    5,000 s/t holders didn’t turn up tonight. Air of despair & resignation rather than anger in the ground. It really is soul destroying, heart breaking. Protests NEED to happen at the next home game & every game until these two are gone.

    Bradford City Supporters Trust & Bingley Bantams need to sod off. Their support for this regime will not be forgotten.

    Denied the move he wanted after being told he could go.

    Edin backtracking on a promise to pay for the team Xmas party that left McMahon out of pocket, having organised and shelled out.

    Probably some other shit too.

    I sadly disagree. I argued blue in the face with those around me tonight of the tangible issues in front of us and the potential issues behind the scenes. I was called negative, fecking negative.

    Beyond, you have to believe this but each season some teams will be relegated..maybe it's our turn

    Maybe your right on being relegated but the manner in which it will be achieved is beyond reparing with this board.

    How much contact do the players have with those outside the football side of a club though? I don’t really buy that the players are under performing directly because of the board. At most it’s because of the board appointing the wrong manager. It’s not like replacing the board is going to see an upswing in their performances and for them to become mentally strong again like does happen at times changing manager.

    Things happening on the more 'business' side of a club may be reasons for concern and reasons for maybe wanting a change of ownership but when good players aren’t performing that’s another matter altogether. There is something else wrong that’s stopping these players performing

    You post like Josh Wright plays. Telling everyone else what to do but doing nothing yourself.

    The summer was a shambles,
    NO idea who to appoint and no pre season plans to boot.
    All we got was how the fuxking grass was growing daily.
    To be honest I thought like alot of others some of the signings were excellent ,
    But how wrong were we.
    Abbott was ill I know but it's just not worked on the recruitment side for 2 years now.
    We are like every ref we seem to get this season SHITE.

    A not wholly tongue-in-cheek suggestion from afar... Maybe not very original, but another way to reinforce any chants:

    While it might be difficult to take banners into the ground, anyone can wear a t-shirt under another shirt/jumper/whatever, a specially prepared t-shirt carrying one large letter, white on black or vice versa for best visibility. For the most basic "Edin Out" message, you'll need seven people. Arrange it so you sit together in proper order, and at a set time all stand and uncover! For added complexity, have different letters on the backs to make up a second message, and turn around after a while.

    Midland-roaders would be the best for this, given the location across from the directors/owners/fancy seats, the upper Kop next.

    You are bloody pathetic. Do you realise Bingley Bantams have raised over £12000 for local charities in the last 18 month ?? I don't know what your issue is but you need to get a grip of yourself.

    From a club within touching distance of championship football to a laughing stock, a club that aspires so be like Accrington Stanley,

    I wish we were like Accrington Stanley.

    Something a bit like this?

    That’s Celtic in the 1990s.

    This will have been easier to do and more effective on a terrace. It might be difficult to do something as effective in a modern, all seater stadium.

    Yes, that's what I was thinking of. Agree that all-seater stadia make it more difficult, but if our attendances keep plummeting, there won't be any trouble in getting the relevant people to be together in a stand. Banners can be confiscated, plastic pigs/bratwurst/whatever too if found, and throwing stuff on the pitch could lead to more trouble -- something like this would be one way to make a visible protest inside the ground and stay out of trouble.

    Posts like this means nothing will happen. A supporter who actually believes it’s the players fault.
    Unbelievable!

    Players will always let you know if something is badly wrong. This is a whole new squad of shot players letting us know something is wrong.
