    My Company is supposed to be sponsoring the Pompey game on Saturday. I have told the powers that be that there is no way I am sponsoring this game until Rahic is out of the club. Fortunately I haven’t paid the invoice yet as it only came to us a couple of weeks ago.


    No way am I doing any more sponsorship with Rahic still at the club. Until he leaves I’m out.

    You know what guys I really don't care if others disagree I am proud that @JonButterfield@JonButterfield and @Nick_W_@Nick_W_ started the ball rolling and 60+ normally passive Bradford City have taken up the first challenge of trying to change things at Valley Parade.
    I'm against staying away at this present time but if I don't see or believe the owners are keeping to their word I can see myself boycotting home games, those who are still attending take your own drinks and food with you don't purchase anything at the club.
    On a final note this protest has cost me £10 and on the day of the game the fly bye happends I will have a smile on my face knowing my contribution hopefully helped show the owners my club is more than just a place to gather and shout for 11 men dressed in Claret & Amber for 90+ minutes it has very much been a big part of mine and my families life for over 60 years.

    I'll try my very best to get this done for Portsmouth, flying over around 3pm.

    There are a couple of obstacles to this, not least confirming it in time then addressing press and sortingthe funding before I actually get the money, but I'll do all I can.

    The time is definitely right.

    I'm currently awaiting a response from Air Ads.

    There are some on here who believe the only thing to do is have an organised boycott of games; the TCA guys had an idea to have paid for billboard advertising; 70 people have used their own cash for the fly by; the SOCers appear to be trying to organise some kind of protest; many thousands other fans are voting with their feet and just not going to VP; others are using their purses and wallets and not buying merchandising etc. Some might be waiting until next season's STs go on sale and not renewing. There might well be other things happening which I'm not aware of

    It's good imo that there are so many different messages on different fronts. Unless somebody really knows which of Rahic's buttons really do need to be pressed for maximum impact, we should be addressing the issue on many fronts. It may not be the most efficient way of addressing fans' concerns but something will come of it. And in all of the cases, a message is being sent now which will inevitably have longer term consequences if they are not resolved soon.

    The funds from JustGiving won't be ready for another 9 days.

    We can still go for Portsmouth and I'll fund it myself while we're waiting.

    I don't really want to wait for the next game as the price could easily go up.

    We have a bit of a shortage of home league games at present.

    Thoughts?

    Surely the banner should say "RUPP & RAHIC OUT"?? Rupp is as much to blame as his mate.

    Is everyone happy with me increasing this target in light of this information?

    All right, the situation is pretty much dictating that we need to move fast on this.

    Let's get a game locked in, because I'm hopeful the target will be met by the end of the weekend. We'll see.

    If we can get it done for Portsmouth (week on Saturday), are people happy with that?

    Alternatives are: Waiting for Oxford at home 24/11 or long into December.

    Portsmouth are likely to bring a few, given their league position, and I don't doubt our fans will be pessimistic at best about our chances in this one. It would be pretty rich to blame any result on a stunt like this, but it is Edin, so who knows.

    I second your sentiment. Jon and Nick did a great job in organising the crowd funding of the fly by. And now it's a case of converting that great progress into action. We don't want to be delaying things much otherwise as you say we'll lose some of the momentum. The idea of organising it for the next home game while we still have the benefit of plenty of daylight would be a great step forward.

    I'd welcome Jon and Nick getting their heads together, reviewing what's been discussed already on the wording of the banner and coming to a decision themselves. The idea of spending more time with a poll or a vote on the banner's message will imo lose valuable time.

    Rupp's announcement doesn't affect the fly over, this will still take place at the earliest available opportunity.

    If this is timed to make people question the idea of cranking up the pressure, sorry, it will not work. The imminent embarrassment of having their names displayed on a banner over the skies of Bradford at the expense of disgruntled fans will still take place.

    The Embarrassing thing is, I normally take around 25 people (Big match sponsorship is only for a table of 12). I have had no corespondence from the club regarding Menus, people, itinerary for the day - Nothing.
    Communication is embarrassing to say the least. It’s next Saturday FFS!!!!

    Someone with no connection to the club and no understanding of what's going on will be logging on shortly to assure you it's all fine and you're overreacting.
