Percy Parrot Posted October 27, 2003 Report Share Posted October 27, 2003 Meeting today apparently. What is everyone's thoughts. I think Horsfall would be too small, but Valley Parade would be too big surely. It holds over 25,000!!!! I can't imagine us taking any more than 400-500 and they won't get THAT many- will they. Maybe a few thousand? Mind you, the other option of Odsal (Bradford Bulls) may be just as big- not too sure. But I hope it is held up there rather than AG- it's what the FA cup is all about. IF if is held at Valley Parade- it will prob be on a Sunday as Bradford play Walsall on the Sat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elhombrecito Posted October 27, 2003 Report Share Posted October 27, 2003 Sorry, I thought you were referring to the Public Address system at Valley Parade (aka the Bradford and Bingley Stadium)............ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest XrAnGeX Posted October 27, 2003 Report Share Posted October 27, 2003 Yeah.. I think holding it at the clubs ground is what makes the tie what it is. A big team coming to a small place gives it something extra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lobster Posted October 27, 2003 Report Share Posted October 27, 2003 Judging from press reports, it depends on whether Sky elect to show the game. http://www.leedstoday.net/ViewArticle.aspx...rticleID=681959 There should be no question of playing the match anywhere other than Horsfall. It's a lovely draw given PA's history as a Football League club and it is only right and proper that the game is held at their home patch. The games at Heybridge and Harrogate were all the more memorable because of the grass roots venues. When PA went out of the league in 1970, it was felt that Bradford wasn't big enough to have two league clubs. I see some parallels... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest east_dundry_red Posted October 27, 2003 Report Share Posted October 27, 2003 They should put up tempory seating like harrowgate railway did, id love to go to a tiny ground makes it more fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Percy Parrot Posted October 27, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2003 having read that the ground holds 3,500 and we would get over 500 tickets I agree- Horsfall it should be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swindon Hater Posted October 27, 2003 Report Share Posted October 27, 2003 I will make every effort to go to the game if it's at BPA's ground, Heybridge was brilliant and a right laugh, I love going to these non-league grounds and it's what the FA Cup's all about.

Guest Huddersfield Red Posted October 28, 2003 Report Share Posted October 28, 2003 I noticed that the live games are at Thurrock, Accrington & Yeovil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcfc seattle Posted October 28, 2003 Report Share Posted October 28, 2003 I think it should either beat there ground or switch it AG. Who wants to go to a 80% empty stadium talk about atmosphere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
