    So full of shit is the supporters board

    They should be putting Sparks on a pedestal and asking what the exact relationship he has with Kadima sports, why he chose them for the Spain trip, and the reason for not using them again, instead of just casually gliding over the subject and swiftly moving onto the next

    It seems like as long as the LGTQYDIFN++ box is ticked, that is the priority when in reality the majority of fans couldn't give a flying feck :*@

    Sparks is like Sunak, telling everyone they have never had it so good when in truth it's a complete shitshow.

    They should be dissolved for what little purpose they serve

    The new independent group have achieved a hell of a lot more in such a short space of time. They have a clear plan and strategy, and aren’t afraid to ask the questions we all want answering

    A TRUE supporters group

    The Supporters Board would be OK (within its remit), if it was working with a functional football club.

    But, as you say, they are serving little purpose at the moment, as they are having to work with a dysfunctional club.

    Can you point me in the right direction to the new independent supporters club website.

    Are you referring to the guys who put together an online petition?

    What have they actually achieved?

    The first open protest has been arranged for Fridays home game V Tranmere by the ISG.

    They are now the largest Bradford City supporters group and now have a voice. The guy running it has been ill for the last month or so but is now back in the saddle.

    Isn't Bantam talk the largest city supporter group

    Unless I'm missing something

    A few forum threads won't do a thing. Get something organised. Like a fly past etc

    You know what rod, when you shoot from the hip and send passive-aggressive replies like the one above, you can make yourself look very silly

    I can only assume you are an active member of the Supporters Board, based on that reaction

    As posted by others, they have already organised a protest and are representing the concerns of long standing supporters, and getting us some media attention. This can only be a good thing for the future of this club and I cannot see why any supporter would begrudge that

    No l am not an ‘active member’ or indeed a member of the Supporters Board. I asked straightforward questions, and it is as simple as that. No adjectives employed and no assumptions attached. Your comments are unfounded.

    I'm pretty sure the following stock answers will be given for these.

    - Fan discontent/planned protest

    Teams go through different periods of form, no one was complaining last year.

    - Ownership/Strategic direction

    The club is sustainable and on a sound financial footing.

    - Current form and its impact on season ticket sales

    Many people wait till the deadline to purchase tickets, we will get a better idea of where we standing at the end of April.

    - atmosphere section move

    It was clearly communicated via the clubs social media channels requesting feedback, those in B block who weren't aware would do well the engage on social media

    - condition of pitch

    This is the issue of a third party.

    The supporters board will all comment on the selection of biscuits made available for the meeting, slap each other on the back and book the next month's meeting in the diary, then take to social media to praise the work of the club.

    :joy: Never a truer word spoken

    I have never understood what the SB actually accomplish in their meetings, except take minutes and publish them - something anyone can do. They don't ask questions like they should do. They are supposed to be a go-between

    On that basis, they do not represent me

    I have more confidence in Ryan Sparks than I have in the supporters board. If they were on Star Trek, they would be Klingons.

    Yes from what I've read of them they sound like a group who don't want to offend, gathering before the meet up with Ryan and asking if this or that question sounds inflammatory should we ask another, I might to be a mile off but that's the way they come across to me, not exactly the Jeremy Paxman's of supporters clubs committes.

    Do they have a forum where they discuss, get the views of other fans etc. Just asking because I don't know. What's the structure beyond "the board"?
