According to the Sky programme summary last night, "Bradford city welcome Harrogate to the Valley". Do they know something we don't? After all ground sharing should be encouraged. Who would we share with? The Millers Pikes Pigs Fowls Terriers We have plenty of options.
It was nice to hear the proper name Valley Parade mentioned several times instead of whatever sponsor-driven name they have for it this season. I’m sure it’s coming but the longer we can repel ground name sponsorship the better. Well done to Harrogate last night. It’s the first time I have seen them play a whole match for quite a while and the step up in ability is remarkable. I can see them climbing the league pyramid in no time.
Utilita Energy Stadium it's called now. I had to google it to find out. Don't know where half the stadiums are now when they get called their sponsored names. Re Harrogate - I thought they'd do well this season. Definitely in with a chance of the playoffs I thought. Well run club and doing well
Yes they are very well run. The chairman is the manager’s dad. Long serving manager who has taken them up the leagues. It’s that dirty word at Oakwell - CONTINUITY
