    Not the one in Thornton mate.
    My Grand daughter used to work there, so the wife always used her staff discount card, still cost an arm and a leg
    The wife could not keep out of the place, no matter how many times i coughed the word ALDI.

    It did used to be much cheaper then I noticed the prices going up. So very rarely go up there anymore. But they do the most amazing Greek yogurt but haven’t had it in for ages.

    Generalising and calling a group of people morons is probably ok. These people otherwise known as the non renewal gang.
    Targeting an individual and calling them a prick is a bit different. I’ve got several words I could target you with but I’ll refrain.

    There is a third camp

    I think this thread has moved off topic on several occasions. The diversion to the Cullingworth, Thornton viaducts, (austerity pricing) farm shops and speed cameras is probably quite amusing in its own way.

    However I think we can now draw a line on issues of ‘calling’ individuals or groups, and insulting each other.

    Perhaps focus on the elasticity of Sparks going on a Monday (yet to be defined which particular Monday) which is the title of this thread and should be the main issue.

    I’m referring less to the views we hold generally, and more about the polar ends of current mood amongst fans.

    Yeah Conteh he was called. Sold him to Bristol R in January and he's hit L1 and carried on his form it seems.

    No please don’t, please show those who don’t already know your true colours. Unlike you I don’t offend easily, just don’t like the hypocrisy of it all.

    Yeah, definitely makes me laugh when words like "toxic" and "offensive" are thrown around on here year it's so sterilised that we even got rid of the cartoon emojis of poo!

    I don’t offend easily either, I’m not from the snowflake generation.
    You dont know me so cannot possibly know my ‘true colours’
    If I or anyone else on here has an opinion they are entitled to voice it without being shouted down.
    Maybe it’s an age thing.

    By general social media standards, this place is the polar opposite of ‘toxic’.

    People whose views are out of step with the mainstream on any forum are likely to feel targeted or criticised, but that in itself doesn’t make the forum toxic. Being a moderate progressive lefty on a largely right wing forum, I get this treatment on the more political threads. But compared to some of the stuff on Twitter etc it’s a kindergarten.
    There’s always going to be a spread of understanding, intelligence, articulation etc on any forum. You just have to accept that some people’s method of argument is a bit more blunt than others’.

    Come on then, what exactly am I being called out on?
    I stand by what I say that the dissenters will drive this club into non league, not drive Rupp out.

    The other thing I was slated for back in November was for my criticism of the pitch not being fit for purpose after the first bit of drizzle and that we’d see more postponed games. I was shouted down and told to stop knocking the club at every opportunity and to change my avatar.

    Now I back the club by renewing my ST and refusing to take part in some petty letter writing and I’m called a happy clapper and part of the problem that whilst fans like me exist and keep funding failure, it will never progress.

    These comments may not have come from you but you’ve said things of similar ilk.

    Too right Steve. Just look at the various "Bradford Appreciation/ Memory/ regeneration" FB pages, where someone posts a nice warm feel good picture or post and within ten minutes all the Bradford hating trolls are on there slagging the poster and the post off.

    As Alan Brazil says (on Talksport) if you don't like it (listen to) Radio Four.

    It’s Tuesday and Sparks is still in post.
    This thread is now pointless IMO.
