Bradford away

Really looking forward to this one. After last night's amazing atmosphere I hope we can recreate it again at Valley Parade. Anyone know how many tickets we've sold for this one?

Stadium holds 24,000 so get in there…..police permitting

Bradford police will most likely make it a Sunday 6am kickoff

Should be cracking. Can't see us taking the mega numbers to Bradford and Doncaster that we would have if we had anything to play for. Probably still have 2k at both though

Quoted from IlkleyMariner

The Mariners have received an initial allocation of 2764 tickets for the match. Please be aware that this fixture will kick off at 1pm at Valley Parade.

Bought my ticket after the match yesterday and was told just short of1800 sold

March has been an expensive month, can see that having an impact too…

With Donny just over a week later as well. 2k to Bradford and 2.5k to Donny would good with only where end up in mid-table to play for.

Anyone know if there is spare coach or spaces with people driving to Bradford? Looking forward to this but wouldn’t mind a weekend off driving considering the amount of miles I’ve put in recently.

I’m driving, drop me a message

As it is a 1.00 pm start will it be on Mariners TV?

I'm not 100% sure, but I think the ban on live streaming on a Saturday afternoon runs from 14:45 till 17:15.  That would be running things a bit close.

Bradford have sold 18,000 tickets for this, should be a cracker

Someone on the Bradford forum thought we might struggle to bring 500+. To be fair to the rest of the posters on there, they’ve shot him down in the knowledge we always travel well.

There’s some quite complimentary stuff on there. Even promoting the beauty of Louth and the Wolds.

Where is people parking as I’m driving ?

Quoted from Hurstomariner

Where is people parking as I’m driving ?

Usually fine on leafy streets off North Avenue, such as Parkfield, Oak Mount, Oak Ave and Cunliffe. Less than 15 min walk.

Be there at least an hour before kick off.

Quoted from Hurstomariner

There's three shopping centres near by, ranging from 15 minute to 30 minute walks. Not bad prices for parking in the them too. Gonna park at one of them and let the missus do some shopping, whilst at the game. Not been to Bradford away before.

Do you mean be at the stadium an hour before, or parking in them streets?

Don't forget that it's a 1pm kick-off!

I parked at the Westgate Multi Story last time we played them (pre-covid).... no issues at all

There’s also The Broadway, a fairly modern and roomy car park attached to the main shopping centre and very easy to get to from as you come in off the M606. Cheap as chips too. About 15 mins walk from the ground.

Worth noting that the Northern rail strike scheduled for Friday and Saturday has been withdrawn

1,941 sold so far probably end up at about 2.2k

1,831 bought by STH for Donny - circa 3k looks doable for that game.

Streets!

2025 sold

I can understand why we have such good numbers going away, they at least have a decent chance of seeing Town win, ( considering our home form🤣)

Living in Bingley and being incredibly lazy I have not pre-booked tickets for myself and my two boys assuming I could pay on the gate. Does anyone know if this will be an option on the day for the away end or is it all ticket? By way of an aside I was at Cougar Park on Sunday to watch Keighley pull of a a historic win against the Bulls. Let’s hope Town can produce a similar underdog performance on Saturday at VP.

It's not been made clear if it's all ticket tbh. I'd give the club a ring in the morning, i'm sure something can be sorted.

We're not that much of an underdog mate haha They're not particularly great at home and we're half decent away

Town and underdog go well together particularly the last two seasons so I suggest we run with it.

I have a spare adult ticket as someone has dropped out. Cost me £20 and will let it go for £15. Side stand. PM me if interested, thanks

PM sent.

Rang the club this morning and picking up three tickets from the Bradford Ticket Office before kick off. Arranged post match drinks with Bradford supporting mate at The Salt Beer Factory. Absolutely buzzing!!  

Just realised why Ticket Office are too busy to sell me a Bradford ticket. Donny tickets on general sale today.

Only through the Fishy and ringing Bradford do I now know that tickets can be collected from the Bradford Away turnstile area. Not their main ticket office.

As of 13.33 today Venue Toolbox are only offering collection from GTFC.

Thanks Skipton!

No problem. I should also add that GTFC Ticket Office confirmed that there is no pay at gate tomorrow.

Has happened quite a lot this season that the original ticket news post on the OS has told us there'll be pay on the day and then it later turns out that's that not actually the case. It's understandable that they can't confirm it immediately, but if that's the case they shouldn't be telling us that pay on the day is an option until it's 100% locked in.

I wouldn't be surprised if there are people that have waited for pay day for this fixture and won't be aware of this.

I've bought one online and trust that a shoe box of today's uncollected tickets will find it's way to West Yorkshire.

Any unsold tickets will be available on the day according to this...

The club have just posted that it is POTD. We are a bit crap at relaying this sort of thing

Just been to pick up my donny ticket. 2500 sold, 400ish left.

Someone from the club told me earlier today you wouldn't be able to get a ticket on the day so either she was wrong or they have had a change of heart.Good news though as it may make it close to a sell out.

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.

No phone ringing, no que. Just me in there. I was in and out in 2 mins.

Thanks. I'll get there early with my printed receipt and a positive attitude.

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

Knowing Hursty all three or none of them.

He likes to keep them quessing

Just a reminder to all fellow match programme collectors .... Bradford City no longer produce them, just team sheets.

Bloody bet be !! on Mariners TV / Radio Humberside commentary
Can't be there so its my way to keep up to date with "Town!"

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.
