Good to see Naylor back, should get a good reception. And I thought a thread would be useful to point out that Kick off is 2pm and tickets are only £10 and £5, which is a great deal for a game we might win!! (might not see too many wins more before June so get to Odsal on Sunday!!)

Any idea how come it's 2pm?

From what I read online, the BBC had their slot for the TV game, and the RFL wanted all the other games to finish before the TV game so the draw could be made straight after.

Its a cunning trick to make me miss the first hour of the match as I'll clearly forget on Sunday...

It's because the clocks have gone forward.

I like the coincidence that Bradford play Oldham at home and Bradford play Oldham at home.

Sounds logical, I mean it's not as though they can make a draw containing a line like, " Saints V Bradford or Oldham", or something like that....

The press releases talks about tickets for the stand. Does this mean they are thinking of only opening parts of the ground or am I reading too much into it?

I think they will only open the stand. There is not going to be a massive crowd for this one. They did the same the last time we got a home draw at this stage of the cup.

In 1896.

I've been attending Bradford games for roughly 25 years and sat in the stand three times. It feels weird.

But I suppose there will be plenty of you in reverse.

Is the televised game Hudds v Saints?

Yes

Donaldson and Kearney to be rested. I'd like to see Bates given a start and introduce Fakir and Ferguson later in the game to dust off some cobwebs.

Exactly what i would go with, although may start Walker a head of Bates. Donn made 45 tackles against Widnes and did not miss one, need to make sure we don't burn players out, it's a long season and i think a week off will do Kearney some good after missing pre season.

Has there ever been a team with so many "kear"s?

Kearney

Kear

Fakir

It seems to me no accident. It's kear there is some strategy going on here. As long as we don't sign any donkears, or appoint John Kear, I'll reserve judgment though.

There's nowt so kear as folk.

Looking forward to the game , will be good to see ferguson get some game time and a few of the young lads get a run out. Hopefully will get most of the season tickets holders in and get the atmosphere back in the ground

What about Manuofakear

Adam Henry needs to up his game IMO. Too many missed tackles so far this season, he's up there with Addy and Donaldson.

I too would probably rest Kearney and Donaldson, however there has to be no doubt that the returnees are fully fit. Take no chances in the long run.

Would be nice to rest Donno for a week but dont want to rush ferguson back In to the team if not 100%

Thanks for going easy on us lol

, hoping for a decent showing from our young team, quite a few coming over from Oldham i think, should be good fun. See you all Sunday

Anyone who puts in as many tackles as Donno is entitled to miss a couple..what was it last week, 44 tackles and no misses?

Doesn't look like Mellor or bates will be getting a game. Both played for 19's in win over wakey this aft.

Well, I've seen academy lads play half a game, an hour before the first team game and [istill[/i get selected, so, assuming they didn't suffer any injury, I guess they're still in with a chance.
