Bradford City (a) (League One) 2018 / 19 - Match 5 - Sat 25/08/18 - Attendance Predictions
Another huge gate (by our standards) for us to gauge. My advice is not to follow my advice when I post the first prediction - I was a long way off with the home and away crowds at Home Park and a long way off for our home game against the pretend quartered team this Saturday just gone.
Here we go for Bradford:
Total crowd 18460 - and out of that a very creditable 550 from Wycombe.
I will go if I manage to get a colleague to cover my on call duties at work.
Token prize will be a programme if I go and manage acquire one - my record on that is good to indifferent. As usual the prize is for the total attendance, although on this occasion there will be a special mention for whoever is closest to our away crowd.
Happy predicting. Spreadsheet up later.
Comments
17482 from me. 427 still fuelled by Devon euphoria and a cider or two will brave bank holiday motorway chaos and taste whether black pudding can hold a candle to a fine Devon pasty. Bradford will succeed in getting a far bigger crowd all into the ground before kick off. Watch and Learn Argyle.
18000, 400 please
19750 including 395 blues.
17345 with 440 Chairpeople. Still going for 1 -1...though happy to be wrong again!
17886 with 484 quartered chairs 2-1 to the blues!
Nine
16,646 and 382.
18,471 and 503
17050 with 456 away
18,721 with 472 Wycombe
18500 with 450 Chairboys and girls. 2-2.
16,909 with 459 Chairboys watch us win 2-1.
We usually take no more than 250 to Valley Parade so I'm surprised with these predictions, let's hope they're right!
I see @LX1 is back to normal.
Apologies about interrupting, but I was wondering if anyone going to this one would have a spare seat in their car (and willing to offer it)? More than happy to contribute towards the petrol!
I often post on the carpooling thread, but I think it gets ignored sometimes because it is stickied.
17669 (449 away)
Someone let me know if they can take @WanderingDays so I can add one to my prediction.
Haha. Good thinking! I appreciate the support
You are a card and no mistake @Wendoverman.
Hey I'm down at the bottom of every score/prediction league...if I can get an advantage...
Just take the average of @ForeverBlue, @mooneyman and @Wig_and_Pen predictions. Can’t go wrong.
16072 including 274 from Wycombe
Update on Thursday evening: 14 predictions so far - 17,782 average for the total and 438 for the Blue Army.

Think I may have got confused between two different threads. The aforementioned are whizz kids at score predictions.
18,000 with 480 Chairboys
17865 with 488 from Chairtown.
Afternoon all, Bantams fan in peace. Not sure how many of you will be making the trip to Bradford tomorrow but for those of you looking for some pre-match food and drink then I thought the following advice would be of some help to you.
If you are arriving by train and come into Bradford via the Interchange then I would suggest making the short walk from the station to City Park – easily found as it fronts on to City Hall. Just look for the tall clock tower in front of you as you leave the station. For cheap and cheerful there is the Turls Green (Westherspoons). However, I would recommend taking in Sunbridge Wells – a subterranean complex of bars (7 in total I think) which is located behind the Turls Green (just go through the passage between Turls Green and Starbuks and you will see it straight ahead). These bars are about 20 minutes’ walk from the ground though, so keep that in mind.

Sunbridge Lounge has a nice selection of beers and serves tapas.
If you are short on time then you will need to be making your way towards Valley Parade, therefore I would recommend North Parade. A street full of independent bars and only a 10 minutes’ walk from the ground. Great beers and vibrant atmosphere on match days.
Also worthy of note is City Vaults, opposite Waterstones and close to the Broadway Shopping Centre where you can get some traditional pub grub. This is about 15 minutes’ walk from the ground.
If you arrive at Forster Square station then City Vaults and North Parade are your best bets. This is the nearest station to the ground as well.
Parking is bit rubbish close to the ground; you may find the odd space down some of the nearby side streets. For cheap, safe and secure I would recommend parking at the Broadway Shopping Centre - £1.50 for the entire day. If you park there then expect a 15 minutes’ walk to the ground. There is a food court in the Broadway and includes Burger King, Subway, Taco Bell and a Chinese whose name I forget. Five Guys and Zizzi are just outside.
I predict a crowd of 16,780 with 325 from Wycombe ;-)
Welcome@JimmyBantam - thanks for the helpful advice, appreciated - I wonder if you might like to copy the post onto our Matchday thread when it goes up tonight or early - people read that who might not read this thread.
I do hope you are surprised by the crowd attracting power of the Wanderers this season - collectively we predict that the gate will be about 1000 more than your figure. However we are collectively occasionally wrong - like everybody underestimated how many people in Plymouth would want to watch us.
19 attendance predictions currently. Our average prediction for our away support is what would be a creditable 438.
Spreadsheet updated with attendance and score predictions from as many threads as I could find, with pretty colours for the scores -

I intend to update again around 14:00. Up the Blues.
