    That's the point though, you're just giving your point of view and guessing based on what we were told by Rahic. If we ask the question at the meeting then we potentially get a definitive (or even different) answer on what went wrong and what the available options are.

    I suspect you are probably right in terms of cost and the willingness of Rupp to invest but if you don't ask ........

    Fair enough, yes, it's just my opinion, but it's potentially a negative if we end up siphoning money away from the first team.

    We shouldn't be using that money on a League Two pitch, nobody else at this level does as far as I'm aware, it's just not financially viable.

    We can't claim were the Arsenal Invincibles in need of a pristine hybrid super pitch with perfect drainage.

    Even if we had that, our lads will be playing on a bog the following week anyway.

    I'd pick my battles, but I know it's going to get raised no matter what, so time for me to drop out of this debate. But these questions are why I have no interest in attending one of these meetings.

    You can suggest your own questions? It's an open forum and no one persons issues would be discounted out of hand I imagine? Perhaps they'd take priority over the pitch issues if they were deemed important enough?

    The pitch is back to what it was a couple of years ago. Just a thought the club is situated only a few miles for one of the leading sport ground research and development companies in the country is there a possibility of some sponsorship deal which could benefit both parties

    Been consulted. See 3rd April 2018 “In order to ensure the club knew the full extent of the problems, the Sports Turf Research Institute in Bingley were employed to carry out a full survey to confirm the reasons behind the pitch deterioration”. https://www.bradfordcityfc.co.uk/news/2018/april/club-commits-to-pitch-work/

    "Media group" lends into my question if someone wouldnt mind raising it..

    How long does the current radio leeds commentary deal run for? There have been away games this year that people have been unable to listen to due to us being shunted on the AM/MW frequency. Are we going to have to travel back to 1980 to find a non digital radio or Can a deal be struck to perhaps get us onto BCB radio to recieve coverage from them?

    Mercs have AM on their radios so at least one poster on here won't be slumming it in a Fiesta rust bucket! ;)

    Remember our Richard after the Mohammed Ali fight interviewed in the shower, a lot of you know's then . Don't think we would have taken the Mickey out of Richard.

    Didnt rochdale do this last year when they got a cup replay? Got them a free pitch from the FA as another delay would have buggered the fixture list up

    It’s ironic when Rochdale spent £500,000 on relaying their pitch at the beginning of February 2018, they were second bottom of League One, eleven points from safety.

    They escaped relegation at the end of the season by a single point.

    Surely there is some sort of mystical story here? ;)
