Bradford v Charlton - Post Match Views

Comfortable win, professional performance. Could have been 5 or 6 had we rightfully been given penalties instead of bookings.
Josh Cullen is ridiculously good. Lyle Taylor is a real handful upfront. That second goal was pure class. Him and Grant have the makings of a very good partnership.
Back home within an hour of full time, the perfect away day. Safe travels fellow Addicks. COYR!5 -

Also, how refreshing to see us not getting bullied out of games. Lee, Lee, Lee Bowyer!3

At the game, it was a really good away performance. While Bradford dominated possession at times, I can't remember them having a clear cut chance except for the sitter in the second minute.
Cullen had a fantastic first half, playing just in front of the back four, he looks a canny signing. He broke up a lot of attacks, displayed a fine array of passing and showed a nice touch at times. Aribo grew in to the match, but a bit disappointed with Reeves and Ward. Reeves looks lean and it is nice to see a skilful player put himself about a bit but nothing really came off for him. Ward looks rusty and needs game time.
I think that defence could hold their own in the championship and the front two are really forming a threatening partnership. Grant has clearly come on as player and Taylor is an upgrade. The team has definitely got something about it but we won't know till Christmas if the size of the squad is going to limit our chances this year.9 -
That's their average the last three seasons. Why you ask? Because of how they do their season tickets. All adult season tickets are £199 and U18 are £99.Oggy Red said:
Attendance:
15,709
That's a very decent sized crowd for a League One fixture.
And it wasn't even their highest crowd for this season (18,000+ ).4 -
But IIRC their gate income is mid table L1 and worse than ours.Fortune 82nd Minute said:

Enjoyable day in Bradford. Nice pubs always helps. Very good today. Bielik for Reeves and that after today you would pick week in week out. Onwards and upwards. Roland Out!!2

It's not that bad as 27 yellows are spread out between 16 players and 4 of those yellows are for PratleyWeegie Addick said:Great result and finally a proper strike partnership. Just a touch worried about all these bookings piling up. Worst in the League?

And bigger crowds spend more money on catering, in the club shop, programmes, whatever.NapaAddick said:

It's win-win for Bradford at Valley Parade.*
*Except when they play Charlton of course

Pleased for the fans who have travelled, nothing better than them days when your up at the crack of dawn with only 300 odd and u see a win. Makes the time and money well spent and the train journey home fly past.
And it makes u forget all them other miserable away days.3 -
From the away section I genuinely thought they’d got McCall back as manager. I was completely oblivious to the fact David Hopkin got the job.1

PWR. Wife was delighted that as soon as got in from a romantic meal on the seafront in and walk in Goa, I dashed to pull out my phone and get on the WiFi for match result. Wife felt I should have been more interested in talking to our daughter who is home alone. Priorities in order I checked the result and said hi to daughter, letting her know the result in the process.
Totally chuffed with the result. Sounds like winning the hard way as Curbs would call it. Bodies on the line, plenty of cards, but bringing 3 away points back to The Valley. Life is rosey in India. Big up to Lee & JJ. So happy for the travelling Addicks. A great day out Bradford over the years.9 -
Charlton’s. Or possibly Charlton’re seeing as it’s “we’re”.Fumbluff said:

Couldn’t go today, but I believe there is typically a very large gap between the attendance and the actual crowd at Bradford, bigger even than at Charlton. That’s not to say it doesn’t work for them, but the announced numbers are not representative.0

I would say it was the emptiest I have seen it in the last few years. Impressive attendance none the less.Airman Brown said:Couldn’t go today, but I believe there is typically a very large gap between the attendance and the actual crowd at Bradford, bigger even than at Charlton.

There weren't that many of us to make a dent in to their stand regardless. Much better view and nice to get a beer in the ground for a change.Airman Brown said:

I thought their support was okay to be honest. Seemed to stick with their team until the end and I think the stadium is a proper old ground with a bit of charm to it. It’s one of the decent things about this level of football. The stadiums have all still got a bit of charm about them and aren’t sterile like the Emirates etc
The worst are new builds for teams at this level like Colchester.8 - Sponsored links:

Looked about 60% full to me, but hard to tell. Oh and their season tickets are so cheap I nearly bought one, with the intention of going to about ten games. If they are included it won't be far offAirman Brown said:Couldn’t go today, but I believe there is typically a very large gap between the attendance and the actual crowd at Bradford, bigger even than at Charlton.

We sat where we sat today back in the Premier league, couldn't they sell it out then?Airman Brown said:

@RedChaser on the player marks you suggested that cullen could be our best midfielder since kinsella. Didn't you rate Parker, Jensen, Smertin or Murphy?0

If they shut a stand then presumably not, but that’s not my recollection.Cafc43v3r said:

Decent away day! One thing I noticed was how Bradford fans stuck by the team. Was in a weird way, good to see all the stands join in creating an atmosphere.2

Nasty, horrible, soft, cheating bastards - apart from the soft bit - qualities much needed to get out of this division.2
