The Voice - Match preview #12: Bradford City vs Barnsley Saturday 18th October 2025 3:00pm

Clowns are notoriously hard to identify.

 

Unless a clown and brain dead too and decide to throw a flagpole.

 

No idea to be honest but saw at least 3 or 4 things thrown down from the top tier.

 

They usually have an orange face, white eyes and wear false hair pieces !

 

One was certainly mentioned on the tv commentary .Yes , upper tier changing room end of TLD .

 

I was two flags thrown by some moron in block A of the Kop as I sit just above in block H, I was surprised by the first one so when I guess the same idiot did it again my initial thought was this is the kind of idiot who will prevent the Kop looking like it does before games.

As for the TL dallas stand, it did seem some kind of vape was thrown when we were taking a corner. No room for any of it.

 

What sort of moron decides it’s a good idea to throw an object at someone doing their job, it really does beggar belief sometimes.

 

Some twohat once chucked a used hypodermic needle at me on a station in Central London . Some things you never forget ! I digress sorry.

 

Trump was in the away end???..

 

5 arrests at the weekend including a 14 year old for drunk and disorderly. If we are in the same division as each other next season I wouldn't be surprised if the police make this a 12:30 kick off after the problems on Saturday.

The car I saw was blocking access to a dropped kerb, no signs about that, you are expected to know your highway code.
I got one myself several years ago when I had a Smart car, managed to get it cancelled on appeal because of the small size of the car, but it taught me all about dropped kerbs.

 

Bloody hell, did he think he was entering the smack head Olympics for javelin! Some strange folk around.

 

I think they've recently added another sign about waiting on match days between 3-5 and 8-10 (I think). The trouble is there aren't nearly enough parking spaces in the City as it is. No park and ride that I'm aware of, and a bus service that takes an age due to the sheer volume of cars on Manningham Lane. This council is doing its best to put as many obstacles in the way of Bradford City supporters as it can. Cycle routes that nobody uses now preventing cars being parked, and now sneaking no-waiting signs during match days.

 

Within that 22,000 will be a sizeable chunk of brain dead illiterates, 5 arrests as you say isn't anything to get over dramatic about.

 

Compared to the games between the two sides of old that’s excellent , in fact it would be classed as amazing.

 

Lower kop dwellers

Amended for accuracy

 

Especially the first few rows of seats. It's like auditions for Shameless.

 

In isolation it's not a high figure but in the context of football it is quite high, I also wouldn't be surprised if there is more over the coming days as we know 1 more has been arrested from the Kop and there should be at least 1 more from the Barnsley end for throwing a missile at Power/Billy Bantam. This also isn't the first time this season with 2 arrested at the Huddersfield game plus 4 of theirs.
The average for football in England and Wales last season was 4.2 arrests per 100,000 and league 1 was 3.3 per 100,000, last season we had 8 arrests so at very least we are very close to that already.

I'm not say it's really bad or we are the worst but there is an element of risk for the police that is increasing and if it was to continue then we could see a few more of the bigger games moved to 12:30 kick offs. I also think the police need to look at an alternative to the current arrangements with the away fans being in the Bradford Arms as it is the most obvious hot spot for trouble, I'm not sure on what the alternative is but they really need to be looking to find one.
