[quote="The Devil's Advocate"]Oh really?

Did Bradford have a different ground back when they got to 5 Grand Finals on the bounce?

Playing bad for a decade – what about the 5 Grand Finals on the bounce?

Why not do what the missing Bulls fans do.

we are playing worse now then we have done for 10 years (easier to understand?)

Bulls win game. Folk who do not wish us well find things to whinge about. Nothing new under the sun.

I think the scope of activities available in West Yorkshire compared to Wigan/Saints (eating pies/rugby league) and Hull (kicking people in the face/rugby league) keep Leeds/Bradford derby crowds low IMHO.

A casual stroll throught the lunatic asylum shows that faith does not prove anything.

It was pretty cramped at Odsal last night, felt like more than 14k

Nice try. It actually occurred in West Yorkshire involving people from, err. West Yorkshire.

Bye for now.

Says a lot about the kind of 'fans' you attract- sad really, I thought RL is about supporting your team, not admiring the stadium. Look at Headingly- not brilliant but Leeds can attract the crowds.

Personally I think Bradford have to move away from the whole 'Bully Bully' thing, it's passed its sell-by date.

We didn't steal them, they were willingly donated so long as we promised to use them as often as we can!

:wink:

If London is Athens, Yorkshire is Sparta, a tougher community and proud of it.

rubbish, you all managed to find odsal when you were successful and lots of free tickets

personally i think the lack of success recently just shows that a lot of bradford fans really were/are fairweather/gloryhunting fans

i dont think the leeds-bradford derby can come anywhere close to matching the wigan-saints and hull derbies, in fact i would say cas-wakey is getting bigger

the Claret And Gold Machine is ready to roll

sunday September 1st 2013, when a dream became a reality!!

Yeh, same was said around us. Some gaps, but the seating stand was full and away stand was over half full and pop stand was significantly more cramped than we've had for a while! With the Hull KR game it was announced as around 12,000 and that felt bigger.. plus Hull KR had a lot of fans in the pop stand compared to most other teams.
