    That's not true, try refrain from posting random trollop from thin air.

    Drury is a valuable member of the coaching staff, especially amongst the younger teams.

    Anton was brought in as a fitness and conditioning specialist only a few months ago. He is someone who has experience at much bigger clubs than ours - we wouldn't be looking to offload him.

    I wouldn't say Drury is valuable when Hopkin was sending him away at same time he was sending Abbott away.

    I guarentee neither be here in the summer, lets wait and see till then.

    I was on about Paula Watson as someone has kindly told me her name. She was around early last season IIRC did a promo video and that's the last I have heard from her. I am sure she took over the PR role but it sure its worked though.

    If the Fans do come back .... the team plays shite , then the fans disappear again

    Unless this team performs sharpish getting fans back on side is a lost cause .. even if they give the tickets away you might get a couple of thousand back - but if we lose they wont be back again

    Its up to the players now , A couple of wins would change things drastically - as will a couple of losses

    Not a patch on we are used to. So unless @Fordy117@Fordy117 can persuade Julian to let him organise the PR unpaid then the sorry state of affairs will continue.

    I've had my final straw with them this season, I've even turned down free hospitality on Saturday. Never thought I'd be saying that with regards to watching my beloved club.

    Agree with that.. All season ive been surrounded by groups all on freebies. Communities, clubs, groups the bleeding lot. 75% have had no interest in the game and for the most time, been an absolute pissing nuisance

    An "(End of) Season ticket" for £50 ?? Maybe throw in a 10% club shop discount* voucher too as a special promotion... *excludes sale items

    Give MK Dons or Coventry a call to find out how they fill their 20000 empty seats.
    You’re boring now with this opinion that there’s enough interest in this football club at this current time to entice casual fans to give up their time.
    But if you think it’ll work, why not print out some flyers and go round the streets of Bradford handing them out.

    You can't put any credible spin on the terrible season we have had
    All the club can do is find some way to build a team playing attractive attacking football and the Bradford public will back them. Charging a quid to swell the crowd and boost the "atmosphere" will only cost the club more in terms of staffing police stewarding etc. Firstly and most importantly the club needs to attract back the missing season ticket holders who have paid and still don't attend then go for the extra fans who may be persuaded to attend for a reduced admission fee
    The only way to do this is to provide entertainment on the pitch and at that the moment that not inconsiderable responsibility lies with the management

    Only a year ago were were regularly exceeding 20k at home games, now we’re lucky to have 10k actually in the stadium despite the ‘official’ attendance.
    It’s highly unlikely that we’ll sell 10k season tickets if we go down and won’t be many more even if we stay up.
    In all honesty, we’d need to be in the Championship before we see anywhere near 20k season tickets again even at low prices.
    No amount of clever marketing can change that.

    Come on we only have 6 home games I'm sure as an avid Bradford City fan you could get to them, it's now the team need yours, mine and every other Bradford City fans support, just as @Fordy117@Fordy117 posted in the "
    It’s our time now! Our club needs us!" thread.
