Really nice having a fan who can come on and wish their old coach good luck and the team as well. If it'd been any other coach you can guarentee we woldnt of seen a good luck post. Wish the bulls all the best this year, after all we're not going to make the GF so anyone who's in with a chance of beating St's good luck to them!

FROM A TO B posted:
I remember talking to a few bulls fans after you beat us in a semi at Huddersfield a couple of years ago. They said that if Bradford not playing, they always cheer for Wigan.
Good luck for the rest of the season (apart from when you play us).

Works in reverse too...the group I always go with will always support Bradford before any other opposition club.

Bradford Bull, well done on such a great post. It's obvious to see that Nobby was well thought of by all the Bulls supporters.

Like many other replies have said it's good to see that there are good rugby league fans out there, whether fans of many other clubs would be as gracious to Wigan at present is debatable.

Have always respected the Bulls for the way they grasped the challenge of Super League and summer rugby when it was created.

Always liked the fact too that despite their huge success during the summer era their supporters do not feel the need to rub it in the faces of fans from opposing teams.

Anyway, must stop babbling on ... would just like to wish your club continued success with Steve McNamara (I'm sure you'll understand unless you're playing Wigan ) and as it's highly likely we won't be in a position to do so this season, stop those S****s winning the title.

Cheers Danny - Nice to know sporting attitudes are alive and well in some parts of the country! Thanks for your good wishes, I can understand why you will miss Nobby so much - he has already said some things which have breathed new life and hope into us so its clear you will miss him but fortunately you have a good replacement in Steve McNamara and a good solid squad so you will do ok. Group of us had got tickets for the Challenge cup way back last December, thinking it would be nice to go to the new Wembley and if Wigan were there then that would be a bonus and we weren't best pleased when it was transferred to the home of kick and clap, seems unlikely that we will make it now unless Nobby turns out to be Harry Houdini in disguise but you guys have every chance to be there so our group will certainly be happy to shout for you guys - assuming you beat Saints (Please!!!!!!!!!!!) in the next round and carry on to the final. Good luck and thanks for coming over to visit us - come back as often as you like

Can't help comparing the reaction of bradford bull and other Bradford fans with that of the Stains fans who jeered Ian Millward after he had given them success they had never dreamed of.
I go to Lourdes every year as a helper and up to a couple of years ago, a group of Bradford fans were always there the same week, wearing Bradford gear. They knew I was a Wigan fan and we always had a good chat and some very friendly banter. I haven't seen them for the last 2/3 years, so they may no longer go.
I just hope for bradford bull's sake (and his mates) that history doesn't repeat itself. We were in the same financial mess in 1996/1997 and it not only cost us Central Park, but I'm sure supporters from that time will also remember it cost us a team. Remember all the players who left at that time? Edwards, Offiah, Inga (can't spell Tuigamala), Botica, Skerret, Platt to name a few.
If only some of the rumours of players leaving Odsal
are true, you could be on the same rocky road. Sorry if I have depressed you.

When I watched the "League Of Their Own" DVD, I really appreciated how much Brian is held in such high regard with the Bradford fans and the RL community in general.

He strikes me as being a very honest coach and someone who when he talks at least his words will carry some weight.

Good Luck to the Bulls for the rest of the season. (As long as you can beat the Leeds Whiners and them from Knowsley Rd to the title).
