BLIND, STUPID AND DESPERATE
 
01/02: Preview: Bradford City
Opposition opinion
by Jurgen the German Porn Star, Bradford's Away section Head Steward

What happened last season?
Disappointing, due to too many bad performances.

What's going to happen next season?
Hopefully better but having said that it can't get any worse. Possible top six place, but I don't think we will go straight back up.

Can you recommend a pub for away fans?
The Bradford Arms on Manningham lane (approximately 5 minutes walk away).

What's the nearest railway station?
Bradford Interchange (in town centre, approximately 15 minutes walk away). Most people will point you in the right direction.

Where is the best place to park?
Probably on Canal Road below the ground but the parking is a real problem.

Soundbites (from assorted Census correspondents)
"In trying to form an idea as to the type of people supporting Division One clubs I feel the need to point out that, although we are known to have picked the two worst colours our good lord created for our kit, we are not all completely devoid of style and panache(!) up here as is widely held.  I must point out however, in defence of these opinionated people, I saw a teenage boy wearing smart black shoes, white socks, shell suit trousers, a city top and a blue blazer walking stylishly into the ground last season. I thought 'That's my boy'."

"Matt Clarke may have been (Bradford's best ever) keeper if he'd have stuck around and not got ideas above his station."

"Jeffries will never take us back to the promised land."

"If he stays, watch Beni tear the First Division to pieces."

"Summer sucks because there is no snow or football."

"I am the head steward in the away section of the ground at Valley Parade, and have fond memories of the songs you boys sang at me three seasons ago in the rain - "rabbit on his head", "he's a german porn star", etc. Hope to see you all this season, all the best this term from all at BCFC."

"Looking forward to a great season back with real football supporters."

"The new ITV digital deal is a pain is the arse already! Thursday and Sunday evening football? What a bloody joke."

"Elvis is alive and well as he was dancing in the stand at Coventry on the last game of the season."

"Thanks to the Nationwide for selling the fans out so that nobody can watch the matches on Sky anymore, the only way some people can get to see the matches."

"City, injuries permitting, have the first choice eleven to easily finish runners up next year."
