Is there any point supporting Bradford City any more?

    We have no positives, the owner doesn't care, the management don't care, there is no team, the players don't care and the fans are losing the will to live.

    Nearly 60 years of supporting City and I don't feel it any more.

    It used to be a great game.

    City is so much more than the current owner, management and players. It will hopefully still be here long after they have gone. I'm not happy about the state of things at the moment but I'm not ready to give up on the club I have supported for 50 years yet, and I know that deep down, neither are you.

    I’ve supported the club through much worse periods than we are currently in, I can only assume the OP hasn’t

    No I just read the title , you don’t care but have started a thread on a city forum on a Saturday evening, you’ve probably answered your own question

    Started supporting City when I was very young, around 2002/3. Saw nothing but relegation's until the Parky years and still kept coming.
    No guarantees in football but the high high's are always worth the lowest of lows.

    And if Barton walks through the door, that'll just put the tin hat on things.

    I think this is a very good question and I'd love to answer it. But having supported the club for over 60 years I'm afraid my response would go into several pages and would bore people to death. So to cut it short my answer is probably no.

    As a rider, family have stopped going, friends have dwindled from many to two. Hard to keep going. Very sad, but that's my reality.

    To put it more bluntly the club is owned by a German who couldn't care less about it, the CEO isn't a Bradfordian and will no doubt disappear in due course, the players are journeymen who'll disappear when a better offer comes up. Not one of them, apart from some of the juniors, has any connection to the city. As a Bradfordian, what have we got to get behind except our memories?

    Sorry mate. Wish I could have a pint/coffee/tea/water with you and chat it all through. Until then, take care of yourself.

    This post cannot be serious surely.

    We are in our fifth season back in League Two. We are 16th, out of both cup competitions and are on our second caretaker manager of the season and it's the first week of November. What is there to be positive about?

    Isn't that similar for most teams?

    The ownership, is similar to the vast majority of Premier League Clubs and the Championship.

    I thought Sparks was a local lad, have you any evidence that he isn’t?

    The players are no different in where they originate from than most clubs. Can you provide historic Bradford City squads where most of the players were born in the Bradford MBC area?

    I go to watch City as it is my club, l get behind that.
