Bradford v Grimsby Preview

The Opposition

Though hard to imagine the once Premiership outfit now sit on the bottom tier with the biggest attendances and an amazing number of season ticket holders thanks to their well publicised season ticket prices. On the field Bradford aren't exactly setting the world alight like many teams who find themselves down here, ourselves included, the culture shock of League Two immediately dismisses our arrogance and false sense of grandeur. The build up to any season in a lower league has most fans believing in some way at least that this league will be a walk in the park that we have a chance of breaking our club records of points totals, consecutive wins etc. Like Bradford though we find ourselves struggling to come to terms with what we are witnessing: mid-table obscurity against teams we didn't really know much about only a few years ago. Now we find ourselves been bullied and played off the park by them and having to rebuild for another year. As always we find ourselves worrying as the season comes to a close that our brightest shoots will be picked and cultivated elsewhere and we find ourselves yet again being introduced to a bunch of new journeymen just doing their day to day job with not much care but for their next pay cheque. Alas it’s what both us and Bradford have to come to terms with and for any Bradford fan reading this it’s been four very long years and I know I still don't believe what a mess we've found ourselves in.

Town have only taken 2 points from the last 7 games against Bradford and not done much better before that, although they had a good record against City in the 70s.
