    So you think only about 5% of our fan base are unhappy with how our club is being run then park? Because that is what myself and @Captain Grumpy@Captain Grumpy were debating

    If you believe that, then either you live in cloud cuckoo land or you are Ryan Sparks himself

    No falling out here mate, maybe a heated debate from time to time but we’re all here for the same cause at the end of the day

    That’s what I love about this website. If none of us had differing opinions and beliefs, morals, standards etc then I think the world would be a very boring place!

    The amount of people attending the forum could have fitted in the rovers return snug

    Nice one park but sadly way off the mark
    You missed at least a zero out of your earlier post as to how many are unhappy

    Park got a bit orgasmic when he thought he'd found a friend and a fello Sparkarian!

    And so what?

    Looking at the bigger picture (something you never do) questions must be asked as to WHY another supporters group has been formed. If the club was ran with a plan say for the next 5 years and actually communicated with the fans once in a while then there wouldn’t be any of this discontent. That is all the majority of fans ask for, why the hell do you have such a problem with that park?

    Wasn’t we one of the teams near the top of our league for communications. We were consulted on prices and recently on atmosphere and there are plenty of other examples. I have always said if there are people out there who have the ideas and the resources to take the club forward they would be welcome with open arms.And it’s no good talking about the cost of the club because without the means and meaningful negotiations nothing will happens.

    Yes, there is plenty of communication coming out of the club, but it's erratic at best and with some glaring gaps.

    A few examples of missing pieces of communication that have been mentioned on this forum very recently:
    • Nothing from Stefan on his/the Club's ambition;
    • Nothing about any 5/10 year plan; and
    • No/poor communication in the lead up to weather threatened matches.

    You actually believe that ? Wasn’t you complaining that you’d had a wasted journey when the game was postponed and the club should have said something earlier ?

    For comparison why don't you start a supporters group that is totally happy with the way the club is being run and compare the numbers. Assuming those that prefer inaction are by default happy with the club is wrong. You look on here and you can count on the fingers of one hand those that currently won't have a bad word said about the club.

    Would any business want to risk losing 5% of their business? You make out like it’s a small percentage but I doubt the club want to lose a single customer, higher prices or not. Or I hope they certainly wouldn’t have such a nonchalant attitude to the discontent.

    Isn’t that the trust according to some they have over 500. By the way I have no problem with any supporters association it’s people who care for the club but it doesn’t mean you have to agree with everything

    The word that I keep going to is 'complacent'.

    I don't want the club to fail or stop making money, but I think the just assume everyone will keep eating the garbage being served up while they tell themselves there's no need to push for promotion. Stability is the answer, and I have no interest in ambitionless dross from the worst CEO and owner combination in my lifetime.

    Stay in the league and don't go bust.

    Little did we know stay in the league means don't go down or up.

    It's a Bantams thing.
