    what a waste of 5 mins of my life. Utter dogshit.

    And slagging the club off like that giving bad press isn't the best way to develop a trusting relationship with the club.

    I can't be doing with this 'hard to find the money stuff' and I'm a bleeding heart, wishy washy, lefty.

    Every season you need to renew and you know pretty certainly how much our tickets are going to be each year. You budget and put away an amount each month to work towards it. We've actually had more time than ever to save for a ticket. I know times are hard for some people right now so if you can't afford it then that's the way it is. Sit it out for a season.

    Going to football isn't a birthright of the working class. It's a luxury that people can spend their disposable income on if they choose to.

    Imagine having to pay for the following season. The prices were announced before the COVID lockdown, what more do they want

    Well the article has now disappeared.

    I wonder if it was pulled beacuse of:
    1. a complaint from Cardiff;
    2. a complaint from Bradford City;
    3. both of the above; or
    4. due to the embarrassment of one of the contributors.

    Yeah, and to be fair if you can't afford a ticket this season because of the economic climate and the jobs crisis or whatever, the club 'cutting it fine' won't make a jot of difference.

    If someone's situation has taken a turn for the worse, which it could well have done, a few weeks more notice period isn't going to fix anything, unfortunately.

    Prices were announced in December. When exactly did he want them announcing? Are we leaving it late now for 2021/22?

    Heads up to anybody out there who might want a season ticket in 2021/22. It'll be around £150-200 for an adult ticket and £100-125 for a junior. Get saving if you can afford it.

    Manny has a point. You should be able to get a BCFC season ticket on Universal Credit :)

    Shame we can't get players on it too, we might have been able to sign a right back.

    I agree wholeheartedly.... but purely for medical reasons. Last seasons football was a cure for insomnia.

    Don’t know how the Trust can be still relevant. Their backing of Edin right to the end showed how far out of touch they really were/ are. How many members do they have? Is it just Manny’s little political platform? It’s a real embarrassment that he ‘represents’ Bradford City fans at a national level on the FSF. Now he represents the Supporters Board, it would be a disgrace if that went down the same path of the Trust into irrelevance. Time for his comrades to take action and pack him off to Siberia!

    Here you go


    We took the decision to unpublish the story last night after receiving representations from various parties who were referenced or who had an interest in the feature. Next week my colleagues who lead our EFL/supporter engagement work will endeavour to speak to all parties (e.g. club officials and pertinent supporters' organisations) to determine next steps.

    Many thanks,
    Michael
    The FSA
