    Don't care , as long as we win. The £41000 prize money could come in handy around Jan time.
    Although the Wendies or Derby at home with a 5 figure attendance as well as wining would be the cherry on top.

    Home game please. Don't much care who we play. I'll be back in the UK for the weekend and it's my birthday that day - no, it's ok. You don't have to get me anything.

    The BBC probably thought Harrogate were still a non league club!

    Oh yes but the less said about it the better, performance on the night not great but we still out sung the Kop the return of Dalglish made all the difference different class.

    The club have been keen to ‘explore’ earlier kick offs @Kevin1954@Kevin1954 https://www.bradfordcityafc.com/news/2022/september/have-your-say-kick-off-times/
    This would be an opportunity for them to do so, without upsetting Season Ticket holders who purchased on the basis of a 3.00pm kick off.

    I'll be going, it means I can get back earlier and have almost the full day to fit something else in. Win win when it's only a cup game.

    I must admit l find the explanation for the early kick off a bit implausible.

    ‘The fixture will be played in this time slot due to the availability of medical provisions - including ambulances - to cover the game, ahead of Bonfire Night’’. https://www.bradfordcityafc.com/news/2022/october/harrogate-fa-cup-date-confirmed/

    Having looked at all the other FA cup ties, then apart from those on TV, (South Shields), all other kicks off are at 3.00pm.

    ln the Championship, then apart from the Sheffield United versus Burnley game which is on TV they all kick off at 3.00pm.

    In the Premiership, the great unwashed East of Pudsey kick off at 3.00 pm. The other Premiership teams playing on that day also kick off at 3.00 pm, except for Everton who actually won’t finish until well into the Bonfire night celebrations as they start at 5.30pm!

    If the rest of the country can have enough ‘ambulances and medical provision’, then it is a damning indictment of the health provision in Bradford.

    l would rather the club were straight and said it was to save electricity! It’s things like this which knock credibility!

    For some reason the old bill seem to think Bradford v Harrogate is a game which will attract the kind of trouble seen for Rangers v Celtic. I know this is "hidden" under the scope of bonfire night but there is absolutely no reason why any of our games with Harrogate needed 1pm kick offs in the past.

    It's like the wild west in Bradford on most days, and fireworks are a daily occurance not a once a year thing.

    We have played many times on a bonfire night and even if we don't most firework and bonfire displays usually take part on the weekend of the 5th anyhow.

    If we were playing say Accrington on this weekend we would have see this game kick off at 3pm.

    Still it is what it is, the only reason the other game v Harrogate hasn't been moved is because it's on a Thursday night as it is.

    Aren't predictions part of discussing the match?

    You'd need around 12,000 at full price to generate 100k including prize money

    Seems a little odd that a winnable but not a walk-over FA Cup match you would leave out about the guy who has scored 13 goals this season when the rest of the squad have only scored 14 between them

    We are officially in a slump.

    Sort it out Hughes!

    Thought he'd have made more changes, seems like our regular XI just isn't on it.
