    Bit late ya think - he/they are perfectly aware of the resentment but couldn't care less. If you want to fly a banner somewhere, find out where his beloved racing team are and arrange one there.

    Not a bad idea.

    Surely Rupp will give an update this week? Surely?

    How many names can be listed? This banner might end up stretching down the M62.

    Sparks arrogance knows no bounds it's going to take a lot to get to him or Rupp. The thing with flyovers is they get airtime on TV outlets, If it could be done Friday along with the protests it adds to the cauldron that's bubbling. We need to cause as much disruption during games as possible so that the media get hold of it. Including German tv

    It should have gone up the first time and perhaps we wouldn't have been in this mess.

    LOL

    I think you are vastly overstating interest in the travails of Bradford City.

    Flyovers are performative nonsense, there are far more effective forms of protest.

    Of course there is but it's taken 20 years of utter failure for a chant away at Harrogate to prevail. So gotta take the opportunity when it comes and that is now

    He knows the discontent and anger among the fans.
    He saw it with his own eyes last week.
    A ground two thirds empty
    Team spirit non existent.
    Fans openly questioning his tenure and waving notes at him.
    I suspect he will also be aware of dwindling season ticket renewal numbers.

    He’ll also be aware of another total capitulation today in front of 1200 loyal fans.

    I’m 100% not knocking the intention but I’m not sure what else he has to see to understand that the whole club is currently on its arse.
    Sacking Sparks will show he has some understanding and may get a few fans back.
    The refusal to do this will just show that nothing is going to make him realise what a shitshow we are rapidly becoming.

    Whats the point on wasting money on an arrogant tool who thinks hes doing no wrong.

    Hit them where it hurts and simply dont put another penny into that sham till hes gone

    Whilst I supported the flyover last time, I don't believe it will have the right impact now.

    Rupp cannot be unaware of the concerns of the fans. He witnessed it first hand against Notts County and hopefully was already aware over declining attendances over the past few months. Unless Sparks is deliberately hiding the truth, those declining attendances will already be impacting season ticket sales for next season. Unless he's an idiot (and I don't believe he is) he can't be ignoring how fans feel about the situation. A flyover won't change any of that.

    The problem we will still have is that until Rupp sells up, it will be more of the same with an uninterested owner and an incompetent CEO in charge. Everything else follows from that. Rupp will know in his heart of hearts that his investment is falling by the week but for some strange reason does nothing about it in terms of selling the club at a realistic price. Maybe the mere threat of relegation to the NL will bring about a change in his own thinking? Hopefully so. Without a change in his own mindset, little will change for the better at VP.

    Absolutely not on the last day. A day of remembrance, not protests.

    A better idea would be to have an advert on the electronic billboard at the top of Burlington Terrace
