    Shut up Gus, you are sounding like an idiot, stick to coaching for everyone's sake, including your own.

    Just nipped onto sky and they are saying the same as the daily mail so not sure now - mind the Bradford Manager is playing hell about their pitch saying that when the players turn the ground is giving way - get the treatment table ready lol

    Gus is pissing me off but don't see what he's done wrong. It's universally acknowledged about the state of the pitch.

    'Three months ago after we played Gillingham I told the directors that the pitch is giving way when they're turning and I asked if they could do everything they could to make the pitch better,' he said.

    'I think at the time they thought I was making excuses because the home form was poor but I don't make excuses. Nothing was done, no help was given to the groundsman and now he's the one with all the stress of us playing on probably the worst pitch I've ever seen.'- Parkinson

    I don't want our players getting injured myself, nor do I want this match postponing, condensing our schedule with a potential replay to include too. How many of you who's treating Gus like this here will put your hands up if Defoe does his ankle and we lose him for the season because of dodgy pitch?

    We don't need any long lay offs to big players if we're to keep improving. Scared ****less of this pitch like me. The thing that pisses me off is had it been announced for tv, Bradford could have spent on a re laying the pitch knowing they were coming into money, but they're skint, pitch is ****ed, and no chance of sorting it. they've got MK Dons to come before us. If the weather doesn't pick up our tie is ****ed.

    When you put it like that, how much does it cost to relay a new pitch like?

    Having a quick swat up

    Average 300k. Club like Bradford would be looking to pay around 80-100k for a complete relay.

    Match is 15quid a ticket. Attendance money being shared and match day costs could knock it down a quite a bit. Plus I bet the chairmen would still say paying the bills is a bigger priority. that 240k that will barely register on some premier league accounts, would have helped Bradford out a treat.

    Don`t know about that mind. The Bradford boss is agreeing with him.
