Protests Planned.

I think if they are blocking the path then they will move it on for safety reason beause if they don't and there is an incident where someone is hurt then they would have to explain why. It would be an easy move for them to past the barriers, other side of the road or to the third location

 

I don't understand what you're talking about here, Fordy.

You think Roger can just tell Sparks to quit or Rupp to sell up? He's spoken at length about how difficult it was to flag up Rahic's behaviour (to Rupp) the last time around, and seems to have spent a lot of time elsewhere this season.

Also, I didn't fall for any BS, you're trying to hard to imagine scenarios. I haven't done Roger any favours at all, but it's one thing to bring a little balance and accept and understand that this isn't a fantasy world and people don't have magical powers. Simply posting Roger's words with his permission doesn't mean anything other than increasing the amount of information available in the public sphere.

You might still want Roger out, but that's not my business, nor am I trying to tell you what to think. But you might at least allow yourself to be informed as I was, while making your decisions.

 

He's done well there, GA.

 

No, I didn’t need informing. It’s bloody clear if you are investing money in to something you want it to benefit yourself. In terms of having an influence- what are? Seriously mate! Of course he does hence why he never gives an option on here about the club or situation because he doesn’t want to upset people at the club. He can’t even say the club is a mess. He can talk to Ryan of course he can!

Sparks needs to leave and everyone needs to get him too.

 

Actually, if you read between the lines, WW has hinted multiple times that 'its someone else's turn' when it comes to protest action against Sparks.

Not exactly a glowing endorsement which you would expect from someone who vehemently supported the current regime...

GA has also taken this tact, so there's clearly a feeling that the fans need to be heard and there's no use fighting the fan base.

 

Good morning guys,

The protest will be carried out legally, and we will comply with police instruction. The protest is a static protest which will last for one hour and then will disperse to North Parade. Our group has tried to take the bull by the horns and deliver some form of action. Quite rightly we had, and continue to have sceptics. I don't think they will ever truly go away. I will say that we are doing this because we truly love the club, and want it available to future generations of Bantams. There is no self agenda, I would resign tomorrow if I could and let someone else take this mantle. But nobody else from a supporter group is prepared to challenge the club so I'm going to do it for a little while longer until we get a resolution that is good for our supporters. Contrary to some people's beliefs, we are not just targeting Ryan Sparks, and we wish him no ill will. However, we are targeting the machinery as a whole that has seen Bradford City move from season to season with no planning, no progression of note and what seems like a desire to walk all over its main assets, its supporters.

We appreciate that only fifty people might turn up on Friday...and we will take it...we had forty five people turn up to our forum and look at what we have done so far...signatures, national media, international media and a protest. We are only just getting started.

Thank you all for your support, the ideas, the advice and for giving me the strength to continue to push. I appreciate you all.

Steve

 

Ryan Sparks has to be the target. Under him this club has gone backwards and while Rupp still in charge of the club and not openly willing the sell then we need a CEO that can drive this club forward on the pitch not making silly decisions like moving the atmosphere section to the lower kop.To create atmosphere you need to have a good side. He’s failed and needs to be accountable.

Rupp is a target but owns the business without any care.

 

I agree Fordy but we look at the machinery overall, Rupp has allowed Ryan Sparks to conduct himself as he has. Sparks has overseen the operational aspects of the club including hiring, recruitment and commercial strategy. It hasn't yielded success and you know the various things that have happened. We need change from a CEO and Owner who seem unwilling to action that.

 

Even with a protest planned Sparks or Rupp haven’t reached out. So, yes the 1st one peaceful but the second one has to be like a Reading kind of protest to get action and results.

Target all sponsors. We need to come together as fan’s because enough is enough now! This league isn’t hard to get out of but if you have a poor board then you struggle because wrong decisions have been made. To be in the position that we are in the league currently is a disgrace. The season was over weeks ago! The pitch is an embarrassment, not owning anything such as a training ground is failing to advance in the modern world. The club is at a standstill. It’s a joke and we to voice our frustration to let the whole world see.

Enough is enough! It’s time to show we care!!

 

Club is not at a standstill.............it's falling like a stone ..

 

It's like you read my mind, Fordy...of course we have had to follow a process which includes diplomatic structure.. however, when I wrote this strategy I looked at a phased approach...if we went too soon, credibility can't be gained and we would not gain support. Go too little and numbers supporting us do not rise. It's been a really hard balancing act because the human aspect of us, and me is to rant, scream and do anything to achieve the objectives. We have sponsors and other things in planning...it's just timing. What we do know is that we have always planned to ramp up the pressure on individuals within the club and use it as leverage. The heat is on right now and I don't think it is an accident that the club is pretty silent right now.

 

Bradford people are too weak. This is clear but now is the time for City fans to highlight they won’t be messed about and willing to sit back and watch the club just die in front of them.

 

I'd give him more than a dig in the ribs. And he is definitely too much of a narcissist. I said that from day one, when he was constantly spamming twitter with his "well done me" posts

 

Nah. As usual the police will be far too busy sat in their hordes on Midland Road "controlling" the away fans

 

I think the majority of us are now agreeing that action needs taking. But to say Bradford people are weak fordy is unfair. Most people want to just go to the footy, go about their business and have a relatively hassle free day. You cannot say they are weak because they don't want to get involved in a static protest, or confront the owner/CEO face to face

 

Narcissist is the perfect word to sum him up. He's a combination of David Brent, Basil Fawlty and CJ from "The Fall & rise of Reginal Perrin". In fact, I'd bet everything I own that he has all three of these in box sets on DVD.

 

We need to remember (Fordy in particular) that this isn’t the French Revolution, we can’t force people to think as we do. If WW thinks they are doing an acceptable job he is allowed that opinion, let’s not target posters. He was poor imo to like the comment from Loyal that he did and I found it unprofessional, but what’s done is done and he doesn’t need tagging every two minutes, his insights are still more valuable than a lot of posts on here, so just let him have his opinion even if you don’t like it.
