Most liked posts in thread: Flyover Cancellation

Well, if the club have panicked - and are personally refunding the money in order to stop the flyover then I think we can all quite proudly say to all those naysayers who said it was pointless and a waste of money that WE HAVE MADE A DIFFERENCE!


Well done everyone.

 

I think the fans (especially the 64 contributors of the flyover) have a right to know what damage (financial or otherwise) this would've done to the club. Sick and tired of this cloak and dagger bollocks now.

 

This thread could be put to bed by @City-since-67 statjng exactly what was said and who said it. But he won’t will he? Why? For the greater good of City, to stop fans ripping into each other? Or because it would destroy his little hard on from thinking he knows something nobody else does? Make up your own mind.

 

So @City-since-67 why is it all hush hush, you know the facts why not tell us all and take any pressure that Jon may be feeling away from the guy.
You post above the higher hierarchy do not frequent this forum yet they asked you to act on there behalf, then you state later that this has not come from Edin, so one can only assume it's come from Stefan as there are no other hierarchy, Julian is working on a consultancy basis we are given to believe.
So I'll ask you again to give the members of this forum the same information you gave to Jon to put him under pressure to made the call, this is not questioning your integrity just to try and make things clearer to members and especially those who funded the fly bye ?.

 

I think it was very unfair to put this question to you this morning. This fly by has been in the offing for weeks and they could have approached you at any time.

If I was being cynical, I might think it was deliberately left until you had no chance to consult the rest of us in order to isolate you.

I really feel for you and I understand and respect what you have done. You have been placed in a very difficult position and as I say this could well have been deliberate.

What I can be sure of is that if events don't move positively in terms of the Rahic situation for me, I will personally pay for the fly by on my own if necessary.

 

Agree with the bottom part Fordy, i’d like to know how the flyover would damage the club? Quite ironic to say it would damage the club when the damage has already been done over the past 18 months. I don’t buy this theory that it would put off investment, anybody who is looking to invest in a football club needs thicker skin than that.

 

I can accept it, I just think your holier than thou attitude towards others stinks more than Edin’s reign.

 

My twopennth, there may be real and honest reasons why the flyover/protest was cancelled yesterday. However, until the news that Edin Rahic is gone and all ties with him and the club are over then it should only been a stay of execution. The pressure that has been brought to bear by the fans, media, ex-staff, players etc. had made a difference, it’s time for them to react to that pressure.

Bingley Bantams’ word, following their support of Rahic’s regime, plan, what ever you want to call it, since the tide turned against him, does not hold any credence in my eyes, I wouldn’t take anything they say at face value. I really hope that the rumours are true and that it will be announced that he is gone Monday/Tuesday next week. I no longer care what the reasons are behind it, money, non football matter, legal issues, I want him gone before he does more damage to our club. The longer this whole saga goes on, the harder it will be for the club to recover any trust with the fan base. It needs an urgent conclusion once and for all. Until Rahic is gone the club will not recover.

 

I am not particularly bothered about the money, it can go to charity. However, I would like to know what has been said to you that instigated the cancellation. I don’t think it is possible to have a sensible discussion on this open forum, as you can see their are those with their own agenda. What I don’t understand on any level is that you were not approached directly by the club ie Julian. They have known this was happening for some time, yet not until lunch time today were you approached by a member of Bingley Bantams and given information that instigated the cancellation.

I am not in anyway being critical of your decision to cancel and support your decision, but I am concerned that the club is operating in this duplicitous fashion. If it was important to stop the flyover then the club should have come to you directly.

 

Keep the money until after the January transfer and if things continue to put the club in danger then use the flyover then, If however things have improved then donate the money equally to the two causes mentioned, The threat of the flyover still hanging over certain peoples head will have a good effect keeping the pressure on

 

It's only three weeks back that this Citysince69 character was telling us of secret meetings with Rahic and couldn't possibly divulge the plans and aspirations for fear of scuppling the vision.
Now he's telling us Rahic is out of the equation and wheels are in motion that again he can't possible divulge.

My pet Cat could dicipher that due to the details coming from various media sources.

He gets 10% of the story, adds another 40% then says he can't indulge us with the rest as its confidential

He's just full of shit.
Don't fall for it.

 

Then answer it to someone else. We're being told it would damage the club but no evidence is there to support that.

Whispers aren't enough, "oh don't worry things will get better soon"

We need to know what is happening, soundbites aren't enough

 

I would say that @HUDDERSSBANTAM provides a real supporter's perspective, rather than a R&R lick-ars£ perspective on our current situation like you do.

You come across as somebody who gets a bit of a kick out of having links within and having a bit more power than your fellow supporters might.

It appears as though you want what's best to maintain your links to within the club rather than what the supporters want or what's best for Bradford City F.C moving forward.

 

What f##king marquee singing

 

The club don’t come out of this with any credit whatsoever. To put Jon in that impossible position is nothing short of emotional blackmail and at such short notice, and not giving him enough time to properly reflect and consult with the other 63 contributors is shabby to say the least. We may have come to the same decision in the end, but it would not have left Jon having to explain to all in sundry why he cancelled. Like lots of things we were promised transparency, openness and honesty have been binned.

On a separate note, we appear to attract snowflake investors!!

R&R are responsible for the mess we now find ourselves in, and the reason for the protest in the first place.
