So after the highlight of Saturdays victory we have another big game coming up. I think this will be a cracker as Halifax look much improved since we played them at their place and always seem to have a good performance in Blackpool. As do we. Important 2 points up for grabs here. Hopefully the last two games won't catch up with us.

Just hope we have enough in the tank after the effort on Saturday. Wouldn’t be surprised if there’s a hangover. Fax will be desperate for revenge for Good Friday. They’ve also got that new coach bounce. If we can avoid letting them build up a lead then we’re in with a chance but because of Saturday’s heroics I have them as slight favourites.

We’re going to be sick of the sight of each other by the end of the season. Three league games, a cup game and a possibility of a play off game too if both clubs finish in the top 5.

Plus another if we draw them in 1895 cup.

Have we ever played a side more than 6 times in a single season?

No reason why we can't beat Halifax now. We now have settled halves and first choice forwards at our disposal, though not our most potent wing and three quarter line. Funny really, at the start of the season we had these strike weapons available but depleted forwards and a different half combination every week. Thankfully our other lads e.g. DFJ are seemingly doing a good job for us at the moment in the absence of Hitchcox and Evans. I digress. Settled halves and first choice forwards = Bradford win in my book. Also, Bradford have crowd advantage at the Summer Bash year in year out. We take more than any other club I think, or perhaps similar to HKR and Leigh, and I think against Halifax that will count for something. Remember the first year of the Summer Bash against Halifax - narrow win IIRC and the crowd did not shut up for the entire game. It was remarkable. COYB.

Curtain raiser for the cup QF as well as a important league match. Both sides will want to put a marker down.

Does anyone know which stand we are in for the bash?

Wasn't going to attend due to work but that's moved now so will be free, want to but from bulls but say I need to collect from ground and living in Manchester that ain't gonna happen, so will buy from RFL, it does say south stand unreserved but then allocates me 2 seats.

Have you unearthed a BOGOF loophole?
