I think it’s developed as the you’ve been pecked by the chickens meme took hold.

The theory is that people wouldn't go to the lower leagues if the 3pm matches were televised.

The problem is that around 5 million people watch the 3pm matches illegally so I am not sure that the blackout does anything.

I'm so confused. My team is kicking off at 2pm and in and watch it.

One win, one draw and one loss this weekend. I did joke to DH yesterday that after the two results yesterday that meant I’d have a win today so there we go LOL.

I like football very much. 😁 Up the f*ing chickens.

I hate bloody football.

Huddersfield fans got you've been pecked by the chickens a lot last season when they battered us at their place. 😂

is that the regular nickname for Bradford? I thought the Bantams...

Officially it's the bantams, but a few years ago, Harry Lewis (ex goalkeeper) started signing off his videos on social media with "up the f*ing chickens" and it's kind of stuck.

That was a meme made by one of the lads on a podcast I think! We send it to the opposition every time we win now 😂

It's all in good fun. I love how the first game between us is Halloween. 😂

Fully expect you to batter us again, really tough team to beat. We started well but seem to be sliding back to how we played last season.

Scoobydoobydoo19 · 20/09/2026 14:56

I don't think we'll batter you. The defence is immense (Baldwin and Pennington are absolute heroes) but we don't match our xG with actual goals, so we're perfecting the "boring" 1-0. But hey, I'll take it!
Looking forward to the derby 😊

Yes, only the 3pm Saturday matches cannot be shown on tv in the UK.

We were at the Newcastle match yesterday and, I must admit, I went in trepidation. We had a very good view of both of our goals and the team celebrated just in front of us. There was some very good movement between players. Joe Willock was very good, as was Sean Steur. Interesting point from the Daily Telegraph was that after Steur went off with cramp Hull had loads more shots, so he was obviously doing something right.

I'm glad there's an international break as, hopefully, we'll get some more senior players back.

I am definitely not pleased about the international break!

I'm shocked! Shocked, I tell you! Shocked!

Wonder what the punishment will be?

Matildahoney · 25/09/2026 16:33

It's absolute bull, this is far worse than spy gate yet we've got 3 punishments for that, all very very harsh and it's still not done! They'll get a slap on the wrist and continue as normal
