    You crack on accepting mediocracy while the rest of us at least try to do something.
    You cheer on the boys who have done us so proud this season.

    No all that will happen is budgets will be cut to continue sustainability

    In which case we'll go down. Which isn't sustainable.

    Best effort for what? You go watch our Yorkshire/league rivals Harrogate by your own self admission, right?

    And what the holy hell has an attendance against Hereford >10 years ago got to do with our current situation :joy:

    Which will = going down, which then = rupp getting nowhere near his asking price and actually having to feck off or put money in. Guess he'll have to put money in to avoid that won't he

    'Happy'? No, I wouldn't be happy. I'm furious Park, how can you not be?

    I don't go, not because I'm disinterested, but because I refuse to enable the manner in which the club is being run and how fans are being treated. You keep going, keep being fed shit, and lied to, if that makes you 'happy'.

    I've had enough. You can't piss on my leg and tell me its raining.

    No doesn’t mean we will go down but it will mean a lot less chance of going the other way

    Aye cause that's looking more and more likely every week ain't it. Give your head a wobble mate, the only way we'll get out of this league with Rupp and Twitter boy running the show is relegation. 5 years of constant decline, how are you not fecking furious at what he's done to this club???

    Can tell he's an out-of-towner, those from further afield never truly get the sense of feeling around Bradford during hard times like these.

    We aren't going up with no board, an owner doesn't care, a CEO who has never run a business in his life let one a football club, and an endless succession of managers and players.

    What do you think is going to happen, a manager will magically just 'click' and get us promoted?

    That didn't happen under PP either, he was given a million pound surplus from a loan from Lawn

    Nothing magic about it

    The 'attendance' on the T&A and the match report as 14,512 (including 704 Harrogate supporters). Given we've got around 13,000 season ticket holders that is a very low attendance and one of the lowest of the season

    I wasn’t there but looking at Twitter pictures of all sides of the ground I would be flabbergasted if the true figure was over 6,000 last night. Probably nearer the 5k mark.

    Think back not long ago we were struggling along with a considerable worst team today with threats of moving out of VP and taking the stand with us we appointed Parky and a couple of years later we were on the cusp of the championship.
    Listen if there were people out there who were desperate to buy into this club with a vision and deep pockets and Rupp was knocking back fair offers then I would say protests were justified but I don’t think there is.

    Which team was considerably worse than the one we have today?

    What’s changed in terms of our need to resolve the VP question as our home? We’re much closer to the end of the lease, with no solution in sight.

    Rupp has been knocking back fair offers. He bought the club 6m, relegated, more than halved the value of the squad and now wants 10m.

    Do you not see what’s right before your eyes? You really do just think this is about finding the right manager don’ t you Park…..?

    On the cusp of the championship then Rupp buys us, 5 years later we're worse than we were before the parky era. We can't just keep praying the next manager will be another parky, and as noted above parky was backed with extra funding. That isn't going to happen under Rupp. And we did have an offer from a group with deep pockets, but because his ego was bruised he knocked them back while everyone cried about NFTs and crypto (despite their bid and funding being in GBP).

    He had the option to get out, knocked it back, claimed to be the proud custodian and then did nothing to back himself. His leadership has left us on the brink and without him going we'll be watching non league football within the next 2 seasons
