    I've no problem organising it again, but why should WE be out of pocket when the driver is asleep at the wheel?

    Let HIM lose some money, even if it's just sales at the kiosks and match day tickets.

    Complete stadium boycott against, let's say, Swindon Town.

    If that doesn't get his attention, we'll fire up the plane.

    Boots on the ground first.

    A boycott with the fans gathered outside the stadium but not going in.

    Proper strike.

    Empty stadium.

    Hit this idiot in his pockets.

    They do that most matches anyway , A walk out 6 minutes in would be better

    Share it far and wide.

    Might need some 'ambassadors' on Saturday to spread the word.

    I heard it was a different German plane, time to get the Fokker out.

    Just the owner. The rest will fall more than likely, as a by product.

    And yes, I will happily contribute to any action. Happily.

    I said on here a few weeks ago I really feared for our survival this season even after the couple of wins we got to get to 40 points.
    Think @Idlebantam@Idlebantam was one who said there was no way we go down. We look closer to the trapdoor than ever not in terms of points really but performances. And we all know how this can carry over into the following season. Look at our time under Grayson then we couldn’t arrest the slide the season after and we finished dead last.

    Something has to change and Sparks is not the answer either. This club is a dead man walking and we are sleeping towards non-league. It’s happened to big clubs before and we won’t be too good to go down if we continue under this ownership. Mark my words. We are awful on and off the pitch.

    YES, we need to get our football club back and survive relegation, we don't want relegation out of the football league and that's where we are being led right now.

    Sparks is a joke, Rupp is a joke, whole club is a joke at the moment and we the fans need to save our football club!!

    I love Bradford City and I will not stand by and let jokers like Sparks and Rupp lead us all down the primrose path to local derbies against BPA at Horsfall, because if we get relegated, we'll get relegated again into the National League North, just like York City and Stockport County did.

    NEVER!!!!

    IT IS TIME TO TAKE OUR FOOTBALL CLUB BACK!!

    It needs a proper, coordinated fan response. And a significant boycott of games needs to be a key part. No papering over the cracks with a new manager. Dont be fooled. Any set up that has Rupp and Sparks running the show beyond this season, will destroy this club.

    The protests should have started well before now. We’ve sat on our hands for far too long. Protests work.. that’s been proven up and down the leagues. It’s not a quick process but it really does raise the profile of the shit were in and puts the squeeze on those at the top.

    YOUR POSITION IS untenable

    Let's make everyone aware, give it a week, if people don't want to commit to it and get pissed off then we could do the plane as a minority thing.

    But I actually don't think there's any support for Rupp in the stands.

    I think everyone understands the situation enough, not like with Rahic where people weren't quite sure that he's crap.

    Should have been done a while ago unfortunately. Our near 120 FL existence is now at stake, if not this year than next. Year on year regression leads to one thing…

    Happy to contribute.

    I won't be there. My boycott is the form of an afternoon pub crawl around Bingley instead.

    Boycott first is the best idea. Agree with @JonButterfield@JonButterfield, that has the best impact visually, and financially - a short term hit that he certainly couldn’t cope with financing if it developed into people staying away, long term. You have to hope plenty will boycott and meet at the ground, as Jon also said before, it is important to respect the views of supporters that still wish to attend, might seem obvious but there’s always one or two. Any good will PR for the fans boycotting would disappear rapidly if there was shown to be any negativity from those opting not to go to the game towards those that do want to.

    It’s not exactly difficult for me to boycott, so I take my hat off to those that will do it are trying to do something proactive to send our owner a clear message that the way we are heading will no longer just be accepted.

    I'm planning stuff to do instead.

    It's a really ridiculous situation, I've never felt like this before.

    Most likely I'll be in the cinema.

    On a serious note, Ukraine is a wonderful place and the people are lovely.

    All the best to them

    Problem is not enough will get involved in waiting outside and 50% are already boycotting , A plane banner means every one gets to see it and probably makes the news
