    Well I know that and you know that but many people just can’t seem to grasp the concept.

    Last year the club was gushing at this time over the number of ST sales.
    This year it's

    As I said earlier the club is doing a really good job of pi$$ing ST holders off and I doubt any sort of campaign will actually now be needed to suggest people don't renew their ST. I think a lot have already decided. Park seems happy for their to be less fans in the ground and on here. Defend him/her as you will. Quite bizarre.

    Where has anyone said they’d be happy with less fans in the ground.
    I want everyone to renew, even at the higher prices but some are making their decision to withdraw their support.

    Not happy with it at all however I am sure there is room to save money whilst still improve the performance

    You have openly slagged off fans and hoped that less attend games. Did you forget you said that?

    I’m not sure that’s accurate. Reducing funding can only mean reduced performance.

    So you're implying the league table is in order of funding?

    @Park bantam@Park bantam you are excelling yourself today with barely disguised insulting behaviour towards your fellow fans. You think it would be better at VP if what is left of the fans as they will be committed. Now you are suggesting that traffic on here will slow down too so that you can reign supreme. Maybe we should ask @king karl@king karl to make it a condition of taking part of this forum that all participants to be committed ST holders?

    Your arrogance and your potted analysis of what will happen is ludicrous and you might like to apply for a job in North Korea, they only allow one point of view as well.

    This is the same @Park bantam@Park bantam who said if the worst happens and we go down to the National league his support would end so his loyalty is not all he’s making it out to be.
    He’s a City supporter-but only if we are in the EFL.

    This is terrible, on Tuesday, the amount of City fans attending could be very similar to the away fans. We're in a sorry state.
    Just like the wonderful years BFG gave and then the aftermath... I put the same onus on Rupp...
    Im so angry..
    This club should be playing the likes of Birmingham in Championship.
    Usless bastards, hope they fk off soon.
    Next season im taking my Grandson, before I put that club in his heart, they need to stop been winkers and match the fans aspirations...

    Well no, that’s obviously not the case but you are being deliberately argumentative if you are trying to suggest that clubs with the biggest budgets don’t win promotion more often than clubs with lower budgets.

    The budget does matter, but we're clearly not getting value for money.

    If the budget goes down, that doesn't mean performance absolutely has to go down.

    It means we need to get better at what we're doing and be more efficient.

    Sparks loves to waste money on rampant sacking sprees and total squad overhauls. It's a waste of time and money.

    Agreed, the budget hasn’t been used well at all. Sparks has appointed the wrong managers throughout his tenure when only 1 candidate should have been considered and that’s Steve Evans.
    Some fans would rather we be where we are than give him the job.

    So you're openly saying that in your opinion, Keefly has had his pants pulled down by the club, i.e. implying that he has been hoodwinked, ripped off and had the urine extracted from him........the further inference in that then being that ALL season ticket holders have as well!!

    You're currently advocating that supporters should renew and they aren't 'loyal' if they don't but clearly think everyone's a mug for doing it last year!! Fantastic rationale that....Very strange, very strange.....

    Just banter, I’m not serious.
    However, after a season of reaching the playoffs I think it was a fair expectation of the fans that we’d improve on that this season and nobody expected Hughes to rip up the script the way he did.
    So for that reason alone yes I think we’ve all had our pants pulled

    Cut through the banter, mate, what's your actual stance on things?

    Would you be prepared to leave VP empty as a protest, even if you renewed?

    Yes, in an attempt to relieve the noose from the clubs neck that is high rent and terrible pitch, I would be prepared to renew my season ticket and for the club to temporarily play its home fixtures at any suitable football stadia within 1 hour or 30 miles of Bradford.

    You're not a superfan Park, just a bit of an embarrassment
