    so, hold on - let’s take a step back a minute. you’re accusing me of being antagonistic yet i’ve been told i’m a WUM, a bot, on edin’s payroll, work for the club but then that i don’t go to matches at all (which is it?) or that i don’t support city at all. all because i don’t toe the party line of this forum and throw abuse or rumour at the club and for having my own opinion which in some instances may differ from others. so how about you tell other posters to back off like you have me? or does it only matter for those that have differing opinions?

    you, personally, have had 2 or 3 digs at me in the past and now you are asking me to respect what other posters are saying. that’s a bit rich isn’t it? in all honesty, this is a forum and personally it doesn’t actually bother me what people think about my posts - but just because someone has a different opinion that doesn’t mean they are wrong or don’t care about the club. people have a choice and a right to support or not support the club in whichever way they seem fit, as long as they don’t overstep the line.

    you’re right, i don’t agree with a protest at the moment but i definitely don’t agree with a protest that seems like it’s going to fizzle out after a short time. the fact that there isn’t one person willing to take on the mantel as chief organiser on this board indicates to me that they are plenty of people who will talk a good game but nobody actually wanting to do the graft. there have been people advocating for an no-show and for people to skip matches as a sign of protest, but 24 hours later those same people seen to be saying that actually now they are going to go, or if we get a good cup draw at some point that they can’t see themselves missing out on that one. that doesn’t mean i disagree with a persons right to protest, in whichever way they see fit in accordance with law. but if the protest is going to work and get a message across that people want then it can’t be dipped in and out of when people see fit or when it suits them. what kind of message does that send?

    living and working 70 miles away from bradford it actually takes up the majority of my saturday attending matches and dependent on the m62 can be a bit of a trek on evenings. am i going to stop making the journey now during the tough times? no, and that’s my choice. if people don’t want to go, then that’s their choice too.

    enjoy your day.

    Are you happy with the way they are running our club, as I assume from your post you will not be contributing.
    I never thought I would be protesting about how our club is being so poorly run, but now Jon has started the ball rolling I'm quite happy to see what becomes of our protest, this is not a pop at yourself @How@How everyone sees it differently but enough is enough IMO

    We could all wave England flags and the banner could say "F*ck Off Back Home!" ;)

    Large protest outside the main reception before and after the game?
    95% of us have already paid for our tickets so it’s not going to hurt them financially us not going to the game so we might aswell try and get behind the team, as bad as they are.

    It’s the first time in having a ST for 23 years that I decided not to go simply because I decided to do something else. I’ll be there Tuesday but I feel like I’m losing the love for City now. I’m sure there’s plenty of others.
    I know most of my group who went yesterday aren’t going Tuesday after witnessing that.

    As a life long Bradford City supporter can I suggest you carry on with your great support with regards finacial help ETC to our club, but until you see change you make it quite plain to the owners no monies will be forth comming their way.
    Or will that mean you won't be allowed at the top table feeding from Edins scraps ;).

    Might come into contact with a Rory clearance that is still orbiting, but otherwise should be okay.

    I’d go with everything on here plus maybe dumping the matter of heart dvds on the pitch at a defined time.

    See if you can get 70 members to chip in for a banner that simply says "Bantam Talk". If you can't then you have your answer.

    This is about the club, it really shouldn't be used as a chance to publicise the forum and for what it's worth that would apply to any City related group organising a protest such as the trust or various supporters groups.

    If only we could.
    Why do you believe they will honour something they promised us fans and Stuart as manager last season, and what sort of money would you be happy spending on several new faces, upward of £1m for 4 quality players, bearing in mind we payed transfer money for the likes if McCarton, Reeves, Jones, Scannell, Doyle, I do hope your right but even yourself has to acknowledge we have been let down in the past so why will/should the Januaries transfer window be different ?.

    As I said there may not be any spending in Jan but if you don't time a protest right you can potentially guarantee there won't be and may leave the club in a situation where they can't get rid of them as no-one wants a League 2 club. Unless you manage to find an Arab Oil billionaire who wants to buy it no buyer is going to be doing so just to throw their fortunes down the drain so anyone wanting to come in has to know there are certain financials in place which League 2 will lessen. There is more chance of ousting them as a League 1 club imho than as a League 2 club

    I've no idea how much the club is paying two of its employees for their jobs and I suspect nobody else does either unless there is somebody who has seen the club's monthly payroll. If somebody other than Mr and Mrs Rahic were doing these two jobs, would they be doing it for fresh air?

    And on the issue of the '£37k loan repayment a month for the money used to buy the club', do you have any thoughts on why the loans provided to buy the club aren't reducing as a result of these loan repayments? That's according the German HoldCo's financial accounts.

    Rahic has done a lot of damage to our club over the last 18 months or so. But we'd be better sticking to the stuff he is responsible for and not some of the made up stuff.

    There's a 1000 plus members on here but probably double that lurkers

    And remember members dont go to matches alone but with friends and family

    This forum could account for 5000 plus fans if need be
