I haven`t looked forward to a home League game this much for a long time and it should just about be a sell out I think our Yorkie friends have flogged all 1800 tickets already so it will be some atmosphere . I remember many years ago around the same time of the Season playing Bradford at home and an on loan Neil Woods scored much to there annoyance after we had thrashed PNE away the previous week . A win next week courtesy of Hanson and maybe we can take it as a good omen and indulge in some nostalgia . UTM
I hope I’m wrong but I doubt it’ll be a sellout, I would guess about 7.5k. UTM |

Even if it looks like their are no empty seats, the official attendance, is never close to the ground capacity (8933) |

was that at The Odsall(?) Stadium ? doesnt look like Valley Parade. Post edit ...i have since remembered  i was at the game and it was Valley Parade before redevelopment. I loved the obvious Tony Rees / Gary Childs one two with a back heel on the seond goal .....although possibly not seen or remembered as being as succesful as the 98 version, the football that that team produced was far better IMO. Glorious times. |

Inclined to agree with that Moosey. That team was an absolute joy to watch.

No, it was Valley Parade. I took a Bradford fan (work colleague) in our end which he did not enjoy too much |

We'd had a bit of a stuttering run up to that game so it was particularly joyous to get us back on track, we were still in a promotion place but we hadn't won away for a while IIRC. |

Looking forward to this one
Travel arrangements and tickets purchased weeks ago - should be a cracker.
Against Cambridge we saw a lot of the ball, almost 70% possession - we didn’t do too much with it, mind. We went with 433, playing Donaldson, Vaughan and Doyle (DVD) up top. They haven’t played many minutes together as a unit and it was telling on Saturday. I didn’t agree with not starting Scannell, and I don’t think Gary Bowyer will make the same mistake next week.
Jermaine Anderson went off with a slight knock, so he might not feature. Up steps Hope Akpan if that’s the case.
I think we’ll switch to a simple 442 for this one.
GK: Richard O’Donnell
RB: Kelvin Mellor
CB: Anthony O’Connor
CB: Ben Richards-Everton
LB: Jackson Longridge/Adam Henley
RW: Sean Scannell
CM: Matty Palmer
CM: Hope Akpan
LW: Jordan Gibson/Zeli Ishmael
ST: James Vaughan
ST: Clayton Donaldson
It’ll be a close affair, but I think we’ll edge it.
1850 rowdy chickens!

Tried to call the club shop a couple of times this morning but had no luck.
Is the promotional free ticket for ST holders available for the Bradford game? I know previously it has excluded first game of the season/more in demand fixtures but it only appears to be bank holiday games this year.
Cheers in advance.

Is that the Richard O'Donnell we had on loan when we first dropped into non-league?
Only played a handful of games for us but I remember him doing well.

On the off chance anyone was interested - you can use it. |
