    Something a little bit more light hearted to get away from all the protests and what not. Might be a way of people finding new places to go;

    What is your pre match routine?

    Where do you go in Bradford before the game?

    I've seen a few mention the sweet man on midland road. He does a decent trade.

    I usually do North Parade before the game but this week went to an Italian Cafe on the road above the main stand for a few bottles of Tyskie before the game and it was a decent place to meet.

    If these places do their trade out of 23 home games, hope our dwindling attendances don't affect them too much

    Glad you called into Bar Italia it’s a great little spot and gets a good trade on match days. The owner is a great guy and the locals very Italian. I call in most times when I am in Bradford will be calling in today.Any brandy lovers on here his Vecchia Romagna is well priced and my favourite brandy. My match day experience as rather changed over the years no more Fighting *@?$ and working our way to the ground. For The Portsmouth game Keighley Massive will be retracing our steps and hopefully meet up on North Parade for the march.

    I didn’t even know it was there but went in with a couple of lads I know. Can imagine he does well on match days.

    Not a big brandy lover myself but will definitely be re visiting.

    What match? Given up...........until such time as these lying and cheating buggers leave our club. My first game was in 1969 and I have had a season ticket since 1995. Just had it now. The pitch is a disaster area, the boardroom???

    Went in old penny bank for the Charlton game. Was alright. I struggle to find somewhere near ground that has the footy on before a game though?

    If and when we ever get to a point where people enjoy going down to VP again, I’d love to see a proper fanzone. A marquis type thing, with beer and street food from local restaurants, vids of of history playing, games and face paints etc for the kids. Make it part of the match day experience. Could make the club a few quid too.
