I see the pointless, constant and un-warrented whinging & moaning doesn't just stay on the terraces at Odsal.

You must have been wondering what it was like to be in a stadium where we're not shouting for a forward pass every 2 passes though. Must be weird for you lot

Shouting or noise at the JJB/DW?

I wish.

When does it become the DW Stadium?

I remember hearing it was happening but can't remember the date. Have it in the back of my mind it's fairly soon though.

As I remember the majority of the Bradford crowd were shouting forward and offside every two passes, even when it was blatantly not. It gets really annoying TBH. Bradfords loss (and season) has nothing to do with the referee, it's to do with the fact they only played to their potential for about 20 minutes.

People like to transfer their frustrations onto the officials.

Offside is something people tend to shout a lot when they don't know what else to shout. That's at every ground and I think I've learned to tune that out now.

Can't say I heard too many shouts for forward passes, although there did seem more in yesterday's game than is the norm.

Easily the worst place I've heard for constant shouting to the referee is Craven Park. Was bad last week, but absolutely terrible a couple of years ago, to the point where I nearly left early as it was winding me up.

Wigan quite a few years ago was the first time I heard it so bad that our fans started mocking them by shouting it for every pass too, then the Wigan fans joined in to much hilarity.

And you claim that 2 of our tries were forward passes? Hmm...

I'm pretty sure it's the 1st August but much of the rebranding has started on the stadium already....



Instead of ''JJB'' the seats in the North and South stand now have 'DW' and the East Stand has replaced ''JJB'' with ''WIGAN''

The DW logos looking shockingly cheap and basic.

Forgive me if I'm sounding thick but is it "DW" after Dave Whelan?

If so you have my condolences.
