Wintry showers including the possibility of snow forecast for tonight's game. Could well end up a tight, low-scoring affair.

Will have to wait and see forecast on my phone says 20% chance of rain about 5 o’clock 

[The Mighty Trin]

Our good friends to win by 40+ up the Rovers!!

  Think we will score 30+ so it is how well we defend.I think we will be well up for this one and will win by 16+ points.

[bigbaldnmad]

Looking forward to this... hope its a good atmosphere....

C'mon Fev

[The Blues Ox]

Neck on the line time, for me Bradford could have showers, snow, bonuses, Paul Daniels, all in their favor but they aint getting close to Fev in this game. The only situation I see Bradford getting near is if Fev rise to the bait and get a man sent off early doors but even then I think Fev probably still sneak it.

[LeytherRob]

Can't see past Fev by at least 18 points by hoping Bradford can prove some people wrong, if only to spark some life back in the race for top spot.

Well if we go by the second game of last season at POR against Leigh in atrocious conditions in which Fev probably played better than any other game last year Fev should win easier than Ì already expect them to do.

It doesn't look like the rain/snow is going to amount to much now anyway, but in any case that was a different game with a different team under a different coach.

Yes it is a different game and Bradford are not better than Leigh were at this time last year and this year you have a better team, and a better coach Phantom,  easy victory - he says.

Still, I see that Mick Gledhill has stated after the Toulouse game "if Bradford play like that, they'll beat Featherstone, end of story", so I guess it doesn't really matter how Fev play on Monday night.

He sent me a voice message this morning asking if I was going over for the game and that Bradford will lose by 30/40 more than likely.

So perhaps his confidence has waned a little.

[Phil]

I want them both to lose, however I’ll say Fev by 22 

[PEANUT HEAD]

When are they going to turn the floodlights on.

[ATLANTISMAN]

Is it my TV or the lack of floodlights looks awfully dark there:(

If anyone wants a laugh, tune in to Mick Gledhill's commentary - there wasn't enough room for him on the press gantry because of via-play and Fev's own commentary people.

He's stood at the back of a stand amongst Rovers' fans struggling to be heard and complaining that they'll have to improve the press facilities if they go up!

Fev by 26

Bulls on paper have a better team although Rovers have a great coach

 

Bulls by 2 to 6

[Expatknight]

14 - 8 to Fev at half time, all to play for.

[Segovia Carpet]

Nice to see referee Harold Steptoe make a comeback tonight.   

[gazza77]

Does a lack of posts on this thread this evening suggest that viaplay aren't getting much by the way of viewers? How representative is the forum in terms of assessing interest in a game?

Sneaky tactics by Fev , that's why they wear those pit helmets when they play at home

Score is respectable but at work so can´t see. Any hope or is the score generous to bulls?

Bulls are battling but Fev are well in control.

Apparently those watching on Viaplay can't see either

[Just Browny]

Just caught a couple of clips on Twitter and it is a bit mad how dark it is.

2 poor teams this.
