I think that with the GANSON AND HALIBUT SHOW THAT MAY JUST GIVE YOU THE EDGE.

I doubt it will give anyone the edge, we're just in for a match of crap decisions and dodgy penalties!

well the bulls fans seem to be fancying there chances this for this game!



was very impressed with the giants against castleford last week and think we are going to be a hard team to beat this year with good defence and much improved attack

giants by 10 for me

Hi new to your forum so please be gentle.

Been looking at the betting on this and on skybet there giving Bradford a 4 point start.

Ganson likes the Bulls, last season at your gaff he caned the Giants 13-5 in the penalty count

Yes, he does. He loves us.



Penalty count nothing to do with your defensive "technique" then obviously.

No sqeaky clean that night

Opportunity for the giants to put down a real marker this one.

Its on sky at home so if put in a good performance will get thet monkey off our back.

the Bulls fans are very confident looking at beating us by about 10, they have signed Orford who is a great signing, other than that some ok signings, the Giants went well last year lost a couple in Jackson, Fulton and hemmingway ect but brought better in Fa alogo, Gilmour, Drew ect.

The Giants last year were good in patches, Saints away in cup ect but this season need to take it to the next level if gonna challenge for cups ect. Need to have a flying start imo starting Friday night and then when come up against the so called big boys, take em on and don't be in awe of em.

Good season for the Giants this year IMO.

Based on the fact Hudds have only had one pre-season game I can't see it being anything other than close, so that might be a good bet.

We aren't all bad Adey!

Well, checking the weather for the next 5 days, I'd suggest dressing for rain on Friday night

Last time I tried to sit at the side at the Galpharm for a Bulls match we were ordered by the stewards to move behind the posts. Some Giants fans objected to us clapping (no more than that) a Bulls try. We in turn objected to their "Town full of p****" chant. They won.

No, indeed you are not. Sadly, too many of those who post on your forum =#FF0000are, and make visitors who come in peace but maybe discuss an inconvenient truth extremely unwelcome.

Who needs a roof? we've got by for years!

Sorry bit of an assumption on my part. I could sit in the stands with you guys but don't know the words to your 'Fartown' song

True.

Unfortunately.



I shall bang some heads together!

Just start singing a random Elvis song and stick "Fartown!" at the end of it. You'll fit right in

I see us as underdogs in Fridays match so a win would be a real plus.

I have been sat with fans of cas, wigan, and Wakey by the side of me and no one has said a dickie bird. I would asume that you were not in the Golf stand and that if the stewards asked you to move they were worried about something kicking off. I have never seen or heard of any non Giants fans being asked to move.

I can back this up, as I've sat in the side stands numerous times and never had owt from stewards except for a minor moan from me about where I was allowed to sit. (The steward was less than helpful as I tried to find a group of seats that didn't have "Season Ticket only" on them).

I have attended with Hudds fans and not had anything except some good natured banter. I've also attended with Bulls fans and not had any bother.

In fact last year I ended up chatting to Michael Lawrence's mum at the end of the match, who it turned out had been sat just in front of me throughout the game.


What I've tended to notice is that it tends to be the older fans that I've heard moaning about away fans being sat near them. Generally though I think you're just unlucky if you end up sat near some halfwit who doesn't understand this isn't football and our fans can actually get along just fine.

Its true that most of them were well over 40. My grouse wasnt with the majority of Giants fans as there were only about a dozen who were giving us stick. It was the way the stewards, some of whom could clearly hear the racist language, ignored the behaviour of those fans and simply ordered us out of the stand.

My point is that you can sit at the side at the Gapharm but, it appears, only if the home fans around you are prepared to tolerate you. They have effective right of veto.

I've been to quite a few Giants matches over the years, more often as a neutral rather than a Bulls supporter. Since they started opening up the end behind the posts there does seem to have been a growing intolerance of away supporters who prefer to sit at the side.

I sat at the side last year (due to getting some cheap tickets) and they were all fine with me standing and applauding when we scored, as well as shouting throughout the game. I was in a reasonably quiet area though (was fairly near the corner that would connect the side stand to the away end).

I think as you say, it just depends on who you get sat near, but that's the same at every ground.

Unfortunately I'd say the tolerating of home fans chanting in that way is also something I've seen at more grounds than I'd like. I've certainly heard it at Hull (which was the loudest, and right next to disinterested stewards) and at Wakefield (from people who also were ignored). Shame really as that's the sort of thing that helps to stop the game spreading.

Looking at the BBC weather on line it looks more like fog has become the main worry now.

It seems a bit strange that Giants' fans would object to away supporters going into the side stands at the Galpharm, they, after all, are the only set of visiting fans who largely use the pop terrace at the Grattan.

have to agree with DG in that i've never seen anyone asked to move by the stewards unless they are makin total pillocks out of themselves and winding ppl up, im not saying this never happens but i've never known it to happen, yes any away supporters sat on the kilner bank will get some banter thrown about but thats all it is unless your a leeds chav wanting to kick off in front of your mates

could have been the intolerables you came across were town fans? who have a pretty bad hatred of anything bradford

anyway im sure if you sat in the kilner bank 5 times you'd get no bother for the other 4 times
