Next weeks friendly against Wolfpack moved from Friday night to Saturday afternoon 2pm kick off.

Oh, no! What a shame...

That will save on the electric bill !

No, no, it's because of the weather forecast. You know the one where no snow is forecast on Thursday or Friday and the pitch certainly won't be frozen.

Goog as I couldn't go Friday (performing at the Alhambra in Made in Dagenham) but now I can

They should be used to cold weather if they are Canadians

Big IF, that Maccbull…..

No squad announcement for tonight's (correction tomorrows game). Suggests we'll get supporters to pay up front and then announce it as a 'reserves' fixture?

Bit unfair, Kear's made it obvious in several interviews that he was not going to be giving the full squad a run out as the Fev game is priority. Think we're all expecting Crossley for 40 mins but fringe players making the bulk of the squad?

Bradford's 23 man squad

Crossley
Garside
Storton

Not exactly what I'd term a 'reserve team'...albeit not 'full strength' either. With Falangan suspended, and a few players injured or carrying knocks, that looks about as strong as anyone could expect.

I bet Chisholm plays the full game as he's not had much gametime.

Quite a strong squad there, quite suprised. Must say after last week's epic I'm not so enthused by the visit of Toronto now - bring on Fev.

I'm giving it a miss this week, need to be fit for the Fev game. I pity the person washing the kit this week,2 more players added to the squad.

But this isn't a "friendly", it's for the Transatlantic Cup! I don't know how you can miss such an important occasion



On the original subject, it's a good job they moved the game. The 10 degrees that my car said it was on the drive home from work would definitely have been hazardous to the players

Well yeah, the number of times I've decided against doing something on the basis of a weather 'forecast' is unbelievable. In fact, the only thing more unbelievable is the fact that I do it again and again...

I think the reason for the game change was due to the new lights blowing after 1 use.

Anybody have any thoughts on the match ?? Please could not get sound or video here. Thanks..

Nowhere near full strength.

Looked like a team that didn't really want to be there. Going through the motions really. Think we just want pre-season to be over and what to get on with the serious stuff. Not full strength either. Toronto looked sharp and look to have got rid of some of the rough house Rowley tactics. Can't see passed them for promotion.


Expect a different attitude and team for next week. Still... hasn't stopped some on social media making statements based on an under strength team in a meaningless game. We really are upsetting a few
