And here's our 100% accurate psycho analysis of you...

Mostly A

What are you even doing on this site? Bradford City is almost an alien concept to you.

 

Mostly B

You enjoy supporting City. You go along with the ups and downs of supporting the club but don’t let it affect you too much. There are other things in life.

 

Mostly C

Supporting City is very important to you. They’re a huge part of your life. Win, and your week is made. Lose and it gets you down, but you just about move on in time.

 

Mostly D

You are the definition of City till I die. You live and breathe the club. People edge nervously away from you at games, and although you might be a bit too much at times, the club needs people like you. Good on you.
