    What difference does something being true make?

    I could call someone an Arsehole and while it possibly might be true it certainly wouldn't be mature or befitting if I was an influencial figure in an official branch of a Bradford City travel club.

    I have no idea what point you are trying to make here. I am guessing you are close to the founder of Wilsden Bantams? If so you should know better than to question any comment I may have made about them.

    In 30 years I have very rarely used travel clubs so it's nothing to do with any other branch but If you genuinely can't see the point I'm making then don't worry about it. As you were.

    Sod it, against my better judgement I'll spell it out.

    As you use the site for official adverts for the Bingley Bantams then every post you make with the same account represents the Bingley Bantams in some way.

    It's really not rocket science.

    To be fair, he was right though, as it all ended rather quickly.

    Actually you have! “Bingley bantams will be charging everybody members travel rates to Fleetwood and Blackpool to help out with the planned rail issues on those weekends”. https://bantamtalk.com/index.php?threads/bingley-bantams.697/#post-90465

    For the avoidance of doubt, there is absolutely nothing wrong with you as an individual or as an Official of Bingley Bantams 'advertising' your activities on Bantam Talk. There is a dedicated page in the Bradford City section of Bantam Talk, 'Away Travel option & supporters branch details' https://bantamtalk.com/index.php?forums/away-travel-option-supporters-branch-details.24/ Bantams Talk is happy to promote information which can benefit supporters.

    Did I not see a headline in the paper stating that rahic and Bradford city have parted. Yes he may hold 22% but he isn't at the club ie left hopefully never to return. Is this correct. Don't take it personally that you was made to look daft by saying show me so big Rod did just that. So now who's failed.

    Out of interest has it ever been confirmed his actual ownership percentage?

    Did @Dennis@Dennis ever get to the bottom of who owned what percentage of the German Holding company that own the club?

    I don't meant to butt in, but I feel that if Bingley Bantams, Park and Banbrotam could just all get together and agree to admit they backed the wrong horse I feel it'd go a long way to getting them a bit more respect on these boards than continuing to argue the indefensible.

    Banbrotam won't do it, he likes to be in the minority. He's a bit like the other "Mr different" on here that would argue night was day if he fancied it. Backs it up with decent knowledge and well constructed points though to be fair to him.

    Park? Is just park, people have learnt to more or less ignore him now. Every now and then he'll make a valid point but he reminds me of a maths class dunce just randomly shouting out numbers. Eventually he's bound to get one right much to the rest of the classes amazement.

    And I daren't say anything about City since 67 as apparently it will have catastrophic consequences for the club by deterring non existent investors and plunge us into the brink of administration again.

    I backed no horse. When the two came in I thought they had some decent ideas and to be fair what they have done on the pitch and the new in-house shop and ticketing system and even being for probably the first time being able to hear the loudspeaker on the kop. I thought they were right to sack Stuart but since then everything they have done has been disastrous. However Edin is not the Devil incarnate I met him a couple of times as have others I know and he seemed a very decent bloke to talk to. So balance is needec

    Agree with a lot you say. I think they should have ‘backed’ Stuart, rather than sacked him, but no individual, including Stuart is beyond the health of our club!
    However in respect of Edin, do you think he may well have behaved towards you in a ‘decent’ bloke manner because:- (a) you did not challenge his views, (b) you were not a competitor, (c) you were a customer and (d) because you were independent of him he could not intimidate you (unlike an employee).
    Is that balanced enough for you?

    I thought that it was well understood now. The shareholding is 77.5% to Rupp and Rahic 22.5%. There are no other owners and nobody who has any other claims on their respective shares and despite what some have inferred, no mystery people in the background ready to pounce if Rahic doesn't meet some unknown debt repayments. And that was still the case as of yesterday.

    And the club's website is still showing R&R as ultimate joint-owners despite Rahic's name being dropped as chairman of the Board

    That just about puts it in a nutshell mate, a thoroughly decent bloke, who took on something he had no previously experience in and once he got that position was very reluctant to listen to others who were getting paid to do their job and others who had the experience and offered it were ignored.
