Who are you; where are you from and how long have you supported your club?
Richard Williams, from Bradford (Born and raised), and I have supported the bantams since 1986, but first got to see them in 1987.

What was your first game?
It's a bit hazy as if was when I was about 7 years old but I beleive it was a Nil-Nil draw with Barnsley in 1987.

Describe the most memorable and worst game you've seen and why?
Memorable, Wolves 2 - 3 Bradford, and winning promotion to the premiership. Worst, Leeds 6 - 1 Bradford, it doesn't get much worse than being tonked by the team you dislike the most and having two of your own players fighting among themselves.

Who do you consider as your current local rivals, and why?
Huddersfield Town, recent history (the Gordon Watson trial) and they are the only other club from West Yorkshire in our league.

Who are the best and worst players you have seen?
Best, Stuart McCall, if you looked in the dictionary for the word inspirational there would be a picture of stuart!

Worst, to many to call but of the top of my head Jorge Cadete, shocking is the kindest I can description I can give this one.

How did you fare last season?
Better than expected, we beat all the yorkshire sides at least once and finished a comfortable mid table.

How do you think you'll finish up this season?
I beleive we will finish as Runners up, if not the play-offs at least.


If Bradford were a TV personality, who would it be and why?
Derek Trotter, Makes the best of a small budget, hit the big time but has found themselves back where they started.

So what do you think of The Millers?
I don't dislike them but as a Yorkshire club I love to see us get one over on them.




Which current or former Rotherham player impressed you most?
Not player but Manager, Ronnie Moore, he is disliked by many Bradford fans but you have to give him credit for the way he turned Rotherham round in the later 90's early 00's.

Is your manager barking mad?
He has his qualities but I wouldn't describe him as mad.

Are you happy with your Chairman/Backroom staff?
Very happy, Julian Rhodes put everything on the line to save this club.

Do you think you will ever get back in the premiership??
Never say Never.

Which team do you want to beat the most this season and why?

A strong attacking line up which will create alot of chances.

Strongest - Mark Bridge-Wilkinson, Weakest - Darren Holloway
