Bradford City Released:
Callum Johnson, Gabe Wadsworth, Jamie Walker, Romoney Crichlow, Sam Stubbs & Vadaine Oliver.
I know its clamouring for ex players but i'd love Crichlow back. Good Left footed CBs are harder to come by. |

Was decent here and just played in a promoted side for the last few months of the campaign. He'd be a good signing. |

Don’t want to sound arrogate here, but in terms of sides in L2 next season we have got to be one of the most attractive for a player. With our form in 2025 and some of the players here surely players would see a good chance at promotion. Unfortunately the off field stuff is where we are let down (again).

Was thinking much the same. Without promotion, I would specualte that Bradford would have offerred him a new deal. Very good at this level. |

You are assuming that footballers movefor football reasons and not pay/security/. I'm not saying the club is wrong to have a wage strucrure -quite the opposite. I'd be suprised if we aren't on the lower side when it comes to pay scales. That said we did get Will Wright and Harry Smith. |

There must be a large element of adding a promotion to your CV and also all the added incentivised bonusses for promotion, not to mention the higher exposure in being at a successful club, especially if you have a good cup run thats televised. Just a thought  |

From the station at Colchester
To the cells of Warrington
From the services at Leicester
To the slums of Northampton
We travel over England
And one day Europe too
Cos we all follow the Swindon
We're the famous Town End crew.

Yeah agreed financial security is massive, especially at this level. However if your looking for somewhere to develop your career and be in a promotion chasing side I can’t see there being many other better options this summer in League 2. You’d like to think Prem/Champ clubs would be thinking the same when sending their players out on loan in L2. |

On that list of Bradford releases, Sam Stubbs, CB, was on loan at Cheltenham last season, their POTS and made it into Who Scored's L2 team of season.
I know they'd love to resign him but expect others will pay more. Would be a good signing for any L2 club so doubt we'd be up there in payment terms

Just a thought Back in the day, Phil Smith turned down a contract to learn to become a train driver, such was the salary level for squad players at this level. |

Just a thought That's how it should work. I'll realign my views when Armeen, Bycroft and McGregor sign on. |

I remember taking a NUFC supporting mate to a game at the CG in the late 90's and Fraser Digby drove out of the ground in a battered Vauxhall Astra, which I think was a bit of an eye opener for a PL club supporter... |
