At least we've had our time, you've never had "your time" and you never will. You are still a low-level SL club, this was our second match of the season after yet another week off, at the end of the season look who's higher in the table and then tell us our time's up. At least our club doesn't have to offer dirt cheap tickets to the fans because they don't have any faith. I'd rather watch us getting beat by a "poor hudds' team" (although it's probably your best team of the SL era) amongst fellow loyal Bradford supporters than watch your team amongst a set of fairweather supporters who only come to moan about the grounds rather than the rugby.


Got a crystal ball have we? You dont know we wont have "our time".

A low level club eh...4 wins against you since 2007 when you are "according to your fans" a much better club than us suggests the tide may well be turning! You are right, the season is won at the end of the season not at the start but I for one am pleased that we have made a good start to the season and if we continue to get better then who knows what could happen! The Bulls have started bad before and come good at the end.

As for your "loyal Bradford Supporters" - were these the same ones that were walking for the exits minutes before the end when the super Bulls were still only 4 points down and in years gone by could have scored two converted tries??

It hurts to lose but thats part of the game. Huddersfield have had their fair share of losing in years gone by but as a result we appreciate the winning more.

The salary cap is at last working for teams like Huddersfield and has made the game a more level playing field. Get used to losing on occasion because its going to happen to all the teams during the season..the fabulous "top four" will no longer rule the roost.

Finally, giving away cheap tickets - all teams do it - dont care what you say! You can walk into numerous clubs in Bradford and buy them cheap off folks who were given them complimentary. Tickets are given away to kids and folks all the time. Bulls do it, we do it, dont know of a club that doesnt. Its the way it is. Make the most of your crowds as they are now because if they continue to dwindle and things dont come good for you guys this year then they will fall even further.

Only stating a fact. If you can't take losing you shouldn't be a mod. :DOH:

81 defeats in 99 games is more than a fair share, it's plain greedy.

Firstly, as long as clubs like Leeds, Wigan and Saints have money to throw away I do know that you won't have your time. Secondly, I saw quite a few Hudds' fans leaving early even though you were winning! Seems that they were more bothered about getting out of the car park than seeing their team round off a solid win against a side they havent beaten in a league away match in 40 years! Also, I for one am also glad that the "top four" will no longer roost and I am glad that it is starting to look more like the NRL in some respects because every year it's getting harder to predict where each club will finish. Oh, and, btw us Bradford fans are already used to losing by now, we don't need to get used to it.

Just for the record, since at least one poster appears not to realise there was RL before 1995, but Huddersfield had a time at the top, and were once the very best, until SL came along they were the only team to rival Wigan in terms of success, but every thing is cyclical, Hudds dropped, just as Wigan did and just as Bradford are, perhaps we are on our way back up to the top, perhaps we are going to imitate Warrington, but the simple fact is, Bradford arent there any more, and you were beaten by the better side last night, the more patient side that defended its heart out and when it got a chance, took it with both hands (lessons learned from last week)

I totally agree with that bit (unfortunately), and I do know of Huddersfield's past successes, but all I am saying is that whilst the likes of Leeds, Saints, Wigan etc. have the money then clubs like our 2 aren't going to cut it anymore.
