This is terrible, on Tuesday, the amount of City fans attending could be very similar to the away fans. We're in a sorry state.
Just like the wonderful years BFG gave and then the aftermath... I put the same onus on Rupp...
Im so angry..
This club should be playing the likes of Birmingham in Championship.
Usless bastards, hope they fk off soon.
Next season im taking my Grandson, before I put that club in his heart, they need to stop been winkers and match the fans aspirations...

I've seen plenty of people calling for Rupp, Sparks, Alexander, Gent and others to go; however, we lack clarity on where the responsibility for the dismal situation lies and we don't necessarily want to throw the baby out with the bathwater.
For example, does Rupp need to go if he is prepared to buy to fund buying the ground back and invest additional funds into the playing budget? Or does Sparks need to go if it turns out he is excellent on the commercial side? What may be required is for some to stay, some to go and some to have their roles redefined.
I think we all know we need some significant changes, but we do need to get it right. And, in case there is any doubt, my view is most definitely that we can't go on as we are.Stop hovering to collapse... Click to collapse... Hover to expand...

Rupp suddenly goes from Mr Invisible who’s been to 3 or 4 games this season, who doesn’t seem to want to engage with fans,hasn’t taken delivery of a load of fans letters questioning his ownership to telling an irate fan lots of his financial dealings regarding player budget,ground acquisition etc.

The idea that rupp would let the club fold because revenue dropped a bit is alarmist bullshit and you know it. Not to mention the discussion you're quoting as evidence for this is based around relegation, not income from fans. The fans can spunk up as much cash as they'd like, it won't change a thing while rupp allows an amateur Facebook admin free reign to run his asset into the groundWilsdenBantam, Keefly Bantam, JudgeMental and 2 others like this. -

I'm getting to the end of my tether with the club but match day allows me to spend quality time with my sons, followed by pint or two. It allows a bit of release from the weekly norm. That overides the usual dire performances I invariably witness. One day father time may take the opportunity away from me. So for me, that's why I'll renew.

We have had tough times before but this time there is a snake oil salesman running the football club. Sparkes getting the job was left field, Sparkes keeping his job after empty sound bites and poor decisions has been worrying, Sparkes still in a job after literally dragging the club nearer and nearer to its death is criminal.

For the few still for some reason not desperate to see the end of Rupp and Sparks, hopefully this is the final wake up call needed.

Renewal is no longer about blind loyalty to the club you've supported for years,times have certainly moved on since then when cheap season ticket campaigns dictated the amount sold.
If people have had enough so be it unfortunately the non renewal bandwagon is in overdrive again fuelled by another appalling home performance.
I would suggest your quote regarding by the week is more by the minute.
The hierarchy can't delete every opinion expressed by dissatisfied customers and hopefully sooner rather than later will have to address the very future of Bradford City Association Football Club.
After all it's run as a business and everyone knows if the product on the shelve isn't value for money punters shop elsewhere these days.Bronco, vladimir, Onside and 1 other person like this. -

You’re right though, the problem is Sparks for the decisions he’s overseen on managerial appointments and player contracts.
Rupp is only responsible for hiring him in the first place and he should start by rectifying that mistake and possibly also committing to giving GA a generous playing budget next season.Silverbantam, Onside, Ponty City and 1 other person like this. -
