    Cracking incentive by Rhodes but you could have 25,000 there against Oxford but the fact of the matter is the the squad is shite and no matter how many bums on seats there are i cant see where the next win is coming from with this lot......

    But this is it.

    You don't give a monkey's who owns the club, yet those who own the club have wrecked our position as a top-end League One club.

    So I don't understand how you can maintain your stance, while hypocritically calling for fans to do their part to improve things? They ARE doing their bit, it's just not the comfortable ride you are prepared to take part in.

    Rhodes has my support.

    Hopkin has my support.

    The team have my support.

    Bradford City has my undivided, undying support.

    The custodians, however, do not, but so what?

    An idealistic view, but in the 21st Century a naive one. Hypothetically if our current owners put us into Admin giving us a 12 point deduction and we were relegated by a couple of points would you care then? Or are the fans to blame for all this?

    I would hope as I've posted Rupp will allow Hopkin chance to bring out of contract players in, if that does not happen IMO the January window will be too late.
    As many have said January is a sellers market so even though 2/3 none contract players may be expensive now it will give Hopkin a better chance to turn us around as he will have 8/9 weeks rather than wait for January and finish up as we did last January.
    I can't believe any fan would prefer admin as a way of getting rid of these two, and I would hope Stefan has enought business sense to sell before we got anywhere near that situation.

    Feels to me like we are a 'family' in crisis that needs a bridge of common ideology to reconnect us. This has to be Julian's prime role in reconciling belief and common workable and effective goals. Because nothing will change ownership overnight, we ought to concentrate on the positive effect to change and channel full support to that end. It may only be seen by some as a PR ploy, but we need to see it as a glimmer of better things to come.

    Definitely is a sellers market but I hope we are already close on some if we are serious about it and they come in the door on the first of January. However don’t think we will have much to work with.

    Could be loans?

    So if that turns out to be the case more empty promises.

    If we have to resort to loans in January, I wonder which of our current loanees would have to return to their parent clubs in January to keep within the EFL cap?

    @Park bantam@Park bantam has effectively taken the stance of victim blaming.

    Blame fans for legitimate protest, defend the fact there is a legitimate reason to protest.

    Sad.

    Explain how a flyover ruins the atmosphere?

    I will be there, shouting and singing the lads on in a crucial tie. Will it somehow render you unable?

    Of course not.

    Not when steps are being taken to improve matters. You are hampering that

    One step in the right direction is not cause for complete abandonment of a legitimate protest against still present owners directly responsible for our downturn in fortunes.

    And no, pretty obviously the flyover hampers nothing with regards atmosphere and the game itself.

    Enough melodrama.

    Or it creates a stir, which lifts the volume?

    Support the team not the regime.

    I'd like the crowd to get louder during and after the flyover.

    Yeah its been our fault all along. I mean. Julian is giving you football for a pound you ungrateful swines, and yet you still deride the club. If only we had got behind the lads from the very beginning then we wouldn’t be in this mess. Said no one ever.

    Maybe Stefan has agreed to pump more cash into the club but wants it spent properly and therefore Rhodes is back!
