Would have been funny if it had said 'Mark Stott Arena'😂😂 It’s pretty much already the Vita Arena! Vitarena? lets not go down that line. if we did it would never catch on and it would still be EP for everyone. honestly i have still to meet a bradford city fan that goes anywhere but valley parade for home games despite its regular name changes.

Just walked past EP, they've got contractors painting the red steel work on the Cheadle End the same shade of blue to match the cladding, it should look impressive when it's all finished.

In 1995 it made a bit of sense to have a bit of red complementing the blue and white seats in the new stand, as it had been the third colour on our kits for the last six years, but from 95/96 and ever since there hasn't been any red on them apart from sponsors logos.

Obviously I’m being pedantic and I’m annoying myself being that person and it wasn’t a designated shirt but I feel duty bound to point out the Romania shirt had red on it, albeit in tiny amounts.

It was a thing as mentioned above but from 82-95 a bit of red on the kits and made us a little bit different for me. Obviously the last ten years are stock/catalogue kits so we're limited.

Ah yes, I was only thinking of home kits though, i.e. a blue/white/red stand to match what the home team would be wearing, except it just stopped right at the wrong moment.

Still a bit disappointed we didn’t get this as our shirt this season. If we’re going for stock catalogue fodder, whoever chosen out of the catalogue missed a trick not going for this. Just enough subtle flashes of red we could call it a nod to the early 90s. It’s not an amazing shirt, but better than what we’ve got.

I quite like that shirt, and have no objection to little flecks of red on our kits at all, but if we’re going to do that then I’d like a bit of white on the shirt too. That said we’ve not had nearly enough white in any of our home kits in recent years.

I really don’t like the red flecks, and why red anyway? Those of us who go back further will remember we had bits of yellow in the late 60’s/early 70’s, so red has no special claim at all. Was the yellow a reference to the three yellow wheatsheaves on the blue flag of Cheshire? Is the yellow on the steps around EP a throw-back to what I mentioned above? The kit as it is is distinctive - blue/blue/white; more white or all blue would make it less so. I saw a great little vlog by a Wrexham lad earlier this season (worth looking out when we play them); he rated every National League kit and put County first (including with the shade of blue). Leave well alone!
