Bradford Home - 1st Leg Saturday 9th May

[desperado]

Same process as before - you can secure your own seats.

Need to put yesterday’s disappointment behind us and fill the place.

Let’s take a good lead over to Bradford.

On the piss in the afternoon prior to an 8pm kick-off on a Saturday, should make it a belting atmosphere under the lights.

COYFWM 👏

Hoping we just give em the upper tier to match the 2000 we will be given at their place.

100%. No way do we give them anything other than the upper tier. Even if some of the bottom tier remains unsold.

Then all the Wigan fans can ridicule us for not selling out.

We should be giving any unsold SSL tickets to local schools and businesses

Some of theirs seem to think we'll be given a bit more than 2k

I don't know why we'd bother worrying what they think

Crikey does this actually go through anyone’s thought process what Wigan fans think?

Not bothered on the attendance as it’s a bit overhyped anyway and has made no difference to Stevenage, Lincoln and Stockport this season.

Would think it has to  be a fiver to sell out a 3rd Division match thats live on tele.

The support has been good though so i would  expect 22,000 ish Bolton sales plus the 2,000 Bradford

We had about 22,500 home fans yesterday. Think we can shift the lower south stand similar to Barnsley game. 

Actually looking forward to it being 8pm on Saturday night, under the lights, it's going to be bouncing.

COYWM.

3rd time lucky, it needs to be our time now!

[gonzo]

It won't be far off being full imo.

Yes!

That's the spirit. Nothing to fear from Bradford.
Let's fill the place and get them beat.

[Whitestar]

A lot of people will have been drinking since dinnertime, there could be some absolute states there by kick off.

Have we ever had a Saturday evening home game (at the bok)? Struggling to think of when it could have been

None spring to mind. Starting the season with the dullest atmosphere of all time at 12pm on a Sunday and finishing with the drunkest crowd of all time at 8pm on a Saturday 😅

[Jol_BWFC]

Saturday night means the kids aren’t in school the next day, which will help. Last home game of the season. Massive match. £20 a decent adult price and £5 for kids is great. We should be selling out.

I’m planning to travel up from London with my 9 year old.

Something to do with Rugby.

If that’s the case I know a few who won’t know whether it’s 0-0 1-0 or 0-1 and have to be taken home by the scenic route so they can sober up 😎😎

had a few 5.30 kick offs for Sky back in the premier league days. Anelkas maiden goals for us againt the Arse were the late kick off. Don't know if they count.

[Burndens Bogs]

All out attack from the off, get an early goal then 5-0 the Yerkshire tvvats.

[barrycowdrill]

2051 we’ve given them.. 

[Didledee]

My worry is our defence, we need something substantial for them to try and hold onto going into the 2nd leg, whilst we could have scored more than 2 ourselves and have scored 12 in our last 4 home games, Luton scored three, missed a penalty, had other moments and hit the woodwork three times and that was with Forino doing some great defensive stuff and some fist pumping etc, that back 4 cannot along with the keeper be in place next season regardless of league.

Many ways of looking at this match, we know we can beat them, we played well at theirs just last week, but they'll feel they're due a goal at least given the two 0's they've already had.

Needs 2+ lead,  there is zero trust in us defensively ..

.. also in the last playoffs it felt amazing after we beat Barnsley 3-1 away, then went 5-2 up and almost let it slip, it felt great getting Oxford instead of Peterborough, but we didn't even have a shot on target at Wembley, so if we win well in this 1st leg I won't be getting carried away and if we do get through and it's Stevenage, I won't be allowing my thoughts to think we are favourites, that Wembley loss and along with England's two final losses, it took a couple of days for that guttedness to go, but still plays on my mind now and then.

if we fail here, we certainly have no chance of seeing Duberry again (if we have anyway with promotion) and Kenny and we'll need to improve because we've ended up way off the top 2 in the end, too many draws and we'd not even be close to the playoffs without all the heroic very late comebacks.
