I hate visiting Bradford, ****hole of a city, ****ish coppers and the least friendly ''locals'' ............. come on you Shakers!
Only previous FA Cup meeting vs Bradford... 1988/89 Bradford City 1-2 Hull City We have never faced Bury in this comp..
Deano was once arrested for soliciting a prostitute down Manningham Lane in Bradford. Deano spent the night in Bradford central police station before being released after he paid the desk sergeant off with a couple of tickets to watch Menston FC which is near Otley.(Allegedly)
Well it's definitely a chance to get into the 5th round, but given what Bradford did at Chelsea last season no complacency. I remember last time we played them in the FA cup. A mate got the tickets but it was only when we got in the car that he told me it was in the home end. One of more awkward supporting experiences, but at least when we were winning we could agree with those around us that Bradford were ****. I can't remember any time playing Bury in the cup.
Good draw, not bothered who we get. Ive always enjoyed Bradford away days, only been to Bury once, think we got beat.
That Whitehurst piledriver after about a minute. We nearly played Bradford in the cup about 20 years ago too – we had to beat Runcorn, and did (I was there and actually saw Chris Hargreaves score), but they ****ed up their replay against Chester. Think we were promised a slot on MOTD too if they had got through which, at the time, was very appealing as we were both exposure and cash starved. We inevitably missed out on a R3 appearance after also losing to Chester.
Very good draw as winnable and keeps the "lesser" players happy with game time, plus the chance of either a good run or a big team later.
