Title: Bradford tickets
Post by: SleafordRobin on Sunday, April 15, 2012, 11:34:13
Any idea when these go on sale?  Really don't want to miss the last game of the best season for years!

You'd think they'd have them on sale this week. Perhaps once the Gills debacle is all over? Hoping to go to this one.

i went there when it first opened after the fire (i think), it was our first game of the season, i remember jimmy cricket on the pitch before kick off, we got beat and there was a little scuffle in our end, anyone else remember it

I remember going the first game of the season after getting promoted, it was Gittens' first game & he played (badly) in midfield.

I went a few years ago when we equalised in about the 94th minute, we were in the two tier stand with everyone upstairs. I had started to leave so was in bottom tier on my own when we scored and celebrated in a whole terrace by myself. Must have looked a right cunt.

Last time I went it must have been during the McMahon era. My only memory was the overwhelming curry aroma in the air which made me quite hungry.

I was there as well. I remeber a pub landlord allowing Town fans to get completely bladdered and then moan to the club when it kicked off in his pub. Take the money but none of the responsibility. what I do remember other than the game was that when we were exiting it was dark and and there was an unexpectedly steep slope with a few Town falling over.
I didn't think Bradford was rough - thought it was OK.

Max 1800 tickets for away fans according to http://www.footballgroundguide.com/bradford_city/ (http://www.footballgroundguide.com/bradford_city/)

Could be a real scrum to get tickets

We'll get more like 4,000.

The ground is huge.

Bradford would be crazy to turn down a request for more. Why refuse paying customers in a meaningless end of season game?


Title: Re: Bradford tickets
Post by: cheltred69 on Sunday, April 15, 2012, 15:57:14
I hope we can get more - should be a great party atmosphere.
As said the ground is huge but I guess it would mean moving some home ST holders to accomodate us in another part of the ground from that usually given to away fans, so likely to depend on Bradford's appetite to do that.  As we've seen in the Gills debacle, football club decisions aren't always entirely logical or commercial.


Title: Re: Bradford tickets
Post by: Gnasher on Sunday, April 15, 2012, 16:04:49
I don't think we'd take more than 1500 to this unless by some miracle we haven't won the title by then.


Title: Re: Bradford tickets
Post by: Ralphy on Sunday, April 15, 2012, 16:08:47
Ground capacity = 25,000.

So they have to give us 2,500 min surely ?

It's 10% or 2,000 I think. So they could get away with just giving us 2,000.

I hope we get plenty. I've got quite a few friends who are up for this and a night out in Lids after. I'm quite excited at the prospect of getting on it in Leeds to celebrate a great season and BetFair giving me the best part of £500.

Remember that Stoke game well. The fella on the turnstile let my lad in for free as he was a small kid then.
Was a good atmosphere but kingy used it to try players out (Bakali was dreadful)

Rockin' Robin was on form that day, taking the piss out of the Stoke mascot on a few occasions.

On that note.

I saw us win at the Slave Traders (cup).

Lose @ Shrewsbury, Macclesfield, Torquay, Wembley (cup).

Off to see us against the Shots so it is my last chance against league opposition this season.
