[iAfter a run out for the reserves against Wigan Warriors hopefully Stefan Ratchford will return to first team action this week.

Plus who knows Ray Cashmere could also be available.

six wins a season and we are keeping our coach we must be skint or mad

I would say SKINT, but he does talk a good game, just hasn't a clue how to do the walk.

Perhaps his RL philosophy is a little advanced for the mental capabilities of many members of this team? One thing the GREAT players have, alongside the physical attributes, is advanced intelligence...

[iHead coach McRae is under contract for another year and I can't see Salford City Reds getting rid of him to be honest.

But I could imagine a move upstairs for him and only then will the Salford board bring in a new coach in to replace him.

A lot of people are of the opinion Ian Millward will one day be the head coach of the Salford City Reds but I would rather see someone like Dennis Betts brought in now if any big changes were/are to be made.

Bradford are crap, but for some reason I can see nothing other than a good stuffing. God I hate Odsal

Good chance for you to get a win at Odsal this weekend. When was the last time you won at Odsal?

Might have a couple of quid on a Salford win.

As much as I really, REALLY want us to beat a rather mediocre team rather than doing our usual vanishing act, ala KR, Cas and Wakey, I somehow fear the worst and expect nothing but a stuffing. However, if we (the fans) have as much fun as we did at Wigan last Friday, I frankly don't care... (Unless it's a close game of course.)

Altogether now, wooooooOOOOOAH, FORWARD!!!

Thing with the JJB is you can create a good atmosphere even with a fairly small following, same can't be said for Odsal I hate the place never ever get anything that resembles an atmosphere



The pre and post match sing songs in the Top house are cracking though

When a team has lost 8 games in a row, their eyes must light up when they see Salford next up on the fixture list.

Hmm, fair enough. So, how's about we make sure the Top House 'experience' (sorry, got carried away with the 'Bulls - experience theme there) more memorable than the probable rubbish in the Kays catalogue, or whatever it's called these days, stadium?

just a pity we can't play Salford



but i see a win on Sunday

21st April 1987

Bradford 12 Salford 23

Last game of the season..... had to win to stay up....

or have I got the year wrong...or addled brain.... or both

Nope you've got it spot on mate. think it was Andy Burgess' debut.

Yep. It topped off a topsy turvy season. We were terrible in the first half of the year and virtual certainties to go down. After Christmas, Salford's form was second only to Wigan — who won the Championship.

Well, another leg up for you. McNamara has been mutual concented out of Odsal so the Bulls are under Lee St Hillaire until the end of the season.

I

Not sure that's good news for us, new coach syndrome and all that*

[size=82*Although I accept he has been in charge at other points this season.[/size

Top House it is then

thank god i've got to work

Any ticket news? Sweet FA on Red Planet (as per usual

) but looks like £18 on the day if Bulls site is correct. Looked at trains and it seems the 12:07 from Oxford Road is the one to be getting as it's nearly a tenner cheaper than any of the others! Thought all Sunday fares were off-peak

. Once in Bratfurt what is the best way of getting from the station to the ground?

We usualy go for a couple of beers in the pub just outside the train station then jump in a taxi (the taxi ranks right there) to the ground, you can also get a bus from the bus station, which is just outside the train station as well.

Yeah enjoying going in the top house after the games, it gets really busy though because its only a small place, but the last few seasons we've always had a good sing song in there, which both the bradford fans and bar staff take in good humour
