    Wasn't it at Coventry we got relegated back in the premier?
    Was it also a Good Friday?

    Anyway, keeping in tradition of City Gallows humour.
    Im suggesting a relegation party, where we all wear fancy-dress. The grim reaper perhaps. Or as a clown but wearing a City shirt?

    It was, but not sure whether it was Good Friday, don’t think so, we would need to look up the date.

    19th May 2001. 0-0, 20,000 estimate. I hadn’t realised that as well as Coventry, Man City was relegated with us. A tale of three cities lol

    I think we got relegated with a 2-1 defeat at Everton. Coventry was our last match of the season and we were already down. We drew 0 0

    Or an Edin Rahic face mask

    They'd knock up a batch for about a quid a pop

    Can't get relegated at Coventry , by my reckoning it will be about 4.55 on Friday afternoon when Rochdale and Scunthorpe finish their games , probably passing L#$d's on the Shippers bus just to rub salt into the wounds

    I think there will be an orchestra at Coventry to accompany the fat lady singing

    Whatever happens in the match, we cannot be relegated at the final whistle. We might be by the time the players get home from Coventry though!

    Imagine taking the piss out of yourselves and the club by having a relegation party. Grim reaper costumes? Edin masks? We are soft as shite. Embarrassing.

    Is the Coventry arena train station in use on match day? Feel like I had trouble using it last time and had to taxi it from Coventry station to the ground. Any clarification would be great, thanks lads.

    While i appreciate im being a miserable bastard i honestly can't bring myslef to support this shit show anymore. While we can joke about getting relegated and talk about wearing Edin masks, the players get away with doing absolutely sod all. Why anyone would follow that "team" to Coventry on Friday is beyond me.
    The sooner our fate is confirmed the better and hopefully we can stop joking about our mess of a football club and stop pretending to support a man who can't be arsed to leave Germany incase he puts us into admin.

    Did you see the T&A article from Bowyer yesterday where he talked about the club needing to change from Top to Bottom? That includes the mentality of fans. This attitude of it being ok to lose as long as players ‘try’, this acceptance of mediocrity, it has to change. We have to be much more demanding.

    Yes, it’s one train an hour in each direction. Usually only one carriage although I think they stick another one on in match days.

    Bowyer is correct we have to change, what we have been dished up this season is an insult to all City fans. Whereby I don’t think the team will win every match, but I expect them to go all out to win every match, do not step back for anyone. Yes we are passionate and loyal, but do not think we will just put up with this. We need tough players both physically and more importantly mentally. We also need skill on the ball, so it is going to be hard to find the right characters, but that is what I expect. I personally don’t care about any of the current team, so let the mass clear out begin.

    Thanks mate. Looks like the best option with rail replacement buses and taxis the alternative.

    I get your point but there are far more important things in life than Bradford City, there are times when humour needs to be brought into the debate or we'd all be suicidal.
