[mikemiller]

Thanks for the information , Topper. I'll be there, despite yesterday's farce. Warm and sunny in Bradford at the moment. For those who don't know, the ground is on the SW side of the city, quite close to the Odsal rugby league stadium

[ackworth miller]

Was on my way to match yesterday when I heard it was called off but will be there tonight. Look forward to seeing Cresswell again if he plays. Since half of squad was meant to play 60 min at Farsley and 30 min at Bradford PA and visa-versa I'm guessing they may instead play different teams each half like against Parkgate.

£10 a little steep for a game such as this but who's to complain if this means we get a pitch we can play on?!

[mikemiller]

Bus information - 681 and 682 (Halifax - Bradford) stop close to the stadium

Plenty of parking on street

Crikey I remember when they were in the league (upto 1970) when they were replaced by Cambridge United.

[flourbasher]

I think they are Harry Gration,s team.
Krista Ackroyd might be there to add some glamour

That's an oxymoron isn't it?

No I'm sure she was a presenter (of sorts)

[Pattylallacks2]

No I'm sure she was a presenter (of sorts)

Apologist for Jimmy Savile is what she was

[flourbasher]

How about faded glamour then

[Pattylallacks2]

Never what you could call pretty.

[CAMiller]

Humbling to find out that Bradford PA have a much better FA Cup record than RUFC, they even made the quarter finals 3 times back in their halcyon days.

[mikemiller]

Got as far as Wibsey, SW Bradford. Having a pint in Hooper's micropub. Cloudy humid conditions outside. Ready for that pint of Kirkstall Three Swords 👍

[mikemiller]

Just about any club has got a better FA Cup record than us💔

As long as the beer's not cloudy you should be OK Mike!

I thought that after writing it. 91 league clubs with a better record is OK, non-league clubs with a better one is a different kettle of fish XD

[mikemiller]

The beer is great

Wasn't he Harry Gration's mate as well?

They did always call him a "friend of the show" anyway.

[Grist_To_The_Mill]

Saville fooled a lot of people, just as there are people on tv now that are doing exactly the same.

National Treasures, untouchable, the king’s new clothes

[Scum-Triumphant]

TEAM v @BPAFCOfficial | Price; Olosunde, Cooper, Robertson, Hinds; Wiles, Crooks, Barlaser; Proctor, Ladapo, Vassell.

SUBS | Bilboe, Jones, Mattock, MacDonald, Ajayi, Wood, Morris, Ihiekwe, Smith, Kayode.

[frogmiller]

Have we scored yet?

What happened to clar?

He's like The Scarlet Pimpernel.

As he works at The University of Cincinnati where Neil Armstrong was also a lecturer after his astronauting days until his death, maybe they chatted over coffee one day about walking on the moon. I'm sure they both enjoy The Police XD

[millertop]

2-0 Ladapo and Vassell

2| GOAL.

The Millers are ahead.

Wonderful feet from Ladapo.

The forward took it from Wiles on the edge of the area, sold his man a stepover and lashed one into the bottom corner. 0-1. #rufc

11| GOAL.

Wiles picks the pocket of Cresswell in the home defence and races through one-on-one.

He slides it past the goalkeeper, but his effort hits the post before Vassell is on hand to tap home. 0-2. #rufc

[rolymiller]

Vassell on good scoring form ATM. Let's hope it carrys on into league

[CASPER-64-FRANK]

Vassell hat trick
5-0 atm

[CASPER-64-FRANK]

Finished 5-1 to Millers.
A good workout for the lads.

It's great to see another 'three' pronged attack. Let's hope this is the way forward for the forthcoming season.

[CASPER-64-FRANK]

A good post match interview from Paul Warne now on the O/S.

[mikemiller]

Good first half, but poor second half. Crooks dominated the match. Vassell and Wiles played well. Freddie was good but a bit raw. Some good touches from Barlaser and Olasunde. Carlton Morris looks no different to previous loan spell. We still can't defend crosses to far post. Passing not bad , but crossing into box, especially second half , was poor as usual.

[millertop]

Ajayi didn’t come on

Rolf Harris did and others.

Not Savile though, pretty much everyone knew and had known for decades.

John Lydon mentioned it in an interview in 1978.

They might know it, but nobody would want to be the first one to say it.

Same with Savile, loads came out after the event saying “ of course I knew...but”

There’s very likely to be another Savile out there today.

There’s very likely to be another Savile out there today.

People were saying he was either a *****phile or a necrophile or both, for many years, and some people at the BBC must have known.

It's like with Cyril Smith, David Steel knew all about it but didn't say anything.

[great_fire]

I saw Savile's coffin.

I was in Leeds and walking into the centre from the station and his casket was on display in one of the hotels across from the station, wasn't an open casket but a bit weird but then he always was weird, and worse.

[CAMiller]

Now then, now then! Drop the Jimmy Saville references please, they've been done to death on here. Let's get back to football!

Give that man a badge lol

[mikemiller]

Don't think that anybody will be accusing Freddie of wanting to walk the ball into the net. "Shoot on sight" last night, but some of it was a bit wild. He's not the kind of player who will be wondering whether he should have shot or not, which makes a change.

[mikemiller]

Bradford PA were playing in their "Third kit" last night. Home kit is now black, red, amber and stripes, away kit is green,13228

[mikemiller]

Oops - don't think that is the right kit either! Maybe they were using last seasons. It was a rugby style banded/hooped kit though

[mikemiller]

...13230

[great_fire]

Looks like the German flag.
