This Valley Parade pic was brought up on the Bradford forum recently. I don't know why but I find it unbearably sad.

Looks like one of those fifties B movies where aliens have put everyone in a trance.

Not going to get much of a Mexican wave going there...

Same stand yesterday!

Same stand yesterday!

I prefer the previous one

I think Bradford have played Stockport more than any other club, a fixture sorely missed by me. Good luck.

I remember breaking down in the fast lane of the motorway once on the way to a night game at Bratfud, that was a fun experience

He did ok. A bit nervy and seemed to not understand how we play but then he wasn't the only one. Four other debutantes yesterday and all were all over the place but these things take time.

8 debutants for us! We looked a team of strangers. Time will tell whether we can develop a style of play that will keep us safely in league 1.

At a guess i'd say that was taken in 1974.

Part of the tiny claret and amber family, Bradford City - Roma - Motherwell - Detroit FC so I like them. I have followed Louis Moult's career since he was in our stiffs, he is a highly motivated kid, think he will go upwards from there.

That's as good a reason as any to have a soft spot for a side I suppose!

A few of the reasons I dislike them:

1 - They should have been relegated when they went into administration in 2002/3, but were spared because Falkirk didn't have a ground that met SPL criteria (FFS).

2 - Pat Nevin left us for them, on the day I'd got Nevin 7 on the back of my Killie top. Not had a name or number on the back of a football kit since.

3 - Fir Park is a shiter of a stadium. And the pies are rank.

Fir Park is a shiter of a stadium.

A Firkin' shiter of a stadium?

Aaaaah.. Pat Nevin. One of Chelsea's greatest ever players imvho. Such fantastic skills. He's up there with Osgood, Harris, Drogba, Zola, Vialli, Gullit amongst others as far as I'm concerned.

To say the least. One of the stands doesn't even run the length of the pitch.

Agreed. He's one of the best players I've seen at Killie, and I've just about recovered enough from my boyhood disappointment to be able to enjoy his punditry - which I reckon is probably the best of former players.

Yeah, but they're the ones behind the goals!

Game changer. Bargain
