Apologies if already started, couldn't find the topic.
I'm heading up from London, there's some direct trains from Kings Cross to Leeds and then can head from there to Bradford. Is that the best way?
Cheers

We always lose to Bradford. This must be how Oxford feel when they see us in the fixture list.

Awful record against Bradford in recent times but Yeovil beat them on Saturday so there is some hope.
I just hope we go there and take the game to them a bit unlike last season with Page in charge.
Some of the teams above us have really pulled away from us over the christmas period and we can't afford to be cut adrift anymore particularly as most have games in hand.

Comfortable 6-0 win for the Bantams.
Hilda starts and gets a straight red before the half hour mark. Facey has a shocker.
For those that don’t agree, check out my Doncaster prediction.

The only real piece of optimism that I can see is that Bradford’s home record is pretty poor - we will need to do something that we haven’t done for a while on the road and defend with discipline in numbers and hope they get frustrated and then hit them on the break.

Can't you get a train directly from King's Cross to Bradford Forster Square?

Will we see yet another changed line-up?
You would hope the same team would start again, unless Powell and Berto are fit enough to start.

Judging by the size of Berto a 10 min cameo is about all we can hope for. Of course he will tinker, he cant help himself

Strange. We all commented on Saturday that Berto looked a lot slimmer than had been anticipated due to previous comments. Weight certainly doesn't appear to be an issue, just hope he can get up to 90 minute match fitness sooner rather than later.

We don't always lose there...usually, yes! Won on my first visit a few years back when Doc Deuchs scored...2009?
No, you can't get direct from King's Cross to Bradford. However, hardly dificult ( if not pricey from London). Direct to Leeds...£4.20 rtn from there to Forster's Square - 12-15min every half hour or so!
Staying over. Corn Dolly, just a few minutes walk from ground and Forster's Square station is friendly, good ales and usually the BCFC fanzine for sale. Haigy's on Manningham Rd has since shut down!

£70 return to Bradford from Kings Cross Can do much cheaper than £70 if you split tkts! King's Cross - Donny £45 rtn. Donny - Leeds £7.70 rtn Leeds - Bradford £4.20 rtn.

What's the name of the pub the old man stumbles out of during the opening scene of the Rita, Sue & Bob Too film? I know Manningham Lane is referenced in that film. There didn't seem to be too many pubs around the ground last time I went. I guess in part due to the demographics of the surrounding area.

Agree with the others that Berto didn't look as bad as expected? Still looked like having a decent turn of pace. I hope to see: Ingram Facey Poole Ash Buchs Hoskins Crooks Grimes Foley JJOT Long Only changes would be Berto for Hoskins or Powell for Foley if they are fit enough.

No idea!!! Out of the away end, walk down Midland Rd towards town. After 5 mins walk at T-junction. Right then immediate left are two CAMRA listed bars (one a Record shop!). Turning left at junction, over carriage way and up the steps is the Corn Dolly - 7-10 min walk max!

It’s amazing how one player can give you optimism . If Hilda plays , anything could happen ! Interesting how JFH immediately played him on the left , I assume so that he can cut in and shoot . Everyone else has played him on the right and that’s where he did the damage on Saturday . I wonder if jimmy dare start him though because he may be a defensive liability .

The dilemma is do you start him and take him off after 50-60 mins or bring him on with 30 mins to go? I'd go for the first option, hopefully he will loose some of the weight he's carrying.
