    Give your head a shake. Who do you think Bradford City are? I have no problem with going to Salford. Salford to Bradford is like Bradford to Burnley. Burnley fan "Going to Bradford" Second fan responds "Wont be many". This type of attitude, dismissive attitude is ridiculous. Over the past 75 years we are a low division, low achieving, small football club. Why do we believe that Salford are beneath us? If one outcome of us dropping down is that we get rid of the 'Supporting Bradford City because you are a glory hunting bastard' crowd who seem to think that most teams are beneath us, I, for one, will be glad.

    While I get your point, and we will take plenty because it's new and that, still... Screw Salford.

    They’ll probably beat us.

    Salford will be up there battling for promotion.

    Why would you be glad? I don’t really care where I go following City tbh. However, I don’t think it is right that a bunch of millionaires and billionaire should pluck a team like Salford out of nowhere, fund them drive prices up even further, picking off all the best players. It’s a plaything for them, something to keep them amused after their football careers. I just hope we have a competitive team, because I see teams like Salford as being part of the problem. Fans don’t matter anymore, they are there to enhance the experience. The EFL, PL and the FA, are growing richer at the same time as the playing field is being tipped even further, no such thing as an even playing field in football. They just turn a blind eye to it all.

    Trying to support your team because you feel a good connection with your team, it’s heritage, and the players is laughed at by the ppl in power. There isn’t an answer as such, it will probably self destruct at some point as fans lose interest,stop subscribing to football tv, then the sponsors will dry up, etc etc.,

    When I said not many, I was referring to their small ground and tiny away fan allocation.

    No worries, Becks will find some loose change down the couch, and hey presto it will be built.

    This would happen sooner rather than later under a Labour government.

    Astronomical fees and payments would be a thing of the past and stricter regulations put in place to ensure a more even playing field.

    Just to add to this, before the ex-Man United players took over the club, Salford City’s home colours were orange and black.

    They have since changed the kit colours to match Man United’s home kit, which I just find quite plastic from a team that is going to be a football league club. It’s almost as if Salford City are a younger brother of Man United, rather than a club continuing to have its original identity.

    Salford City might have had success in gaining promotion to the football league, but I don’t believe it’s the same club which was supported by the original fans who followed the club prior to this takeover.

    Anyway, if I can manage to get a ticket for Salford City away, I will go. However, it seems very likely that demand will outweigh supply.

    Salford are just another Crawley / Fleetwood who have bought their way up the leagues , everything that is wrong with football today.

    Not sure which is the more absurd suggestion that fans will lose interest or that Labour will gain power and regulate football payments

    We're better than Salford. They're nothing compared to us. A tiny team hitting the 'big time' we should treat them with the contempt they deserve.

    Unless our loser fans get more arrogance about them we'll be perennial plucky lower league losers.

    With our massive support maybe David and the boys can get Old Trafford then there would be no trouble getting our massive away support in.

    I'm totally confused. WTF has Labour or any political party got to do with this topic? Can you explain why any party would have an impact on this situation? Please leave politics out of City related topics. Things are tough enough .
