    Morrison’s are only marginally in Bradford, first chance they got they moved to within about 50 yards of the leeds border. There’s no chance of them ever sponsoring us.

    Next move they make will be out of Bradford, that’s how much they care for the city that built their empire

    The border on that side of the road is actually the pitches we train on. Other side of the path towards the school is Leeds.

    Yep. That is how I understood it. The west side of Apperley Lane is actually Bradford, whereas the east side is the neighbouring Local Authority. So the JCT headquarters as far as I can see it is in Leeds. http://observatory.bradford.gov.uk/resource/view?resourceId=3881

    However JCT suggests its address is ‘JCT600 Head Office, telephone 0113 250 2600 , Apperley Bridge, Bradford, West Yorkshire’. So a Leeds telephone number but a Bradford post code. Still Ilkley and Menston both have LS postcodes.

    In this instance post codes are irrelevant. If they are in the Metropolitan area we get the business rates in Bradford.

    I don’t think Edin will be the first or last chairman in history to have problems or “issues” with people who are sponsors or work at the club.

    It’s business. People fall out. But we were told and lead to believe by so many that it was all horrible and the club had a bad name. And yet more and more sponsors sign up or re sign. Not quite adding up all these rumours are they?

    I know what will come back. But you can’t prove that there wasn’t issues. I could literally make anything up and say well you don’t know it wasn’t true in the first place.

    How certain are we about this falling out with sponsors? Does it fall in line with all the other rumours since proven to be bollox?

    Which rumours have been proven to be bollox and what exactly is it that you're regarding as "proof"?

    Good news after Tordoff allegedly showed interest in buying the club back as part of a consortium of some kind.

    This suggests he was not entirely happy with the direction of the club, but obviously he is happy enough to continue as main sponsor, which is great news!

    People believing rumours instead of facts presented before them.

    Suppose that’s why the sun and red tops made an industry from it

    JCT and Mittons have a long standing relationship with City long before Edin came along.

    Mittons have a box and attend home and away. They'd be associated with the club if Peter Sutcliffe was chairman.

    Morrisons have never really been interested in City.

    Alfred Ayrton also saved City (and created it). That was a very long time ago, and so is 1973/74. In reality Ken Morrison’s personal involvement with City is now distant history, it is what the massive supermarket chain has done since then, that is the issue for many fans.

    As some of us pointed out would happen. Not that it's particularly surprising, bosses have to learn from their errors or perish
