Firstly, it's "our", not "are"



And secondly, I can only speak for myself, but had the boot been on the other foot, and Bradford had made that kind of gesture to help Leeds out, I wouldn't vociferously shout my hatred for them. Given the number of Super League clubs who supposedly want rid of Bradford, I would have hoped the more passionate Bulls fans would save their hatred for them, rather than a club who is publicly supporting them...

But theres always going to be rivalry during the game. If you read other posts everyone is grateful to Leeds for doing that but during games everything changes.

At least we out sung the Whino's fans, and only 18k attendance?!! come on Gary if you need to make some money back because of your gesture to the Bulls don't be so obvious, fiddle it on the next home game!

You're entitled to your opinion - I'm just saying that wouldn't be the case for me. Everything doesn't have to change - it's very easy to support your team without expressing hatred for the opposition.

So nice to see that, at a time when rivalry is sidestepped in favour of the bigger picture of trying to save a club on the brink, you're completely oblivious to said bigger picture and still consumed with negativity. Classy, real classy.....

So you believe there was only 18k there tonight? just an observation...

I was dissappointed with the bradford fans turn out tonight;I thought they numbered up pretty poorly.It seems your own fans pockets are financially
jaded,which is a shame.
As for out singing the leeds fans dont make me laugh

Is this the same "Whinos" that have now ploughed thousands of pounds into your debt ridden club to save you?

Outsung us? Are you Wigan fans now?
Didn't know it was a singing contest or else I'd of brought Robbie Williams along for the ride.

Was expecting quite a lot of the Fat Dogs but all they sung was Wigan or Bradford City songs not to mention annoying innocent suits on the way to Headingley from Leeds station. Drunk chavs is Wigans thing, don't follow down that route.

As for the game, you completely matched us for 40 minutes. Played some good rugby and I thought an upset was on.
Silly mistakes cost you, even when we Sir Kev got sin binned we looked comfortable.
As for bloody Ganson, really?
Is he a SL ref? The decisions tonight for both sides were shocking.
Stuart bloody Cummings have a word!!

All in all good evening, good win.
To be fair on that performance I don't think you lot can be down, I'd say they were plenty of positives from a Bradford point of view.
Keep it up, keep going and all the best for the next few weeks!!!

The crowd was 18k. S Stand was nowhere near full. W Terrace probably 3/4 or so overall.

Lots and lots of s on this thread.

Bulls fans did turn out in numbers. Way more than previous seasons but my word, we were flat. We were way louder last season and not because we won.

A really weird atmosphere to be honest with the Leeds fans as quiet as we were in comparison.

The usual hatred was missing for me and it was a poorer game and matchday experience for it.

We beat ourselves tonight, think we gifted 4 of Leeds tries. Langley knocked on 3 times, Sammut not finding touch. All Pryce did all game was run into Sammut to gift Leeds a try. Very frusyrating performance. We badly missed Kearney.

For the Leeds fans moaning about the "we hate rhinos chant" It's a derby, your our rivals. Yes it was a nice gesture and we appreciate that, but it's a local derby FFS. What were you expecting Bulls & Leeds fans to join hands and start singing?

There is no need for the word "hate" in ANY chant. I "hate" rapists, murderers and chavs (

), I don't "hate" professional sportsmen who are doing their best for their club. Dislike? Perhaps... Hate? Never - especisally if their club has just made a huge gesture of support for my club. But then again, I guess I'm making the mistake of using rationality...

We dislike Rhinos doesn't really scan though does it?

If you find it distasteful that someone is able to simultaneously feel genuine gratitude for the club whilst at the same time desperately want them to lose, then I don't think you understand sport.

Oh, and whatever you do, don't go to a pantomime. People actually boo the people on stage after paying money to see them. Seriously!

You can desperately want a team to lose and boo them all night long - doesn't mean you have to hate them, whether it "scans" or not!

Pathetic. Obviously missed last dozen derby games!

if you thought thought,or are you certain there was more than 18k?why not ask regular Leeds fans who can usually estimate the crowd quite accurately?

well you know to some of us they are only psuedo derby games.Our real derby rivals was always Hunslet,another club that fell on hard times that help pull you out of the mire "AGAIN"

Anyway back to the game itself....

I thought it was an entertaining game to watch and there was some pretty good tries scored. Not a lot between the two sides except we pretty much beat ourselves with some uncharacteristic errors that gifted a few tries to Leeds. Sammut and Pryce running into each other for the bomb was a bit embarrassing. But I thought the scoreline probably flattered Leeds a bit towards the end but if by some miracle we make the play offs after points deductions, I would hold no fears about going to Headingly.

Hargreaves was immense and I'd be interested to know why BJ didn't play? I think for this game he would have been a better option than O'Brien.

Sammut was chosen ahead of BJ. I think BJ has played well enough to warrant his spot on the field. Did not deserve to be dropped after the London game.

Apparently BJs defence is worse despite missing fewer tackles in more games

Was expecting quite a lot of the Fat Dogs but all they sung was Wigan or Bradford City songs not to mention annoying innocent suits on the way to Headingley from Leeds station. Drunk chavs is Wigans thing, don't follow down that route.


Thats rich coming from a set of fans who have been singing football songs for years, marching on together stolen from Leeds UTD.

On the game...

I believe the scoreline did flatter Leeds but they edged it in terms of finishing quality, generally mopping up our mistakes. Was a big loss losing Kearney as he was looking dangerous running some nice lines in attack.

Some big hits from both sides and as always a tough derby game with a cracking atmo..

Text book chicken wing by mcguire on Kearney which went unpunished. He stayed on but would be interesting to know what kept him off

typical luck for the bulls! get back crookes and scruton (both played for reserves) and lose platt and kearney!

Didn't get to the game, had to work



I personally think some of my fellow rhinos fans have been a tad sensitive about the chanting "we hate whinos" it's a derby game and I would expect some banter. I don't suspect people hate Leeds or many of us want to get "fathers gun".

You can still appreciate the act of helping out your club and still give banter at the games. I enjoy some light hearted banter.
