bradford game : Sun Jan 15, 2017 11:25 am  

Think we've all been watching events at odsal but now it's confirmed they will fulfill fixtures they are first up for us.good set of fans and will be made welcome I'm sure.not sure how they will line up as still bit of mystery in what is going on behind scenes but looks a little similar to hull city at start of footy season.down to 13 players and turn the champions over first game. In theory we will be professional and win but there will be a lot of emotion for the team and fans of bradford.looking forward to it but would be typical rovers to drop a bollock

Which bit? Possibility of us screwing up the first game or the game not actually going ahead?

The game or the loss? Nb Just seen Gallenteer beat me to it

Were a team who are now coached properly decent players that look fitter and actually want to play for the club against a team that doesn't actually exist yet that will have two weeks tops to prepare if we don't win easily I would be astonished

Let's not get all misty eyed about it. They are a rival ream, if we are 40 in front after 30 mins I would expect to plough them unto the ground and post 80.

You'll get an easy win with barely any away support there. Less income for you in what would normally be your biggest crowd in this league.

You'll bring at least 500.

When the new RFL "screened and approved" new owners unveil their aspirations and 3 year plans followed by a battle cry in the coming days, I'll bet they will tap into a surge of new Bradford Phoenix backs to the wall sentiment.

Human nature and a desire to get behind Rugby League in Bradford will then do the rest.

The clock is rapidly ticking down for Bradford to pull any team together let alone a competitive one. They will have to hope their new owner has deep pockets as their only realistic option at this late stage is to look to SL clubs for loan players. I really hope Bradford can raise a side and that their
Fans do come along, as I'm sure those who do make the trip will be well received by all the Rovers fans in attendance

A lot will depend on how our squad is looking when this game is imminent. Right now there isn't one, and even if we sign those left from the old club it's still a shambles.
Who the f*ck do we sign from here? There's literally nobody left. We'll be full of kids and journeymen - who wants to pay £20 and travel 120 miles to watch their team get battered?
