No info (I'm definitely not "in the know") 

But looking at their squad with the likes of  Myler, Higano, Dagger, Thompson, Lineham, they'll be up there as one of the highest spenders in the league. They've a big strong squad. 

OK but 3 of the players you mention weren't playing, so it doesn't really matter what they are being paid. 

I either case I wouldn't have thought they cost much. Lineham and Myler are probably in their last season and won't be getting much, I would have thought, but I am speculating. 

As for the size of the squad, many are simply squad players and aren't really Championship standard but would be classed as "in development". 

I thought York were very poor today.  Without Thompson and Jubb an already light pack left the middle wide open.  Hingano looked a threat but played behind a dominated pack.  Without Myler and Nikau Williams York had very little creativity.

Still, even without these they were poor. Never looked like competing, even against 12..

How’s Fitzsimmons done since going to York ?

Generally among the better players. Big engine, good worker. York lack grunt. He is one of the few who can provide some. 

Good signing for us.

It was the kind of thing you might expect from a hot-headed youngster, overexcited on his debut. Hansen knows better.

Any idea what we he did? I paid 4.95 of your English pounds to watch the match and I still can't see what he did. Same for Sitaleki , I am sure both red cards were merited but it was all a blurr on the t'interweb

April Fools day has begun. Not a bad one as it is kinda believable.

....and Jersey, Guernsey, Gibraltar, the Isle of Man, South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands, the British Antarctic Territory, and Tristan da Cunha. But it is still the GB pound.

Anyway we are digressing from the thread.

I didnt. St Helena (and Ascension Island) uses the St Helena pound (code SHP, 654)...

I've re-watched it. H was really reckless, hit the guy when he was already on the deck

 Sita... I'm not so sure. It wasn't his elbow. Just a big hit on the poor lad. 

Doesn't matter what we think anyway.. disciplinary committee are the ones that decide what happens.

Have Fev publicized the attendance figure from the Wakefield game anywhere yet.  The league game. I've given up on the cup one.

I heard off someone at the club after the game 3500 +. Not many are publishing  attendances the days for whatever reason, can't see why they can't imho.

[The Blues Ox]

Speaking of attendances, Bradford gave theirs out Friday night as nearly 4K. Needless to say it felt/looked more like about 2-2.5K.

It only seems to be the Halifax fans that accuse the club of lying about the attendance figures.

Where's your proof? 

The popular side and stand looked busier than usual.

 

[bigbaldnmad]

I think there are more than Halifax that have queried Bradfords attendance figures.

[dkw]

Amazing , desperately hunting for proof of lower crowds to score some points on a forum. Any other sport would be celebrating good crowd figures.

Think he's right tbh though. Never thought it was near 4k.
