I'm too young (just) to remember that, but it doesn't alter the fact. So a 'new' Bradford club wouldn't be the first time.
Perhaps so, but all of us below the age of 52 (and most just above it) won't remember the previous entity anyway, so the club we've supported all our lives is the current one. The fact the current one is a phoenix club is irrelevant really, it's just like saying we have no emotional attachment to the pre-1964 Bradford Northern too.
I can understand both sides of the Phoenix club support debate tbh. I'm not sure how I'll feel until (if) it happens, but I can't see me feeling the same about a new club as I do about this one, even if the name and the stadium are the same.
