First of all I'll echo the sentiments of the Bradford fan earlier, congrats on becoming Champions! Looking forward to the final game of the season - hoping you lot bring a few and make it a good atmosphere.
Secondly, pubs. The Bradford Arms is a stones throw from the ground and is usually the away fans' pub of choice due to convenience. There are a few bars on Centenary Square if any of you are pulling into the Bradford Interchange train station. But I'd also recommend a few pubs for the ale drinkers - The Fighting Cock on Preston St is well known in the area as an ale drinkers mecca. Always a friendly atmosphere - will be extra vibrant due to the final day of the season. It would however require a taxi to the ground but theres a taxi rank just up the road and I'm sure City fans in there will help out. And I'll also recommend the pie and peas! A little closer to the ground is The New Beehive and the Corn Dolly which are good old fashioned ale pubs with friendly home crowds.
Thirdly, a few things to expect. With it being the final home game of the season there will be a minute's silence prior to the game in memory of those that lost their lives in the Bradford Fire disaster in 1985. The reason I mention this is because the tannoy system is a little sketchy in the Midland Road stand so you might not hear the announcement. Over recent years, the two teams have come out to You'll Never Walk Alone so feel free to get your scarves out and make it as colourful as possible as it's always a highly emotional part of the day.
On a more embarrassing note, over recent seasons there has been an issue with some of the, lets say less-educated members of the Valley Parade home crowd that have felt the need to invade the pitch and entice the away fans at the final game of the season. The club have been working to prevent this year on year, but if it does happen, don't lower yourselves to it. I'm sure you won't but its just a warning none the less.
Lastly, enjoy the day! The majority of the City fans will be very congratulatory and will want to share a drink and a laugh with you. We'll be celebrating the end of the season for much different reasons but a good day to be had either way.

Well after 15 minutes of Elvis on hold to the ticketline I've got my tickets for Saturday. Hoping a few of you make the trip to make it a bit of a party atmosphere!

A 15 minute queue can only be a good sign in terms of ticket sales

put it this way, I waited for nearly 15 mins on the phone to talk to somebody in the shop. And unless Steve Evans is having a family trip to Swindon, I don't think they are having a rush on 3XL shirts |

Just seen on Twitter that we've now sold over 1,000. 250 left from the initial allocation. Reckon we'll shift those?

1000+ to Bradford for what will essentially be a sing-song is pretty good.
Well done all.
