Sad fact is a % of Super League fans (IMO a greater %) are now just that. Its great that new folk have taken to the sport but they have been introduced within the last 15 years because of the promotion SL has had, and know little of the game before and as a result don't have any interest in the teams outside of "their" competition.
Generally I have found if you come across SL supporters who have followed their club since before the introduction of SL, and even more so if they are the latest in an extended generation of supporters, then they often show more respect for those clubs outside the top flight.

Touchy lot you rams, well not too touchy, with the four of you that go you'll probably have a stand each!

Might be small in numbers but were not part timers like the most of your crowd.
Good job u started winning.

I'll bet you didn't even know RL existed before 1995. TIT!

rubs hands together



How much we betting sunshine?

remember the days when bradford used to get 1000 fans,before superleague when they then poached fans from keighley batley dewsbury halifax .....like how they now struggle to get much more than 8000.we may only get around 850-1000 home fans each week but there all loyal,i wonder what crowds bradford would get at the wrong end of champoionship and championship 1,weve been there and still got similar crowds.......by the way rl.org.youl find a decent amount of loyal rams fans on our forum,dont like to use fan forums with fans who know so little about the game.........

bet half bulls fans dont even know warren jowitt is a former player of theres



wel be outnumbered sunday but i bet we make more noise than youlot......

infact i dont think we do too bad crowd wise tbh considering we have the bulls wakey huddersfield and leeds all based around us.unfortunate we cant all be fulltime,ANYWAY OFF NOW BACK TO RL.ORG TO TALK WITH FANS WHO KNOW ABOUT RUGBY LEAGUE.....

This thread is truly bizarre. I came over here from the Bulls forum because a Dewsbury fan alerted me to Bradford fans misbehaving and generally being disrespectful. I thought to myself this is a bit out of order.

So here I am to have a look, only to find that contrary to what I expected, actually all this thread appears to contain is series of bitter rants against Bradford and its fans. If you wish to preceive a series of good natured posts enquiring where everyone was, as a criticism of the club's fanbase then that's pretty sad.

Some quality bitterness on this thread! Is that a bag of McCain's on each shoulder?

How's your new stadium coming on Bradford?

i was referrin to steamingbull02,the ant bulls comments are also from fax n cougars fans...

Our stadium plans continue to lurch from disaster to disaster. Very much similar to the history of Doncaster RLFC.

59 years of propping up the league and still going strong!

Yet it was you and dewsburys other three fans who started the mud slinging, i couldn't help slinging some back, i know i should have resisted, but it was too easy



Anyway im glad it didn't take you 3 weeks to reply (unlike the original post

) to my friendly banter!

Thats another small club we've helped out in the past

steeminbull02 u may wish to re read the thread,it was all pretty freindly banter until u put yor first post on this thread,the only rams fans on this thread are equalizer muddyfunster and myself,the rest are donny keighley n fax supporters....anyway see ye sunday,imsure youl enjoy yor day as will we

Then i appologise to the true Dewsbury fans on this board!

Good luck for the rest of the season can't see it being too long before you start winning games!

To the rest of you mud slingers and de-railers you can all kiss my raab

!

Are we all best friends again now? Good good. I am really looking forward to the game. Well the beer mainly but the game as well.

yep friends lol.....

youl all enjoy ye sen sunday im sure,were a friendly family club,youl prob put 80 plus on us though and im been serious,wer strugglin with injuries at the minute and just not gellin at all,says in our local a couple of your lads are joinin us on dual contract after the game??

can we have orford and kearney please

??

Yeah, go Dewsbury, stick it to the superleague Bully boys!!!
(tee hee!)

Are Dewsbury at full strength today? As I fancy Dewsbury on the handicap.

Bradford squad for the game:

Patrick Ah Van; Vinny Finigan, Jason Crookes, Michael Platt, Gareth Raynor; Kyle Briggs, Cain Southernwood; Nick Scruton, Matt Diskin, Steve Crossley, Olivier Elima, Elliott Whitehead, Danny Addy.
Interchange: Adam O'Brien, Liam McAvoy, Tom Burgess, Tom Olbison, John Bateman, Liam McKay, Lewis Reed, Callum Windley.

So we're putting out quite a strong squad against you.

Should be a good game.

There'll be a few of us down to see Elima, Briggs & Diskin debut.

I really enjoyed todays game. Obviously the result was good for the Bradford fans but the banter in the stands was brilliant. Hope we get you in the cup this year!

What was the atmopshere like?
