Hopefully it will priced lower than our 1966 Club

 

There will be plenty for this forum.
One upmanship, I heard the news breaking before you.

 

I thought it was replacement of 1911 club so didn’t bother reading the details

 

I think that should be our new club badge.

About time we modernised it.

 

there has always been an option to pay more. Most people who want the price increase want it increasing across the board as they believe it is too cheap.

 

There was an initiative a few years ago where fans could donate/pay more if they wanted for a “fighting fund”. Not sure if that’s been a thing in the last 3-4 years though.

 

So I've followed the link to buy, and now I have to log in. And it's not the same details as my ifollow log in. So I set up a new account, and it says I'm already registed. I've forgotten my password (if I even had one) and it asks for my customer number/email. So I put in my email address, and it says that's the incorrect customer number. So now I'm at a dead end. Don't they want my money?!

 

Did you have a season ticket previously and password was your postcode

 

Utterly bonkers.

 

I agree entirely, I’m talking about the initiative a few years ago (pre-Rupp). It was well known and advertised at the time that fans could put in extra if they wanted and it would go direct to the playing budget.

 

Was this a Rhodes thing?

Look football is very simple. Buy assets then generate revenue on the back of it. Never decrease the value to sponsors or investors.

Rupp doesn’t want to do that. He’s an excuse of an owner! Is he seeking investment? Does he care? Make your own minds up. Mine is made.

 

Why do we need Sheik Mansour?

Look Rupp isn't a fool for sure but he clearly didn't do his research into what buying a football takes and has found out the hard way. However, now lets not cover it all up and make excuses! He isn't interested and we have to generate money other ways. Rupp has 4m. If its in assets or cash in the bank. He has 4m. He just doesn't care. Fine but don't expect fans then to but money in his pocket.

Rhodes sold the club in faith for Rupp to take forward. He hasn't done that but lets not make out you need a Sheik Mansour to grow a football club in the right way and to take an interest in the City. Bollocks!

 

Well if my opinion that everyone is making wild assumptions is JUST an opinion, then someone must have evidence that the club wished to increase ST prices in order to bolster the transfer budget?

The fact is, the club is saying the OPPOSITE, which actually makes my opinion a fact; those really are just baseless assumptions.

 

Yes it was during Rhodes tenure . The Mcall fighting fund raised the vast sum of £3000. Just about cover a player for a week.

 

Very good post, outlining all the potential uses for any additional income. I wouldn't know what the plans for the price increase actually are, but I can bet it's not just 'making the squad more competitive'.

Maybe it will be 'making the club more professional'; personally there's only one individual I feel should be financing that, however, and that's the guy that bought the club.

His sole goal should be to leave the club in a better position on and off the field than when he took over.

So far, it's a miserable failure. If he needs the fans to bail him out, well, that's a sorry state of affairs, but it is what it is.

 

The update article about 1903 Club says

- with all proceeds being directly injected into the Bantams’ 2021/22 playing budget!

 

I've never had a season ticket (not lived in the City for 38 years)
Emailed the ticketing office to find out what can be done. Hope they respond by the end of July cut off date!

 

If you order this at the ticket office can you pick it up or does it have to be sent
