    That's a question of taste. I think a flat white at Costa is lovely.
    Unless you have the option of going home and making it yourself then what choice is there? At least the standard of the coffee is pretty decent in these places. Before Costa, Starbucks et al arrived here the coffee in most British cafes was usually pretty dire. I'd rather pay three quid for a decent cup of freshly ground coffee than two quid for a cup of instant muck, which was the standard offering before they arrived.

    The amount of people who frequent these coffee shops and use costa machines in service stations tells me things aren’t as bad in this country as some make out but thats for another time....

    Can I put in a suggestion for GB to play two up front at the next home game before I die of boredom?

    Soft drinks must be a big one. The price of pop is ridiculous, it's cheaper to drink beer.

    Unfortunately the courts didn't see it that way when my 9 year old was arrested for drunken disorderly.

    Drop Paula Watson a line with your concerns. She has a reputation for sorting things out which others ignore.

    New Catering please.
    Better toilet facilities please.

    New seats in parts too, the colour in the seating looks so washed out in the KOP compared to the main stand.

    Also loving that kit design above!! Though a return to stripes would make me very very happy also.

    I love this idea, they have one at Shrewsbury and it was great when I went at the start of the season. They had a wee band on and beer on tap. Met a couple of Bantams who lived down there and got to mingle with Bradford and Shrewsbury fans.

    Cheap and nasty would be my view, and having to sit on them every match. Yet another of Edins cost cutting, says it all really and what he thought of the fans. Obviously we are in no position financially to refurb the whole stadium, but certainly when we have the cash we should look to replace all seats including the uncomfortable cheap and nasty variety.

    Hi,

    To clarify, we have engaged a professional cleaner. The volunteers help out in a whole manner of ways. Helping with cleaning being just one.

    The toilets are indeed in a state.

    If we’re not going to smarten them up, I’d suggest renaming the facilities to the ‘Edin Rahic Suite’.

    Seems fitting.

    I'd have thought Rahic leaving is re-motivating enough. I'll bet they are a lot happier now than when he was here.

    Nice and easy one, maybe get billy bantam to walk around the stands. I always see the kids running to him in the NW corner, but by that time he's also the furthest left main stand and furthest right kop to deal with. Get him in the stands abit more, high fiving the kids or as previousky mentioned have a little goody bag full of treats, keeps the kids entertained while the players warm up

    It is fair to say that the club's engagement with supporters groups, including Friend's of Bradford City has dwindled during 2018 for a variety of reasons. The troubled times recently has undoubtedly caused a disconnect between fans and the club but this is something that we aim to rectify.

    Michael Shackleton who is the Commercial Manager here worked for many years with Friends of Bradford City and it is a passion of his. They, along with the many Supporters Group do a brilliant job at a local and community level and help the club with revenue and fan-funded initiatives.

    We are currently re-igniting the Clubs Supporters Board which includes representation from the prominent supporter's groups as well as FOBC and we plan to schedule the next meeting in a few weeks.

    I am going to Harrogate Town tomorrow, 3rd time this season. To get tickets takes about 5 mins and they are paid for and downloaded to my phone.

    Harrogate Town......
