn up on a Saturday and then go home.

    The SCHOOL is a disgrace. Bradford City in 2021 should be owning their own training ground considering they don't own the stadium.

    The lack of off the field development at Bradford City is a joke.

    Not saying you in particular but that is the argument many use on here and I don't believe it to be true for the reasons I've given, I can assure you they are far better facilities than they used to be, I don't believe Bradford City have ever owned their own training facilities they used to pile into their cars and return to Valley Parade to shower etc, Simon Grayson used it as an excuse to not take the job and all of a sudden its an issue, which of course it isn't.
    Not heard many comment with regards our facilities Shay McCartan we got from Accrington was certainly impressed as they had to use the local council facilities, well agree to disagree.

    "Better than Accringtons", now that is a fine endorsement. Who do we present the medals to?
