What really shocks me is that despite the paying Bradford public shelling out large amounts of cash for season tickets and game day tickets, 3 out of the last 5 seasons they have had it decided by one man, and one man alone that they are only going to get 3 quarters of a season of effort.
As a teenager I used to look for anything that meant a good season was ahead. I think it started the season we got promoted from the second division in 1985. City dispatched Cambridge United 2-0, at Valley Parade, goals by John Hawley and Peter Jackson meant the opening day was a good one, of course City went on to clinch the Championship and so a new superstition was created.
