Really don't get all this dislike for Bradford City. They are only 1 division above Halifax but I don't see this level of hostility towards them!

queenybantam07 From 2016 “ Annnnnnnnd new owners confirmed. Take over next week. Initial £10m investment to get out of L1, then on from there. Keep talking little pups, keep talking. We've been through some reete sheete since relegation from the Prem in 2001, but nobody can deny that we're on our way back. I suggest you beg for more pocket money To ensure Champ status, because it's becoming very likely we could be leap-frogging you next campaign.” That went well Blokes not been since Forestieri penalty at that other great world famous hot bed of football cauldron massive stadium.

Listened to radio Leeds for a bit second half. Andy Kiwomya, lovely bloke, but thick as pigshit. When they scored thought the commentator was going to have a major heart attack!!, delete the textsseconds after final whistle sounded were blaming Hughes!!, I would love a BCFC fan to explain why they think they are a massive club without me falling about laughing!!

I had a quick check on the Bradford forum earlier and they seen to expect the defeat and that they've been garbage all season, they like Crichlow though.

There appeared to be a somewhat shouty, sweaty salesman pattern of behaviour with Geoffrey. Perhaps he was really a solid, measured, dependable and reasonable character away from the Bradford City and the financial splurge.

TBF, Bilo and Jesusbantam seem alright to me. I expect that Crichlow will officially become their player from June 1st. Good luck to him. There was a time I'd have revelled in their failure, but we've been so much better than them for so long, it just seems cruel. My son is almost 22. He doesn’t see bcfc as anything but a League 2 club and almost doesn’t believe me when I tell him we were once rivals (well it was 25+ years ago, hard to believe!).

Once more into obscurity should be their moto.

Perhaps he was really a solid, measured, dependable and reasonable character away from the Bradford City and the financial splurge. He was a fucking twat and partly responsible for some of the bad blood in the 90’s by ramping up admission prices for Town fans at their place. Typical 4x2.

An obnoxious slug Took em to the promised land and also ensured they would spend the next 20 years in division 4

It only started after they came up after the fire even then I don't think it was that strong initially, it probably wasn't until the early 90's that it became a rivalry.

Now there's a team that does know how to get to Wembley. Halifax are playing Gateshead in the FA Trophy final this afternoon.

I used to really enjoy beating Bradford and the rivalry. In the 90's it really mattered to play and beat them Now I actually feel pity for them - God knows why it's proving so hard for them to get out of League 2 (where lets not forget the top three get automatic!) I'm kinda the same cos I've got some mates that support them, but when push came to shove yesterday I couldn't help but cheer Carlisle on.

Historically Bradford are a top 10 league 1 club, we're a top 10 Championship club. Overall league table has us 29th, Bradford 48th. Historically they're a 4th tier outfit and not even the biggest club in the city. Behind both PA and the Bulls 😉

They came on here in their droves at the start of the 16/17 season telling us the new owners were pumping millions in and they'll be above us soon. We've had two seasons in the premier league and two championship playoff finals since then. Anyone seen Bradford? 👀 Yup, the good folk of Barrow, Harrogate & Sutton (not Keighley Sutton, I doubt many of them will bother with Bradford) have had the pleasure of seeing them this season.... & next.

We'd barely played them until we dropped like a stone in the mid 70's
