I was going to moan about paying £18 at Huddersfield the other week but when I checked our prices we charge away fans £20, but you get a seat and a roof for that.

£17 to stand on a crumbling bit of concrete is a total rip off. And even though they must have been expecting large numbers of fans today, half the turnstiles at our end were shut, meaning people were queuing outside at ten to 3.

Poor but we won and don't have to go there again this year

Cant say my experience was bad:

Got a 17 quid ticket for 10 of the guy on the gates outside, Stood having some banter with a couple of bradford fans all of us admitting bradford was $hiet and then watched abit of the under 21's got away from the ground fine and everything and most of all, GOT THE WIN

I'd like to sit in a seat, under a roof within decent viewing distance of the pitch. The bloke next to me had brought binoculars!

I can't see why the Bradford pitch has to be so far away from the stands. How long is it since there was speedway there?

No need for the distance or the upturned corners these days. Is there a plan to upgrade the whole place - or is that what the £17 goes towards?

OSV will hopefully be given the go ahead in the next couple of months.

Think there's a proposed ground share between the Bulls and the Bradford soccer team? http://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/sport/Bradford-look-at-leaving-Valley.4972358.jp Can't come soon enough for my poor eyes, though shame if another old ground makes an exit.

Good. TBF you deserve better than that old place. It's well past it's sell by date.

In fairness it's £20 for adults at Headingley this season, so £17 seems a bargain to me.

BTW the boys looked awesome today, so many options on attack, they look like scoring everytime they got in the 20. What an improvement on last year.
