What positive sounds have come out of the council? Its tragic.

The problem is we have no clue what you're talking about. I am presuming that your "argument" does not take yesterday's gate as THE benchmark Bradford gate from now on, for all time; I am presuming you know we've never played Celtic at home before. So what "much of a fall" is it that you want to know is "normal"?

Or are you just making it up as you troll along?

I'd compare a Celtic gate to a Catalans or Harlequins gate - the ones where you generally get a sense of what your base home support is. I can never recall Bradford having such a low figure in these games in recent years (feel free to correct me on that, not that you'll need the invitation...)

I thought 7,600 was very poor, and although I accept that weather, form, economic climate etc. probably played a part, I would have thought that a side that has consistently been placed in the top 5 since God knows when would still draw more.

But in real terms what does it bring to your everyday fan.

No need to spend vast amounts on crumbling ground, increased cash for marketing, PR, player recruitment etc etc.
