    Hang on. So if I left a portable BBQ on a moor and it causes a moor fire, I can walk away saying it wasn’t me that set the fire?

    You may not have been banned, but you and many others from TCA are equally (if not more so) guilty of causing offence. You even attacked a few of us on TCA “behind our back”.

    Drives me mad as well. You need something that everyone can buy into, be it fans, players, staff etc. But because we've been lower league for most of our existence its almost accepted that this is our lot. Even if a rich business man came along now and outlined a plan some of our fans would hark back to Richmonds mad spending spree rather than look at the good work he did. Its the Bradford mentaility.

    Really?

    I'm absolutely sure it was you (Bradford Cougar) that talked about being physically abusive to your ex wife on Claret and Banter.

    If I'm wrong then I apologise unreservedly but without being able to prove it I'm 99% certain I'm right.

    And for the record, I've never called Bronco a racist but I do remember the incident and him using an offensive term even after being asked to refrain from using it.

    Money talks and sadly, we have none, irrespective of how much we charge for our Season Tickets

    Funny isn't it? When you were banned countless times over on C&B you'd always protest your innocence...

    "It wasn't me, it was them."
    "I didn't do anything wrong."
    "You're victimising me."
    "Why am I punished and everyone else gets away with it."
    "Poor me."

    You get a warning on here and out comes that little violin again. I don't think I've ever known anyone whinge and whine just as much as you do. Quite frankly, it's a little bit embarrassing.

    Why is it you cannot seem to grasp the realisation that you are just as bad (if not worse) as the posters you are trying to vilify? As NorthernMonkey said, it seems to be those 'bad apples', the ones who have already been on the receiving end of warnings and/or bans on the forums that are shouting the loudest here.

    ;)

    But the point still stands? They’re owned by a billionaire who has taken them from the brink of relegation out of the league into an established Premier League side. But at no point, even with all his wealth, did he feel the need to provide them with their own training facilities?

    Can someone separate the City related stuff out from the rest?

    It would make it easier to follow

    Not until now, they are building (according to them) a state of the art world class training facility starting this year. Their rise to the top is testament to the backing of their Russian billionaire and one of the best young managers in the game. As we stand Bradford don't need a new training facility, i'm not sure in my life time i will ever see them build one.

    I agree.

    I'm going to bed now (after a bottle of red and 90 minutes of an epic Game of Thrones) but will try doing in the morning.

    It’s boring isn’t it? Sitting on here picking the city posts out from the rest? Not for me. I like it

    I did report the post. My subsequent comment wasn’t about the post per se, it was more about the Mod who has handed out bans or threats in the past for aggressive behaviour, turning a blind eye against exactly that type of post and actually ‘liking’ it

    Exactly. He’s been the same since the old C&B site but nothing gets done. Sad that they play their little games. They need to grow up

    Is it a ‘Bradford mentality’ though? Or is it a sense of realism that fans cannot affect what is done in the boardroom? Look at the troubles of clubs like Orient, Coventry, Charlton and the biggest of them all, Blackpool.

    Their fans want ambition. Their fans didn’t like the direction their clubs are taken. But at the end of the day, who wins? The fans don’t enjoy going, many actually stop going but the money-men continue doing what they do.

    We can all spit our dummies out like Fordy and demand success, but unless fans buy the club and have a vested interest, our say on a fans forum means absolutely jack. That doesn’t mean we accept no progression, but what else do we do?

    For the record, have you and @Fordy117@Fordy117 and everyone else demanding change, renewed your season tickets? If so, doesn’t that mean you too are accepting the status quo?
