We are the depleted Badgers...

Season Injuries to Fasolo and Higgins. Also key injuries to other best 15 in Brennan and Cassisi has the Badgers in trouble.

Also out for the week is the Badgers youth in Sam Mayes who cannot warm the bench and Callum Sinclair was chucked back onto the rookie list. The depleted Badgers are although depleted, they got the highest score of the year  in 1899 and serging for the top 8.

On other announcement, Specky92 has joined the team, but has not been given his main spefific role until coach, whatlez can figure out how to use FF again. The sad news is PowerBug has left the team, but that was months ago. Sorry Badger fans out there who have been attending the home games at Badger Vill. Whatlez is sorry and is hoping Specky92 can help the team out with the naming of the squads for the next couple of weeks.

Thanks Badger fans and welcome Specky.

BADGER BULLETIN

On behalf on the coaching team and the playing list we would like to thank the fans for putting in a huge showing on the weekend at Kassam Stadium, We're convinced the crowd was split 50/50.

For those that couldn't get down to Oxford for the game we had a very solid win against the Owls, getting off to a quick start and extending our lead the entire match with our midfielders getting plenty of the ball.

Bradford Best: Griffin, Barlow, Prestia, Swallow

Oxford Best: Steven, Kelly, Thompson, Goodes


We ask that everyone get down to Badger Vill this week for our game against Grope Lane Giants and we remind you of the special deal at the game. A $20 food voucher free with any Bradford guernsey purchased. We're hoping to to see 30,000 Badger fans in the blue and grey this week.

That's all for this week folks,

Sincerely

Whatlez & Specky

[Justin Bieber]

Make that 50,000 Badger Fans! haha
