    When we are allowed to return to watch football at valley parade
    Do we as supporters buy one extra ticket each and let the club give them to the doctors and nurses at Bradford royal & St Luke's for all they have done during this virus lockdown
    stay home stay safe

    Perhaps the term ‘Fontline Medical Staff’ is more relevant. What about Airedale Hospital? I have no problem with the idea? City offered a system for Armed Services personnel a few years ago. https://www.bradfordcityfc.co.uk/news/2015/september/city-supporting-tickets-for-troops/

    I'm a key worker, I have a letter to prove it. I don't feel like a key worker though, I help print fooking stickers FFS. It's not exactly comparable to doctors, nurses, police etc.

    the OP was talking just people at BRI and St Luke’s. You have extended it to police etc, that is my point. Why just Hospitals. There are others.

    I am a key worker but they are really in the frontline...…… Superstars the lot of them.

    I dare not even imagine what they are seeing on a daily basis and then wondering if that apron/mask that only covers half of your head or body is doing the job.

    Seeing your loved ones dying is horrible not being there to see them etc. etc. is not worth thinking about.

    I watched my mum go at the BRI years ago (over a three week period) and the staff were stunning to us all.

    The health staff are dealing with this daily and now some...……….

    I doff my cap health workers you are unsung heros the lot of ya

    Whilst I don’t necessarily think it’s a great idea to be giving away free tickets. It would take a small-minded individual to begrudge them it. Have a word.

    I don’t care how it’s decided. If the club want to give away free tickets to NHS staff, fcking let ‘em.

    that is what I’m on about who do you class as NHS staff? A lot of staff at hospital are not employed directly by the NHS, and that is if you are counting each trust as the NHS rather than an independent employer

    I'm self employed builder and cant claim a bean for best part 3 months

    I have to pay 3 employees 80% of there wages for upto a month before I can claim it back

    Suppliers want paying but creditors are hanging on to their money

    My wife works for me part time so is bringing home nothing

    I have 2 kids birthdays coming up

    We have cut back all our expenditure to the minimum

    We cant claim universal credit from government because I spent more than 4 weeks out of the country last year

    We dont know where our business will be when this all ends and where the money to survive will come from

    We have set up a mortgage holiday in the short term but only for 3 months

    And you want me to buy an extra ticket for those who are earning

    Good luck, btw. I’m not trying to say you’re in a better or worse situation than the next person.
