    I am 12 months ahead of the game here as didn't renew for this season as had no faith in the direction we were heading. At the moment nothing is likely to change my mind but happy to be reconvinced

    16k to 18k fans turn up every home match. For what?

    Rupp and Sparks need to understand we can’t be treated as mugs. Rupp turns up about 2-5 games a season if that and he lives in Germany.

    Sparks should do the right thing and step down as CEO and Rupp should sell up. Both won’t be they expect us to rock up and do what we do each week.

    Nothing will change unless we vote with our feet. Something for everyone to think about.!

    Well BBB, according to Alexander on WY Sport, we dominated the game and played on the front foot.
    The bloke is getting like the rest, after the past few games I'm reverting to my 'meh' at his appointment.
    I initially wasn't impressed with his appointment but he did win me round - now????

    I am honestly unsure right now. I am sick to death of seeing us get beaten easily at home. I don't attend away games anymore so only have home games to "enjoy" live. Ifollow is alright but not quite the same as being there.

    We just do not seem to have a plan that we are sticking with. RS has to now be looking at his tenure and perhaps looking to let someone else steer the rudderless ship that is Bradford City. Whilst we have become more or less a self serving club in terms of raising finances we don't half spaff it away with apparent ease. We are never going to be promoted out of this league with the way players are recruited.

    We need to drop this big club syndrome that is a millstone around our neck and just focus on being a proper football club. Soon attendances will wane again and despite 16,500 being officially announced we won't be touching 10K at games. Its tiresome hearing new signings banging on about how big the support is. It has NOT helped us one bit over the last 10 years in the league. Here we are sat mid table in the shittest of leagues with 16,500 poor souls witnessing that trash yesterday. When their third went in I haven't seen the ground empty as fast for a long time.

    You're right, but the exodus was faster than I have ever seen before....

    You need to put him in touch with @Park bantam@Park bantam who is literally down the coast at Filey. Perhaps a Car share?

    I admire reading how far some fans travel to home games, you really are top fans.

    I don't think I would have the appetite to travel so far these days.

    Its becoming a chore travelling from 3 miles or so up the road!

    Mixed comments so far as expected and that's fine. Like some on here I started supporting City in the old fourth division. Cooke,Podd et al. The expectations were low then and you accepted that. After all we weren't a big club. Fast forward to present and some perceive us as a big club due to our days in the Premiership. However, regarding match day entertainment, and I'm talking about what I witness as a spectacle on the pitch, then tbh it's really no better than the Cooke, Podd et al days!

    I've watched City of and on since the mid fifties when I used to go with my dad, who used to lift me over the turnstiles down Burlington Terrace, I was only five. I've had a season ticket since I retired in 2015, I am now 74. Usually on a match day I leave home a good one hour and forty five minutes to secure a parking space within a reasonable walking distance of the ground. I usually arrive back home around five thirty . I'm sure there are lots of other supporters who travel further and show a lot more commitment to support City then I do but my commitment, and I'm sure many others, is starting to wear a bit thin.
    Personally I think we need someone above Sparks who has been around in football and has some serious connections, someone that can perhaps put a stop to wasting money on long contracts, injury prone players and Derbyshire type signings

    Not sure if the mists of time have clouded me somewhat, but I would say the days of Ces and big Joe were far more entertaining.

    Season after season of false promises, underachieving and basic bullshit from Sparks is really starting to take its toll on a lot of fans, even the die hards. I draw a lot of parallels with the council…clueless CEO, no direction, no money, countless failures year on year. I have always said summat has to change, even on the law of averages - but it simply never does

    Extremely frustrating times indeed

    It wont change while folk are happy or willing to put up with this shit ..............imagine if 5k simply didnt renew?????i bet Rupp would suddenly become interested if his club was gonna start costing him money .............sadly folk will continue to let this sham go on and owner who doesnt care,a ceo whose good at sponsorship deals but nothing else and a recruitment team that may bring in the odd good signing but flood it out with injury prone players or over the hill signings.

    I know now that i wont be there unless something happens at the top call me a turncoat whatever , ive been going 36 years ive had my share of relegations ive even be round the club when we didnt have a pot to pee in, but at least you knew that throughout them years it was in the hands of folk who cared despite there mistakes ............. but this guy simply wants you to pay for his club and simply hope we get lucky and get promoted.

    Him and his barsteward partner created this sham so its about time he came and sorted it out
