We prefer to stand at the side to watch games, i hate watching rugby behind the posts and as far as i am aware there is no 'away end' at odsal and fans are allowed to stand anywhere in the ground !!

and i will continue to do so as most of our fans do ..

Get on everyone's tits?

I must agree there to be honest hate watching from behind the sticks, and we probs refer to it as the away end as its where every others teams fans stand,

I think in fact you are probably the only team that doesnt

apart from a few from hull kr too

same at Wakefield too....apart from this year majority of our fans always stand down the side, much prefer been at the side, thats why at Odsal we do because its also a high terrace and i cant imagine how bad that view behind the posts is.

So the good Friday game versus Salford is the benchmark




And how silly of the 'few of us' who attended the game against salford to put money into the bucket collections for the Bulls..


The shirt thing is disappointing. I was hoping for one with peter hood smiling as people fill his begging bowl or one showing the players receive partial payments or one showing your chairman and major shareholder swapping insults or the one where Hood continues to treat fans like mushrooms while they hand over their cash. Never mind.

I quite like it behind the posts, I try and stand there when I take the kids. The view is good and there's never normally too many fans there so the kids can run around a bit more.

It's often my preferred spot too tbh. 90% of my time at Odsal has been spent stood at the back of the Rooley Ave end next to the floodlight nearest the stand. There aren't many grounds where you get a reasonable view of the far goal line from behind the opposite posts.

There are plenty of grounds where you can't see the [inear[/i goalline from behind the sticks (Belle Vue and Headingley spring instantly to mind), never mind the [ifar[/i one.

Got to say I prefer watching from the side though, even if I do tend to go for the better atmosphere amongst the majority of our fans, behind the sticks, when we go away.

And after our recent trip to KR, you can Craven Park to that, but only because of the curvature of the Earth.

I watched the WCC from the corner between the South Stand & Western Terrace in the rain. I reckon I saw about 5% of the action.

It's the bane of the old fashioned terracing; stand at the front and, at best, you're somewhere near kneecap height with the players, stand further back and due to the small steps up the terrace (maybe 5 or 6 centimetres) and you can't see for people standing in front.

This wouldn't normally apply to my mate's brother, Alan, though; he plays (or did when younger) in the second row for one of the local Union teams and is of such a size that I think could look down on Karl Pryce and see if he has a bald patch. When he goes to matches he always stands right at the back so as to avoid complaints, so even he can't win!

You could always check up in the loft to see if you kept any of those platform shoes from the 1970s...?

Wasn't the story about such a lofty bloke going to Anfield, and there was a tap on the shoulder and a scouse voice saying
"Oy mate - next time you come, can yer bring yer own 'ole"

Without wishing to stereotype, the reply would be
"I did but someone stole it, la".

I was always more Cuban heels, to be honest but the principle is the same.....good advice!!

Peter Crouch he's moved on since then.

Just been told i have no work this weekend, so i'm in COYB

Still tanking it down, hope the pitch is like a swamp and slow them there fartown whippets down a bit

Awww so your talking about the figures reported. Which as we all know at odsal bears no resemblance whatsoever to the actual amount of people attending the game. I wish the number of people you were expecting were the only ones who turned up-and hence the only ones who put money in your begging bowl On Sunday-(tell me -how have you managed to get yourselves in such a financial mess with the millions of bulls supporters reported) would you swap your extra 2000 supporters for our position in the table I wonder.
Anyway I'll be there on Sunday since my son is involved in the curtain raiser-here's hoping the rain puts a lot of people off-we wouldn't want you to be disappointed.

Lets hope Ken Davy doesnt pull the plug or you will be borrowing our buckets!!

Could this be the last game for Bradford bulls at odsal on Sunday? Reading between the lines of the t&a article it didn't sound good in the slightest. Caisley is one sly individual

I've got my email from the club advertising this game, the opposition and the gameday experience. The T&A is running a piece about it as well. Now we're seeing something.

If she is ok, this will be the first match since the Bulls vs Wigan match that Little Miss Cookie has been well enough to attend. Stuart sorted out a wheelchair space for her at the back of the stand and she is really looking forward to it. This will be only the 2nd time this season that the whole of the Cookie clan have been able to get to a match!

ps: just found out that her treatment will probably involve a trip to where the Thunder play (the NBA team not Gateshead)!!!!

It would be great if, the first set Shudds are in possession, the fans all yelled out the tackle count for Uncle Albert, in French.

Addy, Ainscough, Bateman, Burgess, Diskin, Elima, Hargreaves, Jeffries, Kopczak, Langley, Lulia, Manuokafoa, Olbison, Platt, Pryce, Purtell, Walker, Whitehead.
