The Voice - Match preview Bradford City vs Notts County Tuesday 19th March @ 7.45 (Rearranged)

Says Bradfords answer to Michael Fish.

 

The forum does throw up samples of those that don’t know what day it is so makes little difference to them?

 

It’s more than £30m nowadays.

 

with a username like you use you don't half moan about the club .

 

You do realise its fans like you and me who are holding the club back, just how dumb is that sort of comment.

 

We could build a new stadium with better substructure, drainage etc in a new location with better transport. The Castleford Tigers proposed stadium at J32 was circa £15m and may still go ahead once a viable option is developed in the adjacent land (was going to be a retail park).

We could do this with the Bulls with proactive owners, helpful council and the appropriate understanding around leaving VP (not an easy choice I know). The Richard Dunn site is perfect.

 

I don't think the Richard Dunn site could be used now as the Richard Dunn building is now listed.

 

£15 million would get you something similar to what Salford have got. For a stadium with the capacity and facilities of Valley Parade look closer toward £50 million.

 

Colchester down your way cost £14 million back in 2008. That's with a capacity of just over 10,000.

 

I think we have every right to moan when a critical component of a football match (the pitch) is not fit for purpose and this subsequently prevents the event from taking place.

 

I was involved in the Cas scheme professionally. It is possible ... although we probably want higher capacity.

 

Sorry RT, I was referring to their debt pile, not the cost of the ground.

 

I remember visiting what was the Kirklees stadium when it was being built over 30 years ago for a construction project at College. It was only three sides then, the cost them was over £10 million (forget if it was £12 or £16), they were putting the piles in for the stand opposite the main one. And costs have rocketed in the last few years. You wouldn't be getting any change out of £30/35 million minimum.

 

And it needs £m’s to repair it I believe?

 

The city centre , manningham and the surrounding areas are shitholes and the main reason investors don’t touch us with a barge pole or the city for that matter.
As for the council, they’ve been skint for years and have less of a pot to piss in than us

 

The weather forecasters were saying its been the wettest February on record, surely even you can see that, I think we all get it you're not happy but if it's not the pitch its away tickets, our poor attendances on match days, you never let up, then call yourself Loyal is streching it a bit.

 

But through all those things you mention, I’m always there when others are spouting shite about boycotts and not renewing their season tickets. I think you need to get the dictionary out pal and read up what loyalty is.

 

Yes Loyal Bronco has a ring to it, don't talk to me about loyalty you have the wrong fan, my loyalty started back in the late 50s when getting to games wasn't just a matter of getting in the car and driving to Valley Parade, the fans you mention don't need to explain their reasons for feeling like they do about not attending or renewing their season tickets but you seem to think having a user name like yours is some sort of badge of honour, with regards your asking me to read a dictionary.

Aren't you the guy who thinks going non-league could be the answer going forward, the new Bradford City rising like a phoenix, never giving a thought to the fundamental questions like where we would play because we certainly couldn't afford to stay at Valley Parade without a massive reduction in rent.
