Barrow busted my coupon and fair play to them. 

 

Well played

[tec]

Great result for Barrow with 5 players out we still  got the win. Even if Neutralfan7 is not happy

Neutralfan your a pain in the backside on the Town forum and now you are starting on here as well...anyway, Cresswell was injured as well..Miloudi played full back and we had 2 injured players on the bench

I said it was a great win? I only asked who was missing and only got 4 names mentioned and when you look at the Barrow squad the players were brought in are more than good enough cover... Where have I started? Calm down Karen

Is it right that this was Barrow's first win away at Bradford since 1963?

[The Blues Ox]

Surprised at this one. Huge game for Bradford next week against Fax but at the moment you can see them missing out on the top 6 in place of Barrow.

Correct!

[JonM]

It was the year that Bradford went bust and had their results removed from the second division table, I believe. Crowd of just over 300 back then.

Fair play to Barrow.  Sad to see for Bulls but we are just one of many clubs now and every year another club commercially overtakes us.  

Kear till end of season then see who fancies it with a different brand of rugby. 

It usually all goes back to not been able to afford to play at Odsal, Im not sure how much the stock cars contribute but I don't see how Bradford can move forward in that stadium.

Bradford have gone bust twice since then.

And heavily supported & financially bailed out by the RFL a number of times too....

Shocking attendance from Bradford as well on Friday. I read on their site it was recorded as 5.2k which you can only assume includes all kids season tickets given out because there was never even 2k in the ground and thats with cheap ticket offers as well. That won't be paying the bills for the squad they have in all likelyhood.
