    Lowe is a Liverpool fan.

    Point 2 is correct though.

    Think Man City have played a very good game make out there interested in certain players only for there neighbours to jump the gun and pay over the top for them ............Ronaldo was never gonna end up at the Eithad Pep wants players that don’t sulk when there dropped etc

    We would average less than that if we had higher priced season tickets

    walk around Bradford and see how many Man U and Liverpool tops you see .......... I mean I bet there are thousands of Leeds fans within the Bradford district :( you can probably add a fair few Town and Burnley fans ......., have Plymouth got that issue ???? Well they probably have a few glory hunters down there but they ain’t got two Premier league side a Championship side sat on there doorstep ........... btw I think you will find there is a fair few followers of the Sheffield clubs within this City ........... I mean imagine wanting to take your kid to a PL club if your from Plymouth the hassle it brings etc etc 150 miles away and that’s Southampton .............. do the same in Bradford and within an hours travel you have the choice of 4 ............. one being arguably the biggest club in the world the other being the Champions of England ................now don’t get me wrong the tickets down there are steep would City fans pay the same ????? I doubt it but would Plymouth fans pay them prices if they sat in our location ????? I doubt it

    I always differentiate between an armchair ‘fan’, who buys a shirt, but usually has never seen the inside of the ground of the team they nominally follow. At best has been a few times, to the odd game. A ‘supporter’ does just that. Buys a season ticket and goes to back their team on a cold damp Tuesday night during the winter.
    Big, big difference in my honest opinion!

    Just seen Parker update on this Saturday - prob no Cook and loanee from Luton still unwell!! Most clubs signing players who come in and have an impact, we can't even get ours on the pitch! :*@
    Not sure if Adams and Sparks quite realise what the reaction will be like if we don't get a result v Salford

    Demonstration round the clubs offices is the traditional way of showing fans are unhappy

    Even if Sparks continues to support Adams regardless of results, once the crowd turns, it's out of his control. That cold, detached relationship with the fans will only serve to hasten his departure, if our fortunes don't pick up soon.

    If he feared failure at a club promoted to L1 why on earth did he take this job (3 year contract maybe)
    What will he do if and it's a big if he gets us promoted as Mr Sparks says anything but promotion is failure is he likely to jump ship again !!!
    Probably back to his beloved Morecambe (he got them promoted you know) bet they can't wait

    You joking, I'm too young to die and Julie really scares me. Pulls a great pint mind, but scares the shite out of me.
