We get a mix of local lads and 'offf-cummed-uns.
Personally, I think being in the second tier can be sold as an advantage to the young players as they have a far bigger chance of breaking into first team open age at a Championship club than in SL. Whilst history no doubt plays some part in the club's attraction, I'd guess most kids would take advice about where to sign junior forms and the success level of our academy speaks volumes, to be honest, you need only look to SL rosters and the England squad to see that. As a championship club we play above our weight in the academy.

Anyone playing for Bradford academy will have an inbuilt safety net that even if Huddersfield don't eventually sign them, they can always play for Bradford.

I wonder what plans are being made for the season being delayed again? The situation will be unchanged for some months at least. Can see a game without fans until mid summer at least too.

LOL, those were the days when other clubs only took the one's which (at the time) didn't 'fit into our plans' - and a few of those turned into internationals. Ryan Atkins, Brett Ferres et al.

Fixture congestion due to a late start may mean we have to play at the same time as Stock Cars. What a rush that would be.
