Lee (northern) Norton, I've supported Bradford for 14 years since the age of six.
What made you support your club?
My dad took me to my first game and I never looked back.
So hows your squad shaping up after the summer break, you seem to be going alright?
Yes, Colin Todd has been very active, he's got rid of a lot of players and brought in some quality ones to replace them. The two loan signings from Derby (Doyle and Holmes) are great players and the two Johnson's (Eddie and Jermaine) are excellent signings!
Has Colin Todd come good after the rough ride last season??
I've always been behind Todd, I cant understand why a top half finish last season was so bad. He does seem to have the team playing much better football this season though.
Your a fans favorite away day, Whats your favorite away day and why?
I travel away with ‘The Shipley Bantams' every away day with them is great, set off early, stop off at a pub for lunch and a few pints before the game and then hopefully come back with all three points. Crewe away a few weeks back was an amazing day as I took money off the bookies aswell!
Most hated rivals??
Huddersfield Town, without a doubt!
If Bradford was a Song, what would it be, and why?
‘Somewhere Over The Rainbow' we've seen the heights of the Premiership (over the rainbow) and we will be back there.
Your views on last season?
It was reasonable, we finished in the top half of the table but our football was very boring and defensive (unlike this season so far).
Realistic hopes for this season?
I think a playoff push is definitely achievable as long as we can keep the loan signings on throughout the season
Who's your all time favorite Bradford player and why??
Mark Bower (Centre Back), he's a great young player, Bradford lad, battles hard and bleeds claret and amber, a future captain!
You've had your good share of financial strife, hows things now, and do you agree with the minus ten deductions??
We were lucky to get away with it ourselves but things are finally looking up for Bradford now, although we still have to be careful there is talk of potential investors. Yes, I agree with the point deduction, administration does give a slight advantage to the club although I think 10 points is a little harsh, 6 would be sufficient.
Whats your relationship with Bradford Park Av like??
It's ok, most city fans have a better relationship with Halifax town now that half of their squad are ex Bradford players.
Who's your strongest / Weakest link?
Weakest link is definitely the squad depth, a few injuries and we will be in trouble. The strongest link at the moment are the wingers although last season it was our defence.
