Stuart improved the squad that Parky built and took it a stage further than PP could manage - an offside goal and a Billy Clarke miss away from Championship football.
Had that playoff squad been reinforced the following season, as it should have been, we'd likely have got automatic promotion. Instead the maniac Rahic was obsessed with acquiring and playing untried kids who would supposedly gain in value. He allowed key members of the squad to leave, replaced them with duds and failed to reinforce an injury-ravaged squad in January 2018. No manager could have succeeded working under Rahic, as was subsequently proved with several others.

 

Considering 90% of Bantam Talk members will be in Italy this summer, it's appalling that the club hasn't found a training camp in Tuscany. Or Sicily. Or Veneto.

 

I reckon it's Real Madrid. It was part of the deal when we lent them our bus.

 

Fact like it or not, Stuart McCall took Bradford City to Wembley in League One something Phil Parkinson didn't achieve.

 

Youve never read that comment on any of my posts @Ulysses S Grant, Phil Parkinson was a breath of fresh air and gave us 5/6 seasons of success IMO ranked amongst the best managers I've see at Valley Parade, but the fact is unfortunatly Parky didn't achieve what McCall did, I do believe if Rupp and his conman sidekick Rahic hadn't bought us season 2016/17 could have seen us achieve Championship football.

 

I think he just has

 

Yes he got sacked whilst in the play offs with a chairman who meddled in things. For a chunk of that season we were superb

 

Its the novelty isn’t it. You could pay £500 for a hospitality package to watch a mundane league game. Poor value but sometimes you treat yourself.

Fair play to those who have the money and time. Id be off in a flash for a piss up if I could, but I can’t.

 

Agree with Grimsby as a possible but not sure about Stockport even though they averaged 7K at home, give or take. With them a return to L2 may be a selling point. As for Donny, I understand they have asked for only 600 tickets and suspect they may not sell them all. I think there is a lot of disenchantment there after relegation. There is of course always the Salford Massif who will bring 50-100!.

 

Got tickets on line for the Derby and York games . Derby game Kop B block sit anywhere . York North Stand seats chosen in selected block (near WC for me ) and parking booked. Not bad for Old Skool booking on line, but I used to like going to the ticket office then walking up to Bar Italia those were the days. Mrs Rocket is tagging along to York not going to the game shopping in the outlet.
“What’s going on “

 

Booking my ticket, vamos Bantams!

 

Your getting carried away mate, @Fools Gold mentioned Alicante, but if Barcelona fancy a game I'm sure Sparkie can fit them in.

 

Why would you have a problem with someone spending their own money on a few days away in Spain, playing against a 7th tier Spanish side is irrelavent, I heard were playing Mark Robins Coventry City whilst out there.

 

Don Goodman skinning Kenny Burns and lashing one in at the Bradford end, memories!

 

Bologna please, 'cos I will be in the area. Surely that's why Sparks visited there recently?

 

That season Stuart got us to Wembley.
