A.F.C Bradford City

Cheers buddy.

Their fanbase, they got help with funding too I believe?

But with the state of the world, with the declining economy and Bradford being a poorer part of the country, most of us ain’t got the money to be putting in, there is a reason we have the cheap season tickets. I dare say some of the Wimbledon donors probably had money to play with because Wimbledon is a southern club and honestly, there does tend to be people better off down south.

We have some rich enough City fans to buy the club, I dare say they’re waiting for the drop into none league so Rupp lowers the price tag from £10 Million, at least that’s what he was looking for last year.

I just don’t think our fanbase can get the funding to do it, if we have rich local businessmen wanting to invest they’ll buy the club when it’s cheaper to buy in the National League.

Absolutely not. We need to focus all our attention on the Bradford City I love.

I do not think we would go out of business if we get relegated, there is no hint or evidence this would happen.

Anyhow, no matter how bad we are at the moment, I still think we will escape relegation.

 

A drop to the conference would mean an immediate loss of nearly £500k of TV income plus loss of sponsorship, ST sales, lack of FA Cup 1st round money, the FL Cup and the FL Trophy. In year two the parachute from the FL halves and in the year three it’s gone.

I’d estimate an absolute minimum £750k-£1m loss of income in year 1.

That’s a bigger hit to the P&L than Covid this season.

To say the club isn’t in financial trouble after relegation is naive in my opinion

 

You were going so well until you started mentioning supportive councils. That rules us out. Forever.

 

Yikes I didn’t think of that to be honest! Fair point.

I would say we get BT Sport money but from what I’ve googled it’s only like £6k each home game. D:

 

Unfortunately, the Bradford City you love (and most of us) doesn;t exist anymore
