    We are all confused to some extent Fordy. There is uncertainty around things regarding our football club. This is partly because yes they aren't always the best at keeping us supporters informed but also a lot of things at the moment are not only out of their hands, they are constantly changing and will continue to do so until a reliable vaccine is available is found. These are very uncertain times.
    I will go watch the games when we are allowed back, under whatever conditions are imposed on us by both the club and public health guidelines. However I know I will have to accept that things won't be the same, no cheering or singing (maybe just polite hand clapping, Happy Clappers will be okay with that!), my after match beers on North Parade will probably be out of the question. We will all have to adapt for the foreseeable future.

    That is certainly how I understood it, Rod.

    In fact, that was about the only part of the statement that seemed crystal clear.

    We al appreciate an update but it was badly written when less would have been more to a certain extent. They need to get this right they are staring down the barrel of about 5000 season ticket sales at most, people just wont bother, there is more to life than covid-19 face mask and social distanced footy spectating.

    i hope they proof read the next update for ‘plain english’

    Is it just me but the message from the club was fine. After all, they don't have all the answers themselves and one has to appreciate a message, with the season less than 4 weeks away.

    Now, I'm one for giving abuse when things (in my eyes) are wrong with a rotten leek but in this case....

    Where have I said anything is easy in these uncertain times nothing is easy but companies like sky will make it as easy as they can for supporters to watch their teams as not everyone wants to watch Premier league football but will still be sky customers so they adapt to that market aswell. So then coming to a deal with iFollow to show football at 3pm on a Saturday..
    So we will have to wait and see if they do get the go ahead but you wrote it off from the beginning with the no chance comment.

    Sky are a commercial business. They sell advertising. There is a potential market if they have i-Follow available as a number of supporters/fans will watch and probably some people who just like to watch football that is different to Premier/Championship fayre. I guess it will come down to the technical issues about making the matches available. In some ways having all the games available at the same time means they could make the advertising package available to all games and a results/summarising section at the beginning/half time/end.

    Some people on here think we are vastly under pricing so they will be+pleased to pay the £150 for half the matches. Surely

    Gets me that Sky won't show live football 3.00pm Saturday but will at times that real fans are either on their way to a game and also when we are on our way home after...

    Absolute farce at this point.

    What is the death rate here in Bradford, 1 a week? Literally more dying on the roads.

    Forget cases for now, how lethal is this thing? At the moment, not very.

    That's actually a UEFA rule that Sky as domestic rights holders have to adhere to. Im sure if they were allowed to, they would.

    Well if this board is typical of the whole fan base then it won’t be far off it’s fantastic value if it comes off

    57% of 12k if that's how many we sold last season is 6840
    Long way off 10k in my eyes.

    I agree but I have just come off an international business call in the Caribbean and they're in lockdown again with only 12 deaths and 532 infections.

    28 day lockdown
    No school until December

    Australia in lockdown also and other places.

    So if other countries are acting this way i feel a second lockdown here is close!

    I can not see Bradford and it's Leeds Rd not having matches played behind close doors next season.

    People buying season tickets at this moment might as well just give me their £150.. mugging themselves right off!
