    They played Nuneaton yesterday now that is a screwed up club. Newly formed club in the past 10 years, currently without an owner. No one is owning up to owing it so no one can buy it

    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 ;).

    How does that help the club at this moment. We have been told Hopkin will have money made available to him in January. That is the only way out of this mess at the moment. Strangling the club's revenue at this moment in time will not help that.

    They are supporting a regime that is lining its own pocket to the tune of £13k a month + £37k loan repayment a month for the money used to buy the club. They justify Edin’s plan. Cut off the money & he goes, simple. That’s the reason he is here end of. Those that saw what he is doing & stood up to him have been forced out.

    I have with sadness decided not to attend VP ( Been going since 1961, season ticket holder 30 years ) till these two clowns are out of our club it will hurt but it's my personal protest against these clowns and the whole toxic culture they have created at VP. I am and always will be a city fan it's in my DNA but from now on will be following on the radio

    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.

    So by generating money and handing it over it is not helping the owners in any way ?.
    Forgive me if I don't get carried away with yet another promise from our owners @City-since-67@City-since-67 with regards making money available to Hopkin in January, there is little we can do to change personnel at this present time apart from bringing free agents in, but even as positive as I was about Hopkin turning us around January is a long way away and we could be well and truly anchored in the bottom 4 by then, just how did these two clowns get us where we are in such a short time.

    Like we were promised last January? That went well. You'd believe the moon was made of cheese if Edin told you.

    Bradford City fans are weak.

    Won't do anything.

    Now that would be something worth thinking about, not dumping them on the pitch but returning them to the 1911 reception desk with the words" Owners Out"written in thick black felt tip pen, how many did they see by the way ?.

    Ignore the owners for a minute. If we don't strengthen in January we are relegation fodder. Cutting off income streams will only make that more likely. Whether you believe the owners or not that is our only hope of staying in league 1 this season. I for one will do what little I can to help the cause at this point.

    Taken from Newcastle boycott plans -

    The Magpie Group's 11 protest proposals for fans to vote on:
    • A mass march to a match. followed by a five-minute protest in the Milburn Stand atrium area
    • Place stickers around Newcastle city centre
    • Expand political pressure
    • Boycotting a game
    • Protests inside St James' Park (e.g. walk-ins, walk-outs, sit-ins, visual display)
    • Boycotting games after January (still continue protests outside stadium, with banners inside for the meantime)
    • Fundraise to ensure sustainability for the movement, and so it can expand
    • Throwing protest objects on to the pitch for a specified game
    • Protesting at away games
    • Covering up all Sports Direct advertising in the ground during a televised match
    • A nationwide protest outside Sports Direct stores

    I would suggest that on a set match day, we find a small local club with no rivalry, and go support them instead as a one off, with the usual bcfc banners and stuff that we see at away games.

    Would surely make news if our attendance drops significantly and a club that barely gets any support get an unusually large gate?

    Btw, I will also chip in for the plane

    And I genuinely salute you guys for doing what you do, but you can't be serious that whatever funds you generate and give to the club will nake any sort of difference to the calibre of player we bring in come January.
    As I posted above January is a long way off at the moment and even given that the owners di bring in quality there are no guarentees it will be enough to stave off relegation.

    Whatever they might like you to believe, the owners don't need our cash in the short term. Rupp has deep pockets and could afford to run the club without any incoming money for a while.
    Depriving the club of our money and support at this time sends a message to the owners that we will not accept the current shambolic leadership. In the same way, sponsors who are also fans in many cases can indicate that deals will not be renewed sending the same message.
    Witholding our money at the moment does not present an existential threat to Bradford City but doing nothing and allowing Rahic to continue to damage us just might.
