IT was a game that seemed to have everything apart from a goal.
Bradford City kicked off their League 2 season with a frustrating goalless draw with Doncaster Rovers at a bumper crowd of more than 19,000 watching on at Valley Parade.
The Bantams faithful were left frustrated by the bizarre antics of Lee Tomlin for his sending off for Doncaster, a double leg break for new City signing Emmanuel Osadebe after a challenge and Doncaster’s non too subtle time-wasting tactics.
Here are a few views from the Bantams faithful on social media after their side’s first game of the new campaign:
Felt good being back at the Football again ... Saturday's are back #BCAFC pic.twitter.com/pGlgC6m1v5

Still simmering about the events of yesterday afternoon, to see one of our lads with a very serious leg injury was sickening. I hate this league with a passion , I really hope we use it as a spur to get out. #bcafc

Absolutely gutted for Osadebe hopefully he has a good recovery. As for us there’s definitely signs of a good side there, get 4 or 5 games under our belt and I’m sure we will start firing and breaking teams down. Crichlow looks class #bcafc

Despite a disappointing 0-0 it was great to see Valley Parade bouncing with a record attendance for an EFL fourth tier game yesterday. @officialbantams #BCAFC pic.twitter.com/v519nf8KEu

Feel absolutely pig sick for Osadebe, taken the shine off everything. #bcafc

Valley Parade- Att: 19,368 (1,971 #drfc)
Great display from the city fans.
An awful injury, comedy red card, another red after full time fight, 18 mins combined injury time, and the biggest 4th tier crowd in English history.#bcafc pic.twitter.com/FoIkiPO9hh
How many 4th tier clubs across Europe can boast this kind of support , unbelievable #bcafc pic.twitter.com/tZd5C5rZyE
