    You're not a superfan Park, just a bit of an embarrassment

    Scunthorpe and York amongst others show that you can drop a long way. The former are doing better ATM, but long way back. Anyone who thinks boycotting the club will help it are living in fantasy world.

    So many former league clubs are stuck in the abyss of non league. It’s extremely hard to come back once you’ve gone and I hope never see it in my lifetime.
    I can’t go along with the fans who think boycotting the club is the miracle answer to the current issues.
    If we go down to the NL we could be there a very very long time.

    If you had £5 million which club would you buy? One with a capacity of 24K+ with scope to make significant funds out of fan purchases etc or one with 5,400 capacity that will not give such a good ROI

    Imagine living on this planet and not being able to find something to do with your spare time? I enjoy watching football but I struggle to call what I watch as a Bradford fan football. I would have no problem finding something else for my entertainment on a Tuesday and Saturday.

    I've missed maybe 100 games in the last 20 years doing so from Derby and the Borders. I finally gave up in February and now I have competent ceo to run my business i go away for family breaks most weekends for the same price, happiest I've been in years.

    But don't you realise you not renewing your season ticket is killing this club etc....
    At least the Uber fans will have no trouble getting tickets next season.

    Well we'd better get used to it for all the talk of what's going behind the senses with regards interest in our club, I've heard the Rupp/Sparks plan is to base our sustainability on 10,000 fans purchasing season tickets, apparently the price of being an Associate Director has or will be doubled in the near future several have not renewed already, make of this what you will, were in enough shit and I'm not the stirrer.

    I don't care what you do.

    I have renewed.

    It's called being a 'Happy Clapper'.

    I'm happy and I'm clapping.

    Come on all you 'renewers'. Fly your freak flag loud and proud

    Love and kisses.

    Norman.

    Got an email this morning from GA thanking me for renewing!
    I didn't realise I had!?
    Is this like those online insurance policy renewals where, if you don't tick a box buried in the small print, it auto renews?

    Totally agree. I honestly have no idea why any so called supporter feels it necessary to abuse staff in this manner. It was probably a computer clitch or whatever and probably no human error at all. Plus as you say extra temporary staff and Ticketmaster should be rolling up their sleeves and sorting this out.

    I'm not renewing, but I won't be telling the wife that.
    Best thing, the only thing recently, about going to the games is to catch up with friends there.
    Instead we can go for a pint or curry with mates, maybe have the game on the phone in the background, and if by some grace of god the games start becoming entertaining again, can still pay to go.

    There's such a thing as ethics/pride in business and that's what we are to him a business unlike us he has no connection to the club
    Rupp will not want his reputation tarnishing regardless of the % of his wealth at stake
    We will never agree on this but I do think you are becoming very much in the minority with your opinions
    Don't be afraid to force change it happens all the time in business
