Thanks for that. Will have to be content listening to that then!!!

Surely there will be a largish crowd or what reason would they have for opening both stands??

Just been to the cashpoint to draw out the cash to buy PP a few beers. Anything under 7,000 and I supply 1 pint per 1,000 rounded up/down......so, I believe it will cost me about £6,40......
5,000 is a good figure for a friendly....and an OPPORTUNITY to get some people back next week for Wigan.

anyway...more importantly

....Oh, Luke Dorn is a poacher,
he wears a poachers hat,
and when he sees the try-line
he says "I fancy that"
COME ON YOU QUINS!

Bradford will have every right to feel aggrieved if 3000 show up for this game. If this fixture doesn't give the club's profile a boost in the capital, what possible justification is there for disrupting the Super League fixture list?

To make the WCC match a more even contest by giving the away team a preparatory match in similar conditions.

As far as I'm concerned the Superleague fixture list hasn't been disrupted by this match, it's been disrupted by the weather. I'm happy we're playing this match regardless of whether 3,000 or 10,000 turn up and I couldn't care less what anyone from Bradford thinks. Since when did they ever care about our club?

PoD, the simple fact is that the Bulls game would have been played today if you weren't taking on Manly in a friendly.

The previous two WCCs saw the Aussie side play National League opposition with the European game's flagship competition uninterrupted.

Why should the Bulls give a flying ---- about Quinze?

Leeds opponents next week could say the same, as could Wigans opponents later in the season when they get there pitch grassed.

Just accept its gone.

Newsflash: The Wigan-Wakefield and Leeds-Celtic games were played!

So...what was the attendance?
Was it a sell out?

I don't know what the attendance was, I'd say the LV and Etihad stands were both 2/3's full, so work it out from that

I know I'm gutted, 14-0 up after 15 minutes, 20-0 up at half-time, then lose 26-34. That last fifteen minutes or so was such a come-down from the excitement of the first half. At one point I thought Purdham's two missed conversions (easy ones) might have mattered, but the gap was obviously larger than that

attendence was said to be 6032.
iirc.
