    you can't wonder why people having a go at you when you just can't resist getting a dig in about this banner at every possible opportunity.

    its happening. its been funded. if you don't agree with it then fine, just don't take any notice, hell look away or go to the loo while its overhead if you want, but fact is, a lot of people have put up hard earned money and think its worth it, and it is happening, tomorrow or next home game if the weather won't allow. you don't have to take a jibe at it or its contributors unprovoked every time you log on.

    You have made several derogatory comments about the fly by banner. Everybody understands that you aren't in favour of it but a small number of fans have raised the funds to pay for it as a sign of the fans' frustration with the current owners behaviour both on and off the pitch. It may not be your thing but this small group aren't just sitting on their backsides and letting things which they disagree with develop around them. In their own way and with their own money, they are doing something about it.

    What you haven't done as yet is to respond to any of the questions about the 7,000 fans who have done something different. Just to remind you, that's the 3,000+ who saw the writing on the wall last spring and chose not to renew their season tickets. And the 4,000 or so who did renew but have subsequently voted with their feet and have chosen to stay away from VP. Instead of being selective with your advice and concentrating on the fly by, what's your advice to these two different groups of fans?

    What ever happened last season short of promotion sales were going to be well down. In fact we thought they may fall even further. 15000 is a decent figure. I appreciate that this season has been a disaster and people are now voting with their feet as those who are not fully committed always do in those circumstances. I put the blame for our problems on the field this season firmly at the door of Edin and the terrible managerial appointment. And the signings even though not many were complaining when we made them.
    I think the criticism of Edin on the whole has been over the top but realise things now are so bad things have to change.
    I don’t believe in boycotting because that could put the club out of business. And flyovers are just stupid in my opinion.
    As with all conflicts the solution is talking and persuasion and bcst are showing the way even though they are ridiculed by the usual suspects.

    @Park bantam@Park bantam .... seriously that is not a sensible statement at all. Very disappointing.

    What happened regarding season tickets you said it was all down to juniors not getting renewed when this was debated before the season started and to say those voting with their feet are not committed supporters I think you should ask a group that go in my local as 6 of them have been going for 65+ years and all have stated they won't return until rahic goes .

    It is because committed people don’t miss matches because of the owners just like they don’t attend because of them. Support your team and let politics take care of itself

    I'll begger to differ Park. I'm not sure commitment can be a reason to restrict personal freedoms...

    I can get that mate, but just when do you do something, be it a protest, or stop attending if the said politics don't get better, just carry on purchasing season ticket because it's what we do as Bradford City fans.
    This scenario has been caused by two men one who thinks he knows more and better than anyone else and the other for being a part of it and not questioning Edin until it was too late and possible irretrievable damage being done, certainly with regards this season.

    That wasn't the question it was have you been to every game this season home and away plus Cup games a yes or no will do.

    It's not politics though is it? That's a very naive statement. We can't vote on Edin and we can't vote on Rupp. We have no official vote on our owners. We can't vote them out of power if we dislike them. Just rubbish you are talking.

    We have supported our team...been very well supported, home and away but it's made no difference because they are not up to League 1 standard, end of!

    It's the fans fault that we missed out on all the good players!

    I go further and say that all our problems go back to the time Edin became the Director of Football. He has failed in his appointments. If he did not want McCall in the first place he should not have appointed him.

    Talking and persuasion can be very effective if there is a realistic chance that it will occur in an open manner, without a fixed mind set. One meeting after the famous pronouncement at the beginning of September, is not an ongoing dialogue, it could be seen as mere ‘tokenism’!
