    That's so sad @Dennis@Dennis I'm sure Edin & Stefan are well ware of many fans feelings, 30% down on season ticket sales on last year, some might not have renewed because of the increase but I would think they are a very small in minority, they can't kid themselves that everything is fine.
    It's going to be a very testing time for both fans and owners if this season goes tits up, there will be some serious unrest, for me they either change their model or possible put the club up for sale.
    I would'nt try and talk anyone around because I don't think this season will be great, but I'm sure you have all thought about it long and hard.

    You might have just given the green light to a hell of a lot of cancellations.

    I really hope both the ticket office and the credit card company give you short shrift. You have paid to watch 23 home games next season and that is what your friend has paid for and will get. I don't know how next season will pan out, last seasons home games were dreadful including the eight home defeats under Stu ,next season may be better or could be as bad but that's football and the joy and pain of live sport.

    I really don't think there is a queue to buy the club and even if it was true that the likes of Baldwin were interested they won't be able to invest the cash the supporters demand. They will be just relying on cup runs and player sales as this and the last board were.

    I look at what you have typed and can empathise.

    A lot on here (and C&B beforehand) live outside of Bradford. It is not quite as long a journey for me as your friend Chris (unless he walks for two hours). However over a season, then to get to home league games I travel just short of 1400 miles.

    I guess I care more about the long term welfare of the club. It is my club and has been through a succession of owners!

    I also use the opportunity to meet up with friends and family, who I would not readily see if i stopped going to watch City. The social side is very important.

    Finally I guess City gives a lot of grumpy men, a good subject to moan about. ;)

    I didn't say there was a queue, my comment was "It's going to be a very testing time for both fans and owners if this season goes tits up, there will be some serious unrest, for me they either change their model or possible put the club up for sale" I don't think that is an unreasonable comment to make, boy if Edin thought he'd been given a tough time when he sacked Stuart my advice to Edin is to buy a house back in German because you will get criticism for sure if we are in danger of dropping back into league two, and I would be personally be surprised after the time it took the last owners and Parky's guys to get us promoted that the vast majority of fans weren't giving them grief ?.
    I'm not sure your correct with your assumption there is no interest in anyone buying the club, but before anyone can get involved the present owner have got to make it known they want to sell, time will tell nothing surprises me at Valley Parade, and shouldn't you as your an old timer like myself.

    If you emailed them and used #idontbelieveanymore that may strengthen your case.

    In all seriousness why didn't you just ask the club directly or google it instead of adding to the negativity on here? And potentially reducing the player budget for next season to boot.

    Clearly money isn't the issue so why doesn't your friend donate the ticket to a worthwhile cause and turn his negativity into something a tad more positive?

    Did you have a good seat? If it is now up for grabs, then I may well be interested! ;)

    Does it rain in on someone sat there?

    Do you need sunglasses and a baseball cap, because it is in the midland road?:cool:

    You haven't renewed yet, but will you be renewing?
    Personally I haven't renewed yet as I was busy around the original deadline for £169 but I will be renewing. No great rush now and happy to pay the £199 which imo should be the new base price for the new future if we stick to our affordable football policy.

    The more feet that vote the louder the message that is sent.

    I hope they prove us wrong over the summer and have me paying £20 a game, but along with the majority of us I aren’t confident in them and I’m putting my money where my mouth is.

    If city fans want a continuation of the past 5 months then great, buy your season tickets and let the owners know you’ll be there to line their pockets no matter what.

    Not getting into another argument but it is one poor period over the years there have been many many worse times

    Do you really think they are lining their pockets with our low price season tickets that only give us a mid table budget?

    I'm another, I didn't even waver and I've had an ST for decades. I'll be going to VP but I'll also be going to Farsley, Guiseley, Harrogate, BPA, Halifax & Thackley so not many VP games...... I am looking forward to it.

    Line their pockets? We are practically given tickets.
