Collateral damage

You can’t. A step backward to start rebuilding; it’s what we need to accept and work towards.

 

Seems the weak Bradford fans will just watch the club go back to ruins.

The cheap season tickets really have killed the heart and soul of the club to the point fans don't gib a flying fu&k as long as they're having a cheap Saturday at Bradford City.

 

League Two. I think we'd recover from their under different owners. Under these owners, we are conference bound

 

This really is the dilemma. The only way to influence Rahic and get him to leave is to hurt him financially by not attending and not renewing season tickets. But by hurting him we hurt the club.

 

The reply to you OCM is in your quote.

 

The club is already damaged!
An empty VP on Saturday is the surest way to make a point the owners and all the country will notice

 

Here's one. Entirely hypothetical, but.....

If you were given a choice

A) continue with the current ownership structure, the possibility of a sale and the intent of the owners being a complete unknown, or
B) Being taken taken over by, for an example, a consortium fronted by a couple of known figures with obvious ties to the club such as a Lawn, Baldwin, Rhodes etc, with assurances over reasonable but not outlandish investment and a reinstatement of the model and principles that underpinned our most recent revival - Hopkin being a manager, professionals in the right roles and scrapping the idea of a development team...but you had to accept relegation and starting again in League 2 next year....

Which would you pick?

 

We plummeted through the leagues before and never once protested. Nothing’s changed

 

Gates plummeted to 6k. Isn't that a protest?

 

6k is a bit of an exaggeration. We went as low as 8k average and even had highs in those seasons of 14 and 15.

That was still 2k higher than the last time we were in division 2 in 96 etc.

That’s our core fan base and I still think they’d go. Plus more now with our cup runs and how the cheap tickets have encouraged families to attend

 

Easy choice for me Faithful

B. I posted as such yesterdsy

 

Be careful what you wish for. League 2 is not easy to get out of

 

Even down to 3 to 4 thousand in our poor history of a football club.

I don't want us to go back to that but knowing our history of failure it could be another 50 years before we hit the second division (Championship ) of English football .

 

Me too. We're heading there anyway.

 

I don't think it's a case of wishing for it. I think it's a case of accepting that we're being taken down anyway, so how do we lay new foundations. These owners will take this club to the conference within 3 years.

 

And another generation of Bradford people lost to other clubs.

 

Agree. But still no hesitation in chosing that option. I want to look forward and enjoy watching City again and get back that all in it together feeling about our club.
It's too fractured beyond repair under the clowns in charge now. They have to go
