Just been to pick up my donny ticket. 2500 sold, 400ish left.
Did you hear a phone ringing by any chance? No response all day for me! By contrast, when I rang Bradford I was informed that I was 5th in a queue. A pleasant chap told me that all remaining tickets would be brought back to Bradford and made available at the Away turnstiles. He said that this is an agreed practice across all League 2 clubs for the convenience of fans. There aren't that many fixtures within easy reach of N.E. Lincs and with an atmosphere a 20,000 crowd brings. Both exiles and Grimsby residents would benefit from clear and early communication from the OS rather than random sources. Too often, details are late,vague and/or conflicting. Someone needs to take an overview of the issues this season, especially when tickets are being sold for several matches at the same time. I get that resources are limited so would it not have been sensible to prioritise those customers buying tickets for the match next day?

The atmosphere was fruity in Feb 20 when the attendance was 17.6k so, at close to capacity, it’s going to be spicy.

So what line up and formation we thinking? Very much depends if Waterfall is back or not. Hurst intimated that one of Waterfall, Holohan or Taylor would likely be back in contention but he wouldn't say who. I wouldn't be against the team that started the other night but Hurst likes a horse for the course

Just a reminder to all fellow match programme collectors .... Bradford City no longer produce them, just team sheets.
|
| Batch, K.Moore, Waters, Wiggington, Crombie, Brolly, Ford, Drinkell, Mitchell, Cumming, Kilmore. D.Moore, Stone, Liddell. ....1979/80..... now that WAS a team. |

Looking at the official tweet, it's overseas subscribers only for live streaming. I don't really understand why.

Phew got the 2nd half on Radio Humberside after doing the push round "Mo's" with the "Non Grimbarian Wife" Who has to talk to half the shop whilst doing the shopping Who thought K/O was at 3 O'clock ..." Who are palace playing today?" Then says its my fault for not communicating properly.. In a former life I must have committed some wicked things. UTM
