    It seems very unfair that clubs in low risk areas can have 4000 fans back in, thus giving them a true home advantage whereas we play home games in empty stadium and losing such advantage.

    yes I know we’re still shit but you get my point.

    If we keep playing as we are.... it's all irrelevant. We'll have no feckin fans left to return to Valley Parade.

    I want fans back too but...
    It’s been proven through all levels from PL to league2 that playing in empty stadiums has produced some weird results with no home advantage.
    Are you happy with our opponents having that extra spur from their fans when we are fighting for points looking over our shoulders?

    If we go into tier 3 they wouldn't let away fans into Bradford never mind the ground

    They would have to communicate with us so I wouldn't worry about it

    Doesn’t the idea of allowing some clubs to have paying fans attend, but not others, create a competitive disadvantage?

    Agree the club need to make the relevant people aware, as some have already said after Christmas if we stay in tier 3 there won't be crowds at Valley Parade until we drop at least one tier

    To be honest I would rather write this season off as regards attending games, I would much rather keep watching games on TV ( with a better service ) for the remaining season

    If we were allowed back I would give it a go and see what was involved in attending in person, if it is too regimental which I think it will be I cant see me enjoying that sort of environment especially during winter.

    Since Covid there has been more away wins in the Premier League than ever before, so I think it clearly does. I want to see fans back ASAP but this is a competition and as such I think it should only be permitted when it is available to all.
