    I like your thinking. If we reach the play off final, I'm not sure the other club will be happy with 1,000 tickets but #sowhat.

    My wife's sister lives in France and couldn't believe we voted brexit. We were mad, we needed Europe, we will wither and die. Well. F@@k you part time frog. Macron has really f&&&ed up.

    Imagine a Corn Dolly beer tent in the car park. It would be like the old days. Out of the Belle Vue at five to three!

    We wouldnt be in this position if those eligible had all had the vaccine. The 21st June would be a definite and we would all be looking forward to business almost as usual. Just glad its Bolton, not Bradford that has this spike.

    Its not a third inoculation though. Its a booster for when the current vaccine loses efficacy. There's a massive massive difference. No one, anywhere, has suggested we need three vaccines to be protected and the efficacy rates on the az vaccine are higher than the smallpox vaccine. Its panic spreaders like you, you are stopping people getting on with life. Which we have to because economic collapse will cause more problems than the virus in the long term.

    Ten people a day are dying from this, 460 a day from cancer. Perspective is required.

    Both with city and everything else its come as a relief. With the vaccination program and the Scottish reports on a 90% reduction in hospitalisations after vaccination I am confident these relaxations will go ahead. Maybe not bang on as they are set now but they wont get pulled away.

    It was made clear that the tickets were a joint tv live ticket and there was no guarantees

    Claret one week, Amber the next ? I'll take one on one off just to get back home
    Very. I get my flu jab without fail, and haven't even had a heavy cold since I started. Before that I spent most winters under the weather.

    Macron has got to be on dodgy ground, late with the vaccine and then both France & Germany not vaccinating the over 65s, time will prove them right or wrong but the more information coming out is the vaccine is proving to be better than expected.
    The vaccine in us oldies is giving us 100% protection against severe disease, hospitalisation and death in the primary analysis of Phase III trials

    If full attendance is allowed next august, then our first home match will hopefully be a sellout, and we should have a flag day along the lines of the cup tie against Reading, that would be great

    I'm pretty sure it will be cosmetic alterations as oppose to anything structural. My instinct tells me its improvements to the match day experience via a fan zone type of area. Quite shrewed if true, as an entertainment business you need fans at Valley Parade all day, not just for 90 minutes on a Saturday. It was always gonna be a tough job dragging this clubs carcass into the 21st century with facilities to match an ever changing landscape, especially as much of our fan base is still stuck in the past. But hats off to Sparks, he actually understands the need to move forward and that includes on and off the pitch. Even what theyve done with the entrance to the changing rooms last week, used to joke the wood pannelling looked like a 70s taxi office, nows theres City photos all over the walls.

    We're a diverse population in Bradford and one thing most people have in common is a love of food and drink. We could offer opportunities to local businesses with different cuisines an opportunity to have a small stall in the larger concourse areas, for a fee. Promotion opportunity for them, money for the club, something different for fans beyond stale meat pies.

    Turn Midland Rd into a no traffic zone ie blocked at either end.11.00 -1800.(Saturday example) Tented stalls along the Holywell Ash Lane to Queens Road route. Getting to and from the ground on this major route to the stadium would make it 100% safer than it is now. It’s a no brainer and creates the available space without impacting on ground parking.

    Sick of all this pussy footing around and threats of local lockdowns.
    Some people would be happy if next season was behind closed doors so long as ifollow is an option.
    Very sad really

    This Indian variant could have a big say on what the government decide going forward if the vaccine is as good as they say it should allow more easing, watching the Lincoln game tonight at one side of the ground looked very full and hardly social distancing.
    The government have to lower their guard and allow us back to as near normality as possible, call it herd immunity if they want as most of the vulnerable with have been vaccinated.

    A Return to VP for me today! (Wore my mask)
    Car park full maybe driving awareness course taking place ? Walked up to Manningham Lane a shed as been erected named City Chaii not sure on that if it opens match days. Carried on to Bar Italia
    It’s changed to Tony’s Pizza ( 12 inch ) quite rustic needed an interpreter though.
    Good news though today got my ticket for Lawkholme Lane on Sunday Northern Terrace Cougars v Rochdale Hornets
    Maybe a while before I get back to VP.

    Why not ? Exactly why should the vast majority of the public (who have been vaccinated) have their freedom curtailed by the Jab Dodgers who believe everything someone with the IQ of WDM have posted on the internet or that some mythical imaginary person believes its wrong to take medicine ?

    Anyone who posts anti vaccine propaganda on the internet should be sent to the Faroe Islands
