    Leave the Altrincham game at the 10 min mark and pick up the latter part of the second half at VP. Easy when you open up your mind at bit. You could get a half and half scarf done as well. Truly a loyal fan.

    You had better disinfect all your seats after the 'Great Unwashed' have visited, you never know what unearthly diseases they have brought with them. :p

    Been to Marseille a couple of times and it's just Bradford but with sunshine.
    I think any OM fans will be right at home.

    They're from France, not Lancashire.

    Including our garbage training venue that we don’t own? The only green stuff to be seen in Marseille grows under lights so they will be stunned by the natural greenery ?

    I had a look at tickets sold by Sunderland earlier and it looks like they've sold less than 1000, they were given B,C,D of the midland road stand and this is what is currently left

    Isn't this the 3rd friendly against them in like 6 years? Plus the Marseille game in a few week. Then there were the FA cup game and the game in league 1, so they have had their fair share of VP in recent years. So for a pre season friendly it is still fantastic.

    Don't know where this money spinning narrative is coming from.

    Sunderland will probably bring a few thousand at most (4 or 5k tops) and Marseille certainly less than 1k. Will be a sub-10k crowd even with cheap ticket prices inciting a few thousand locals.

    Same reason he's fleeing to France.

    Building up a rapport with Safc so when they needed a venue while SoL was out of action, they phoned us!

    Safc will bring 3-4k vs us. They’ll bring closer to 10k for this. Some of the best fans in the country. Barn pots.

    Never had a moments issue with Sunderland fans. Great loyal supporters who always enjoy their time in Bradford, and are welcoming when we go there

    They'd certainly never taunt us about the fire disaster like your lot did that's for sure. And they'd never dream of interrupting our emotional end of season minutes silence like Carlisle did a couple of years ago. Absolute scummy bunch of fans that seem fairly obsessed with us

    We’ll be charging a fee to provide the stadium. I doubt we’ll get anything from ticket sales.
