Remember we got absolutely stuffed by Sheffield at home this season too. In fact I’d go as far as to say that “performance” was the worst I’ve seen in 30+ years as Bulls fan.

I fear for our current side if the likes of Yere and Mexico are in the mood again. We lacked stomach for the fight that day and we’re still lacking in that dept. Fax getting well beaten wasn’t what we needed either as it’ll serve as an incentive for them to put in a better performance this week.

Think we'll hear a lot of talk this week and then another non-performance at the weekend.

Sadly, all that is quite correct.

Meh. Not really bothered either way. If the weather is looking crap I might stop in and watch the Olympics where a bit of sporting dedication will be on show.

Think the Olympics will be well finished by then.........

This Sunday? That seems optimistic.

Well with Fax getting hammered by Sheffield it shows there are nothing more than an average side. Its just that they get absolutely bang up for it every time they play us. We don't. It's an attitude thing every time with this game.

When the going gets tough or it's required for us to dig deel, our response as been utterly pathetic.

If they lose this at home the mood could turn ugly. 5 in a row?

I think we will get hammered to be honest, the players apart from a few did not look interested yesterday so it will be just a case of going through the formalities until we actually have a slightly more meaningful game to play. Most look like they cant wait for next season and the crowd yesterday was very poor as well and a lot of people commenting after the game they simply could not justify paying Bradford's prices for a jumped up friendly.

Well it’s all gearing up to be a total non event. Should be quite a spectacle. A test of who is least disinterested.

I still think we’ll get turned over, Fax are obviously the favourites given their run of wins over us. Fax fans don’t get to claim otherwise.

If we win we’ll scrape it unconvincingly.

As a season ticket holder I feel no incentive or obligation to go. I’ve already paid but then again the Olympics are on which will be more enjoyable viewing I think.

The incentive for the players should be that administration, and therefore a subsequent points deduction, is not yet out of the window, so we should be trying to amass as many points as we can from these remaining games rather than just assuming we've already done enough.

I'm not letting hill-dwelling troglodytes show less interest than me. I'll be there staring into space, mucking about with my phone and toying with the idea of getting a burger but ultimately choosing not to.

Wow.... We are feeling in the depths of despair.

I'll be there. Not overly bothered if we lose, but I'd prefer to actually have a team that loses (even if they can't be d) than be an RL orphan because we showed the same amount of fight as the Show Ponies have this year.

I have to believe that the good times will return. It may take a year or two, a new owner or a complete clear out of the team. So as High Royds is no longer open Odsal is the only place to be.

Has to be my favourite post.

That's the kind of pep talk I was hoping for. I may yet join you.

With prices slashed to £15 my season ticket just lost value.... Still 6 more homes games if we sort ourselves out eh?!?!?

[url=http://www.bradfordbulls.co.uk/news/post/ticket-prices-slashed-for-championship-shieldYou can now not give a flying one either way at the bargain basement price of less than before[/url

Wow, £15, I am almost tempted to go...


...no probably not, not really.

In fact, maybe I will spend the week talking up how important the game is, about how I am really up for it, and then on the day, not bother to watch.

That would be a fitting tribute.

I'd call it the "Fev preparation".

On a more serious note the malaise the side is in hasn’t just happened it’s been around for months and allowed to fester and grow. A similar situation is affecting Hudders at the moment. Their new coach said something after their loss to Salford that chimed with me and could be said about the Bulls players too:

“There are some habits that have been in this squad for a long time that need to be changed. That’s not going to be easy, but it has to be done to make sure we turn things around.”

I will not be attending on Sunday, lost all interest, I shall be finding something a little more interesting to do instead

I'm deffo going - only because I might finally win the Golden Gamble if nobody else turns up.

The poor attitude hasn't been around for month in my mind. Even though we got to the £1m game I still remember many games last season where our performances were terrible but we scraped through. This year they have been terrible but we failed to win them at the last minute. We have been lethargic for two seasons - and all those since McNamara took over.

These games though are not totally pointless. I assume we keep the home game receipts. So, if we make the semi is that 5 games where the semi is all takings. Reach the final and we get half of that. OK, each game up to the semi may only be a couple of thousand walk up at say £15 with extras added. Lets say they get £30k per game X 4. The semi could bring in say £60k and the final could bring in another £30k. If we win it we get £50k extra on our money next year. So, we do need to do well here to bring in around £260k so this is why Smith will play to win every game. We need every penny of that so we do need to go and spend money when we get into the stadium.

yes, VBFG deciding to buy that burger could be the first straw to mend the camels back.

Well the club are doing tickets for £15 for each home game. Dunno if those are pre-purchase price of the price on the day.

It would be sensible to have the price on the day, the club could at least take a look at how the crowd turns out a cheaper ticket
