My ex-next door neighbour in Heaton was one. She & her friends would practice their songs & moves in the back garden. I would take great delight in shouting 'Tigers' at the most inopportune moment, then go back in the house. I often wonder if she still attends games, apart from her mental aberrations she was a lovely lass.

I was going to ask why you were watching these nubile young things practising their moves in the first place, until i remembered how frequently you are locked out and in the doghouse

My one piece of anecdata: Where I stand on the deserted side of the ground there was one young teenage girl who used to go with her dad. She graduated to going with her mates, and now goes with her kids.

Remember the official Bulls board 10 years ago was dominated by teenage girls, half the threads would be like this:

BullsGirl4Eva: hey luk at these pics of McAvoy wiv his shirt off
robbieslilangel: OMG OMG! *faints*
DeacsShowUsYaCheeks: oo he is soooo fine lol

What happened to these girls? I assume they were about 13-16 then so they must be in their mid 20s now, probably have kids of their own, are they still into rugby league? I was wondering whether they are still supporters and Odsal regulars just aren't as prominent on the forums any more.

Simple answer - club lets eye candy players go and female fans follow!

Say what you like about McNamara but he had nice legs in his playing days and a quite a few of his players were pretty boys Potter has mostly signed ugly men apart from Bryn Hargreaves!

They all watch x factor / premier league football on television instead and probably spend more money buying clothes and going to chain restaurants, as our society becomes more vacuous. Rugby league just isn't cool enough!

The original teenage girls from my day (when I was a teenage lad) will have grown up and possibly moved away from Bradford to further careers, or struggle with bringing up young families.

Whilst we've got proper cheap season ticket prices, it does concern me that its nearly 20 quid to go to a game now. My mates aren't fans, but take a passing interest, they'd rather watch football in the pub then stand out on the open terraces at Odsal. (Fools!)

Bradford Bulls over anything at the moment in terms of how I spend my weekend. Why spend so much money on clothes and stuff when I can just pick up some jeans (£10) t-shirt and jumper (£10) then spend my money on a season ticket rather do that than spend £60 on a Ralf Lauren t-shirt or whetever the hell it is.
