Bradford : Sat May 23, 2009 11:46 pm  

Is this the biggest fall from grace ever?

WCC Champs in 02, 04 and 06.

To getting beat by Celtic at Odsal and then getting beat by Salford at the Willows thus making them 13th out of 14 SL teams

A little smile occurs seeing them down there but could this be the beginning of the end for Bradford?

Surely it's the end of the end as they can't really go any further down? They're still a strong club and a bit of success on the field would see the crowds flocking back.

It's ALL Macnamara's fault as he hasn't rebuilt the squad well enough and it's laughable that he's still in the job. The rumours are that he's there only because they can't really fork out for the amounts needed to pay his compensation.

Last year there were 12 teams in the league - and now Bradford are 13th.

Haw haw haw!

I'll get it out of the way before any trolls do...

And yet they beat us at our place.

It certainly shows how quickly fortunes can change thats for sure.

The fact the managed to beat us and Leeds and draw against Hull KR shows that they must have the capability but for some reason they aren't able to do that every week which must be frustrating/annoying for their fans.

Things certainly aren't looking good for them at the moment and as you say it is slightly amusing as an opposition fan but surely this must be a case of "the only way is up"? Although i'm not sure how far up they will manage to get without a change of coach.

Their fall from grace all started with their signing of iestyn harris imo,all their top stars have subsequentently left due to their being no more money left in the pot for contract upgrades!
Good signing agent caisley

Like saintc says,Bradford are a bunch of traffic cones..

Long injuries to morrison, solomona, godwin, crookes doesnt help.

also for weeks deacon, nero and lynch were injured..

swap puletua for morrison, wilkin for solomona, roby for godwin, gilmour for crookes, long for deacon, graham for lynch and gidley for nero and you lot would be struggling as well.

I reckon you'd be higher up the table if you picked 17 traffic cones each week
