    Our owner acknowledging that some fans are disillusioned and possibly engaging in some sort of dialogue would be a start.

    Absolutely won't happen he's a shrewd operator is Rupp and won't lose all his investment
    Some fans are playing cat and mouse with themselves convinced that if we stop buying season tickets we will drop to NL and Rupp,will lose millions it will never happen Rupp doesnt hold the aces we do
    Stop buying season tickets and he will have to act as he watches his investment plummet and with the threat he may have to invest he will be out as fast as he can
    Without us he's on a hiding to nothing and he and Sparks know this if only those who consider themselves Uber fans would get a grip and realise

    I can't believe people on here are still defending this dismal ownership, fecking sickening that you lot will happily give your money to two clowns who are running our club into the ground. Wanting better for the club doesn't make you any less of a supporter despite your happy clapping bs, and the majority are now seeing the damage rupp and sparks are doing to the long term future of Bradford city

    Roger, genuine question because given the comment above, its clear you understand the gravity

    Do the powers that be within the club recognise the impact of a significant loss of fans (customers to them I guess)? Do they realise momentum plays a huge part in football and it’s difficult to salvage a sinking ship?

    The reality of it all is that there’s a real risk we just keep dropping further and further and then Stefan might well end up with nothing, as opposed to whatever value he and any potential buyers might settle on.

    The third option is he arrests the slide and takes serious action which will involve funding.

    You are not soft or weak willed. You are supporting our team the best way you can. That is your decision, and I respect it. This is not the time for name calling fellow fans it is the time to put on our big boy pants and big girl pants and tell it how it is whether you renew or not.

    Good on you my friend I'm a little behind you with regards how long I have been following our team I can understand why after all these years you might be called a happy clapper and understand perfectly why others don't feel renewing is the right thing to do.
    Both me and my grandson already renewed in my case for the very reasons you posted above with regards the grandson, grandads paying, and although after the Notts County game he told me he will not be attending any more home games until the last home game of the season for obvious reasons I've yet to ask if he wants picking up this Saturday ;).

    I think there are few pointing their fingers at those renewing as well, pointless thread City fans believing there actions are the correct actions, whatever happend to live and let live.

    Is that a serious suggestion or do you just cross your fingers and hope that things will change for the better with Rupp and Sparks continuing to provide the leadership at VP?

    I got that email too. I haven't had a season ticket for over twenty years :D

    The video is giving off proper IS*S vibes. Rupp and Sparks should have been stood behind him in full military gear. Marketing department must do better! They could have at least made it a bit more grainy and roughed him up a bit.

    I've noticed yet again due to someone's incompetence the abuse online being received by the ticket office staff over a video inadvertently sent out to all season ticket holders
    I called by the office yesterday and three yes three staff were doing their level best to deal with everything from tickets enquires to away ticket sales.
    Now I'm just a supporter but whilst there my observations made me come to the conclusion they need extra help but once again it's been overlooked.
    Should of been a priority to set on a temporary team of workers even if it was just to cover a few week.
    I have nothing but respect for the current employees in our ticket office they are trying their best in a very difficult and abusive environment.
    This whole season ticket fiasco could and should of been avoided.
    What actually do Ticketmaster do for their new customer Bradford City, shouldn't someone be in the office to assist our staff with the smooth transition instead of the our ticket staff trying to make the best of this enforced change.

    I'm renewing!

    Not sure how it would benefit the club if nobody renews.

    The only time sustainable business changes its brand or product is when the product or brand is no longer making £

    Rupp should know without a major change to the Product and leadership in the company he will personally lose out due to reduced income

    if he doesn’t we are truly fooked

    You have openly slagged off fans and hoped that less attend games. Did you forget you said that?
