The end of the world has been at the end of the garden path several times in the last few years. It's a bit premature to point to any event and say what it doesn't carry with it.

It's the worst I've felt as a bulls fan. I'm not saying that it can't get worse still. If it does then that will probably be the worst. To go from the very top to the position we're in at the moment is quite an achievement, you must admit that?

Well said Pal (Robin ?)....Braford fans will pretty low right now, but it shouldn't last too long. Remember when Fev won 'League One' 4 years in a row, and there only prize was that they could try and win it again the next year....

Sounds like a World Club Championship win.

Re: Fev Game : Sun Jul 24, 2016 7:41 pm  

Aye....im proper giddy tonight. Understandably bradford fans aren't.
But there is now a way back. Remember when leigh benefited from the Gateshead crash n burn? It felt like crapola.... but leigh came back and now have a route back to the big time..... .

Again, context. That was a massive game for both clubs given where they both are, don't you think?

Of course it was. I wasn't commenting on today's game.

It's not a feat unique to Bradford. It's been done many times before in many sports and will be done many more times in the future.

Exactly. That's sport.l

I'm still young as a fan - first ever game was 1996 as a lad with my dad and supported them since, especially in the past couple of years since I grew up a bit and started earning. I guess my early taste of rugby league was slightly skewed with the success of the late 90s to mid noughties. So yeah, this is easily the worst from my perspective in 20 years, and it is really no consolation to hear Fev fans tell me that it could be worse. We might hit a new rock bottom - who knows.

Couple of things:

1. I can't see the crowds turning out for this any longer, especially at the prices we are charging.
2. The squad needs revamping - Jimmy said they were the quiestest bunch he ever worked with and I'm translating that into "no leaders, no grafters".
3. Addy still can't tackle - he's useless.
4. There were some brilliant Fev fans there today who made my game day experience far better on the terrace, and without them I wonder if my mood would have been significantly worse.
5. Congratulations to Fev - you outgunned us in every department.
