Bradford fans looking forward to playing Newcastle United.
Especially having watched their team go top of League One at the weekend
Bradford fans commenting via their Bantam Talk message board:
‘Up to this time last year I thought Liverpool was the best English City up until I worked in Newcastle, a brilliant amazing City with great friendly people.
All the pubs spot on as well’
‘Spent a lot of time up there with work in the 2010s, as you say really good place, great nightlife ,and real friendly people, enjoyed my time there.’
‘Those of you who got tickets, you are very lucky. Enjoy the night and sing your hearts out for the lads.’
‘Great if team is unchanged but i see 1 or 2. 3 games in a week and with our current injury list…
We changed it up for Blackburn and Stoke. GA is the tinker man.
Whats more important Newcastle or Blackpool…hard to call now!!!’
‘I would imagine they will sell out the home end? If so we are looking at a good £250K don’t you think from this game?’
‘Maybe not that much, but Bromley cleared £100k when they played in the FA cup there last year.’
‘52000 @ £15 is £780,000
Take off £100,000 for running costs
45% of the £680 is £306,000
With gate receipts and prize money so far we can’t be far of £400,000
If the run comes to and end, which it probably will
Then it’s a good result for the club, especially with injuries starting to mount up
Enjoy the evening and give a good account of ourselves’
‘Squad players please…L1 is the real deal from now on.’
‘It’s only a cup etc.’
‘Cash in the bank for January defensive reinforcements!’
‘I guess Newcastle will try rotate pretty much everyone with them playing Arsenal after us.’
‘Who do we think we’ll get in round four…?’
‘Eddie Howe clearly terrified ahead of Wednesday so rested his big players. Newcastle made 7 changes against Bournemouth from the team that played against Barca on Thursday.’
‘Watched the Bournemouth/Newcastle game and like watching paint dry absolute garbage for Premiership football.’
‘They’ve got a tough 10 or so days with a must win game against us to avoid humiliation of being the holders and getting knocked out at their first round to a league 1 side then Arsenal at home a week today followed by an away game at Union Saint Gilloise which they really need to win or the Champions League starts to get very awkward. They’ve had a disastrous summer with transfers and to highlight it more they are really struggling for goals.’
‘it should be a cracking night, the sort of night that football fans dream of. All I ask is that the fellas acquit themselves well. A 3-1 City win will do.’
‘I reckon they play some big guns and hope to be 2-0/3-0 up with an hour in and rest most after that.
They took the cups seriously last year and played strong 11s, but they also had no Europe to think about. Where as this year they have CL games every other week for the next few months.’
‘The other half’s side of the family all support Newcastle so could really do with a miracle on Wednesday please lads!’
‘Lost every match in Newcastle since 1922, 10 games. Time to change that.’
‘Love part of the statement about visiting fans going to Newcastle on the clubs website;
“We would like to remind supporters it is a criminal offence to enter the pitch at any time. Anyone who does so without permission can expect to face prosecution”
Aye, and a couple of broken legs after the 100 foot drop I’d imagine.’
