    Hi Glenn please don't let Manny Dominguez represent anything on our behalf he isn't intelligent enough to represent the fans. Also does Julian have a direct email address I can contact him on please.

    A little bit disrespectful that in my opinion. No need for personal insults

    He does have half a point, intellect is great but when written into 50 page letters which doesn't represent what the fans you are meant to be campaigning for what's the point in it?

    Isn’t he only representing the members of FoBC?

    as far as I know, Manny is part of the Supporters trust, rather than the Friends of Bradford City.

    Whatever the rights and wrongs of the organisation he represents he is still a city fan trying to do his best in his way. Nothing wrong in criticisms of that but personal insults are not necessary

    I think the problem is Park is that he is a trust which is meant to represent City fans, do you think he does that? I've been over this before I think he deserves credit as he gives up his own time to do that. What I can't give credit for is not representing what he's supposed to.

    Manny is an ok guy that means well but is unable to separate his personal left wing unionised view from any other part of his life,

    When Edin took over I could understand FoBC taking a sabbatical, as their set up was very much to positively support and work with the Club, and that became virtually impossible under Edin.

    What I did find strange was that, towards the end, BCST tried to 'cosy up' to Edin when, in my opinion they should have been doing what supporters trusts do best, standing up for supporters, which sometimes involves taking a stand against a 'rogue' Chairman; Blackpool Supporters Trust being a good example.

    I do believe there is room for all these diverse supporters groups and, given yesterday's statement, hopefully we'll see a much more united front going forward.

    One of the items for discussion with the Supporters Board was the launch of a club lottery. This has now been implemented and is ready for launch next season.

    Further details will be announced with a launch event but the prize funds will be considerably higher than currently on offer. The scheme we are running has been run very successfully at Burnley and Portsmouth for many years.

    Mick Shackleton has done a lot of work over the months to bring this to fruition.

    Mention was made on another thread about non-receipt of emails/alerts and how do we opt in to get club communications.

    I've had a meeting today with our CRM providers to find the most commercially effective and compliant solution.

    As a result, we'll be updating records of fans who have bought tickets over recent years. Then we'll be sending a GDPR email to confirm that we've done this, giving people the chance to opt out. This should be sent in the next two days.

    This will allow us to reach circa 30,000 people rather than 4,000 that we currently do.

    This was one of the major problems we faced when trying to force change at the top when Edin was in charge. too many people (the supporters trust and others) were trying to be his friend, defend him and kiss up to him instead of making a stand. when enough people eventually mobilised and tried to arrange protests things changed. it could have been done sooner, and before we were in such a complete and utter hopeless situation.

    BCST are a disgrace. They do not represent me or my club. They should be ousted and banned from VP until they apologise for misrepresentation of a real Bradford City fan. They should hang their heads in shame.
