    I would guess at hardly anything.

    Never listened to them, it's not really my thing but think (could be wrong) their intentions were good. Fair play them, their only doing what modern social media people do.

    They were getting sponsored for that & then look at all the merchandise?

    I mean, £35 quid for a jumper which cost about £0.80p to make in Vietnam...

    Never a lover of what they did they came across as being Bradford City celebraties, I thought the interview they did with Rahic could have been more intrusive and reaily put Rahic on the spot.
    Not easy I accept but they got a one off, possibly never to get another chance again to put Rahic on the spot.

    Pretty certain they won't be able to retire on their profits.

    overly harsh. you didn't have to listen to them and they were not funded by the club. Society nowadays is very quick to criticise people for doing something which they can try do themselves but choose not too. With blogs they have to be slightly extroverted and big headed and different. Would you log on to listen to Mr normal, drivelling on, saying the vanilla lines. No it won't offend anyone but would be dull. Its meant to be entertainment not a lesson.

    Do you think because they are City fans they are charity and owe us something? I think you'll find the volumes they are buying in the product doesn't come from the far east either.

    I know. City shirts should really be £25 too. Scandal that there trying to make money from sales.

    Hats off to the BB boys and always up for a chat off air. Nothing wrong with making a few quid off the back of City if consumers are willing to pay cash. I doubt James 'The Mole' Mason is not making a killing with his City nights and now Stuart is part of the 9 to 5 enterprise. They give fans what they want. GOOD LUCK BB lads whatever you do in future to make some brass.

    Found them insufferable and arrogant but each to their own!

    I think there's room for a no holds barred (within reason) Bradford City podcast. A little group of City fans who have no ties to the club and have free speech to say what they want without repercussions. I feel Bantams Banter were and WOAP are very close to the club and sugar coat a lot of issues and were worried about offending the feelings of players/staff/board members inside the club. Just think in times like last year when stuff really needed to be said it was really watered down and didn't really reflect the true feelings of the fans. On the flip side it would be nice to hear from the run of the mill city fan and hear their opinions as by the evidence on here there would be disagreements which would be an interesting listen instead of the current podcasts just agreeing with each other as they are all pals.

    Both were genuine guys, with the club’s interests at heart, and told it how it was. They made a niche for themselves with the podcasts and did what they did, well. Fair play to them for having the vision to try something new.

    Some of the comments are laughable about them coining it in. They sold a few gimmicky items on the side, mainly at Christmas, but its hardly likely to have been enough to give up your day job for.

    I thought they struck the right balance between getting close enough to the club to speak to players and staff and therefore add authenticity, without pulling the wool over fans’ eyes when it wasn’t rosy.

    Ultimately some didn’t find them funny, but some did. It is the same with many things in life and the same for many radio hosts or TV programmes. If you don’t like it you turn over.

    Watch this space.

    Re the tat that the BB lads sold. Didn't they donate profits to the Burns Unit?
