    A lot of whether fans renew or not will be decided IMO by how we finish the season, mathematically we could still get a play off place, yes always the optimist, if we see an improvement in performances and results I believe most Bradford City fans would renew purely because we offer cheap football.
    Many people would/could not pay the average price for a league two club which is around £335, being a Stockport County fan would cost £405 and being a Grimsby Town fan would cost £420.

    Proud to show my support for the new group of over 700+ supporters who have taken 'limited' action at this stage to show our displeasure at how OUR club is being run. Rupps operating criteria is already failing, by Sparks own admission on average salary budgets from when he took over to now. It is not working now. To do nothing is to go backwards...we have seen it over the last years....

    But I’d argue that boycotting and then subsequently paying for iFollow is defeating the object of the purpose of the boycott as 100% of monies from iFollow go to the club.

    It could be put to the fans as the original offer that Julian made back in 2007 I believe, if we get x amount of fans to pledge there support to the club the price will be X if it falls below that pledge it will be Y.

    I applaud the Bradford City independants. They have galvanised the City faithful who are sick and tired of being in this league and the BS and lack of honesty coming out of VP. We are being treated as the cash cow. We see the ones that are keeping this club going not Rupp or Sparks but us the City Fans. We now know that our plan as such is not to achieve promotion but just to remain in the EFL and live within our means.

    Yes there are risks to any action that undermines the ST sales. My question to all the fans is fairly simple; Do you want to carry on like this? I don’t, I think we are capable of much better.

    Sounds like an Andy Dufresne #shawshank strategy where you keep sending letters week after week until finally years later someone listens.
    There’s no harm in trying I suppose.

    You will be thanking them soon when SR realises the depth of feeling and that there is a real possibility he will have to put his hands in his pocket to prop up the club (to protect his asset) and that those he is giving the money to don't know how to spend it wisely. If that doesn't shake him to look to sell asap then nothing will and by default the punters will continue to wane and the club will ultimately continue to regress naturally. Look at recent actual league attendances-no where near the official figure quoted. You may be sticking your head in the sand hoping it will all get better soon. Fortunately there are others who are looking to the future and are trying to make it a much better one than it currently looks.

    Keep with it pal some loons will try to put scorn on it because they are simply happy for this mess to go on .................things need changing and if that means not renewing my season ticket then so be it.

    I simply wont throw my hard earned cash at a Twit that stood back and did nothing when all that hard work from 2012 to 2018 was ruined. The mans a fooking disgrace and folk want to make life easier for him by funding his epic fook ups.
    Folk will try and put this on the back burner because we won yesterday just keep this going now.
    The damage these twats have caused could destroy the next generation of City fans time to act now while we can

    Rupp out
    Gent out
    Sparks out

    The shots on target stat for yesterday is interesting:
    1st half: Wrexham 4 - 2 Bradford City
    2nd half: Wrexham 1 - 6 Bradford City

    As I've said before, we only have Sparks word for it that that is the 'vision'. That's why we really need to hear from Rupp to either corroborate what Ryan said last Wednesday, or to let us know that his vision is still to get us back to where we were when he bought us.

    They had a lot of efforts, five yards wide or five yards over.
    Bar the two headers in the first half, they didn't create a lot of clear opportunities.

    I’m not sticking my head in the sand pal, I hate where we’ve dropped to in 6 years but I just don’t agree that harming the clubs finances and risking an even further decline is the way forwards.
    I’m happy to support constructive dialogue with Rupp though.

    So you support constructive dialogue with Rupp and yet mock the group who are trying to initiate this and make something happen!

    Bet you win every argument you have as you back both sides!

    Agree they had 63+ possession overall but when it came down to shots on target they obviously left their (we never get beat at the Stok Cae Ras) fans frustrated because as you say they weren't making Walker work.
    Wrexham shots17, 5 on target, City shots 10 8 on target.
