City Vent Fans Forum - now at Latvian Club Mon 29th Jan @7.00pm

But you can get signed up....takes 30 seconds. You won't actually have to do anything but a contribution to swell the numbers could mean that Sparks / Rupp have to talk to the group.....

 

Just keep clapping....it's going well at the moment....

 

Wants the fans to have some form of discourse with the owner and then ridicules any attempt at initiating any discourse with the owner.

Sad,sad old man.

 

Don’t rise to it Keefly… he wants it how it is now for ever. Frightened to death of change.

 

He wasn’t the only one though. I streamed it and the comments coming in were abysmal very little encouragement. Those that run the Bingley branch supporters were scathing of what fans were trying to do. Even saying that the organisers were on some kind of ego boosting mission. Your supposed to just accept whatever bilge comes at you and be grateful you have a club.

 

What's needed in my opinion is for one of the potential buyers to put their head above the parapet and publicly declare their interest. That way we can go after Rupp and Sparks with real evidence of interest. At the moment it's "I know for a fact but can't tell you" and this plays right into their hands.
As for last night, Rome wasn't built in a day and it may have been a bit disorganised, but it is, far as I can remember, the first real attempt to get disillusioned fans together in a room, and online at the same time. Hats off to the organisers. It's all well and good having a pop, but what do those doing so, propose that we do as a collective?
I wonder if @JonButterfield can dig out his old contact book and resurrect the fly past. It's the one thing Rupp was so afraid of in the first place. It needs to be ready for a big audience, and should we beat Donny tonight, maybe the semi-final (if that's live on sky), would be the perfect opportunity.

 

Nothing worse than someone who knocks others for trying, one of my pet hates in life.

 

Any potential new owners would have to sign a non disclosure agreement before they get anywhere near the club

 

Yeah i noticed that in the comments. A lot of egos were clearly being shown in the comments and its sad that folk with genuine concerns were being pulled on it, like you shouldn't question the club when we are in 18th in league 2.

 

Apparently not from what i was told. I'm guessing @Keefly Bantam has similar info

 

Got chance to look at this properly this morning, I think it highlights really well what appears to be lacking at the club.

 

It was AirAds out of Blackpool mate.

Very professional, great to work with.

It would be quite the story to go back to them, but the key point was Rupp was actually at that game with other Germans.

 

I've been here already this season taking a two month sabbatical. I'm back at this point. I went to Derby with hope of a trip to Wembley and took in 3 or 4 games beyond but can't even muster the enthusiasm to watch tonight and have made alternative plans. My diary is now booked to late March in which Bradford City are not part of. In my sabbatical, I actually enjoyed not being part of a boring, non entertained world, far too full of negatives.

I also applaud those with the energies to fight on and have respect for the likes of @Keefly Bantam and @JonButterfield not withstanding my own son. To be honest, the likes of @Park bantam will get there way and see the club further regress, as they are happy doing nothing, which ultimately damage the club and it's fanbase.

Ironic, my actions are kinda doing the same as Park.

 

"Bantams Banter" and "Bingley Bantams" pissed me off. Condescending set of pricks who are clearly happy with the demise. As is @Park bantam and the like

 

Ideas that I heard were a mass walkout at a specific point in a match, attending a non-league game instead of VP and posting pictures of this and direct contact with SR.

The chair distanced himself from activity that would impact the club, or it's employees/suppliers, directly. Also was against the idea of anything that could be legally problematic such as tennis ball throwing, pitch invasions etc.

I might have missed some other stuff.

 

Yes I noticed their cmments on social media during the meeting. I agree, quite condescending to the people who had actually either turned up or tuned in. But then I guess that's the Bradford City way.
