Glory hunters from Huddersfield must have an extra layer of stupid next to yer typical Huddersfield resident. You've been better than us for a couple of years now and here we are with nearly double your average attendance. How thick are these idiots?

Is that the same Leeds pack that got completely outmuscled by the Wire pack? The Wire pack that got completely outmuscled by the Giants pack?

Seeya sunday bring it on!!!!!!

Oh aiiii nearly forgot tell Ainscough to bring his bucket with him

Within living memory? Challenge Cup, 1998.

Clearly nowhere near as thick as you are. The fixation of certain Bulls fans on gates / travelling support is dreary. If you have wet dreams over crowds then go and watch MUFC each week.

How pathetic that some Bulls fans try lauding it re trophy wins. When it is pointed out that RL was created in 1895 not 1996 they want to ignore the glorious history of our game and focus only on recent times.

When we focus on recent times (play offs in the last 2 years + a CCF vs zero) certain Bulls fans suggest it only matters if silverware is won. As if RL and what it means to people in the North (in particular) can be reduced to a couple of trophies. Of course winning them is great however TGG goes far beyond that and some numpties will never get it - their loss.

Alternatively if recent years are raised some bulls fans forget about the game on the pitch and start droning on about attendances and traveling support. These are topics they raised far less when they were winning. At games these people must face the crowd - calculator in one hand and paper tissues in another.

Anyone want to comment on the upcoming game?

No, that was Sheffield Eagles.

With respect, to listen to your fellow ingrates over the last fifteen years or so you'd think Bradford was supported solely by former Huddersfield fans. It didn't stack up then, it doesn't stack up now and it hasn't stacked up at any point in between. Not that it has stopped your five fellow fans from pi55ing all over the Bulls board about it every time we play. And fwiw, crowds are kind of important if you don't have someone buying success for you. You may recall this from your recent to mid-term history of having neither.



Too early for this Bulls team to make much of an impact imo. There's enough quality in the team to trouble the top four prospects on their day but it's not going to happen this weekend. We just played our first game with a recognised half back in 8 months, and it was his first game in about as long. We don't have enough direction and there are too many errors.

Errrrm. Yeah.

Name-calling always reflects the credibility and intelligence of the poster.

=#FF0000 EDIT no personal insults. 7 days in the cooler mick

Didn't work. Try again.

Try now. You are gone for good. Goodbye

Ok - back to the top. I can't really comment on your guys, I haven't seen much of them recently apart from the Harlequins game. I don't know how much you feel your team have improved from last season. Bulls have improved a lot and should still have some more to go.

You should still be favourites for this. At home, settled side, good defence, consistent. You have been in contention for trophies the last few years. Confidence should be good.

We, on the other hand, have recruited heavily but well. Still working on combinations, not helped by the injuries to our creative players (mainly).

Good mixture of youth & experience in the pack. Actually having half-backs is a bit of a novelty. Also having a coach as well

.The centre/wing combos on both sides seem to balance each other well. And we have pace. We haven't had that for ages. While pace isn't everything, it sure helps.

The one thing which Potter hasn't sorted yet is our ability to self destruct with errors. Respecting possession will be worked on a lot this week. If we improve that, will be a cracking (and close) game. If we don't, you probably won't have to work that hard.

Ainscough is better under the high ball now btw

Could everyone please refrain from personal insults. One poster has gone for good. Now we seem to have really started the modding season i have had to locate the ban button again.

In fairness to the goat it was pretty funny! I LOLd!

Heh. Yeah, this has never happened. Not ever. Not even once, never mind the every season that Mr VBFG claims. What a tool he must be. He sounds almost dumb enough to be a product of the Kirklees school system. Couldn't be that though, what with him being a Bulls fan and everything.

Any comments on the actual game?

its all well and good banging on about they're 10,000+ fans etc but what they fail to realise is they club realised that they were struggling on the field and were losing 'license points' because they were such a dismal side so pulled out a trick to score extra points on the off field section

This season is sh** or bust for Bradford, they have gambled on offering a very cheap season ticket to avoid a further dramatic slump in attendances, due to the poor on field exploits of recent seasons.

If they fail to impress this season and show signs of massive improvement will they beable to afford such a cheap season ticket next season. Great if it comes off, but dismal fail if it does not.

Whereas we have KD, a great ground and a great team they have not, all they have left is to bang on about how many trophies they have and even then Wadski owned them.

I'm quite amused at how many people have taken to slinging mud around here. I think certain posters need to take a look at their own club (and i mean from both sides!) before mocking the inadequacies of the other.

IMO the game on Sunday (yes, i'm actually going to make a comment on the game which I think the thread is actually supposed to be dedicated to

) will be close.

Despite what any of you may think on here, the Bulls are much stronger this year, mainly due to the fact we have a coach who knows what he's doing!!!

Even though the Giants may have been the better side in recent years I'm fairly confident of a Bulls win at the weekend, as long as we can cut the silly penalties and keep our key players on the field rather than on the bench with an ice pack!!!

I doubt any Giants fans will agree but hopefully either way we'll see a good game of rugby!!!

Yeah lets all laugh at the Bulls for being innovative and devising a plan to make more profits and secure some of the biggest crowds in Super League. That is definately something to laugh at.

Who fails to realise that?

That's a great reason for coming up with this initiative isn't it? The club realised something needed to be done to address the falling attendances, they have done, it helps to secure the license and gets more and more fans through the gate and spending ££ on food & merchandise.

Already showed signs of massive improvement. Not hard considering how bad we were last season.

It was a good idea and it will be interesting to see if a good season for the Bulls will retain a good percentage of these fans for next year when the prices will no doubt creep up a bit. When we did it we retained a fairly good percentage the season after so a good season for the Bulls could well see a similar result.

the funniest thing on this thread is bulls4champs2010 ( must not s!) suggesting repeatedly that we are also rans, no my friend we are not also rans we are a club that has been nowhere near the top end of the rugby league circles for the best part of 40 years! and have lived in the shadow of leeds bradford,halifax,even dewsbury and hunslet at times! and dreamed of being where they were,top flight etc pulling in big crowds ( obviously only bradford northern fans will be aware of this ever being the case).
right now we are a club on the up and halifax, hunslet and dewsbury fans probably wish they could be where we are now! we are very close to overtaking bradford on the field and last year matched them off the field,this year could again be a close run thing.
so i would hardly call a club that has achieved nothing of note in 40 odd years also rans, i would say that is a club on a massive upturn in fortunes!

as for the game

giants by 10 after a strong battle up front after which our superior backs will punish the bully boys
