Bradford next. : Sat May 04, 2024 9:04 am  

Looking forward to this one, I know we can do this - come on Trim !
DP knows the ground/pitch, he says its a tight pitch, anyone that's been to Bradford many times knows the corners in goal Ares are quirky, they rise up high & catch teams out when kicked causing ball bobble roll back & predictable bounce but only to those that play it regularly, so here we go here we go, up the Trin !!!

Looking forward to going to the ground that is comparable to what ours was. Not been to Odsal for a while should be a good following and a good crowd hopefully. All we need then is a good game hopefully topped off with a Trinity win.

Been a few times over last couple of seasons for academy and reserves it really is a dump but i hope fans travel in numbers surley we can push it to 2k as bradford will have numbers ..cant make it myself but will be setting my alarm for 7am to listen or watch the x feed then hopefully i can rest of the day walking round celebrating a wembley trip.think this will find thus harder than last night but its certainly a game that can be won

I agree. I think Bradford will be very much up for this.
We need to match their enthusiasm.
Fev showed us what happens when we don't.
But I think we'll win after tough early exchanges.

With the greatest of respect to both York and Sheffield, in terms of buns on seats at Wembley, this would've been the best final.

Fascinating to see how Bradford react after last week's defeat when they appeared to put the cue on the rack too early. Will they come out and bare their teeth or will they go into their shells especially if they find themselves behind early? Can they sort out their on field discipline ? In far too many games this has let them down

Swinton are a tough side to beat at home and will push the Bulls very hard. Tough one to call but I will go for a home win

Can't go to the game, hoping for it being streamed

Re: Bradford next. : Sun May 05, 2024 4:49 pm  

Bradford run out easy winners against Swinton 12-38. Sets things up nicely for next week. Seems unlikely to be streamed anywhere which is a great shame, the 1895 Cup is the RFL's baby, but the lack of television coverage feels like a missed opportunity to showcase the quality of the Championship to a wider audience.

Unless the schedule changes it doesn't look like BBC Radio Leeds are going to cover it either (BBC Radio York are covering the Knights v Eagles)
Why can't the RFL get one or preferably both games on either the Sportsman or their own platform Our League (even if they make it pay to view)
Wonder if the plan was for it to have been broadcast on Premier Sports if their deal had been accepted ?
Still means the RFL have had plenty of time to make alternative arrangements

Maybe the Sportsman might pick it up.

If we do make it past Bradfud it's gonna be strange down at Wembley doing the usual Spot the Wakey Shirt activity. Typically only see about half a dozen or so, not counting our group's.

Got our tickets on Saturday morning from the Trinity shop and Daz was saying we've sold well over a thousand and should be nearer two thousand by Sunday .
