    A quick update (no sarcasm intended), as I read it ...............

    Rupp is to continue his financial backing of City - But to what degree, only he will know.
    Rhodes is extending his stay, as COO - Only he and Rupp will know for how long.
    As published in the T&A ...... Forward planning is starting NOW - Rhodes wants to hit pre season with all the ground work done, including Key backroom staff in place.
    So for me ...... It's a positive and early start, rather than wait until the end of season.

    As for the rest of your post - GREAT - No argument from me. I just can't see any benefit in fans boycotting or leaving early. I may not like supporting this group of 'players' - But MY support is for BCAFC, not individuals. :)

    In an ideal world Ronnie
    50 years following city through thick and thin has made me slightly sceptical am afraid
    Wouldnt turn up at all "just like the players" if it wasnt for the memorium
    To play the game in an empty stadium (Wombles apart) may just bring a few home truths to roost
    Have my season ticket for next season so i am supporting the club
    How much use it gets depends on events of this summer

    Good to hear, Steve. :)
    I have become more pragmatic in my advancing years - And I confess to supporting City is often like being Married ! :eek:
    Even in separation, or divorce ...... You still have 'feelings'.

    Reading 'between the lines', I get the impression that the good work done by our ambassadors is being recognised and appreciated, again.
    Here on Bantam Talk, we have recently experienced valued updates from both Wetherby Whaler and Glenn Ackroyd. :)

    You are literally talking rubbish now! The only time I would sanction downing tools is if they don’t get paid. What is the point in having a manager, if we allow the players to take control of who they will have as a manager. You blame the board, Hopkin and now Bowyer. I watched that game on Saturday and not one of them were on the pitch. The players need to grow up and take responsibility for their own performances and stop blaming every Tom Dick and Harry. Fans like you need to stop making excuses for poor performances on the pitch. Edin Rahic can take the lions share of the blame for this mess, for putting our club in this precarious financial situation, and for recruitment and not making sure we had the right characteristics in players and the right players for the positions we needed, and that is just this season.

    If ManU and Chelsea want to behave like dicks that is up to them, but I am not having it!!

    Only feelings i have had this season are of disdain
    Updates on here are one thing
    Progress on the pitch is something else

    At not one point did I say it was acceptable!! Stop acting like a drama queen.

    Players down tools- it happens. It happens at semi pro level and it happens at professional level.

    Man Utd and Chelsea are examples. If a manager has rubbish man management skills the tools will get downed.

    Fans like me need to stop making excuses for poor performances on the pitch! Is this a joke? I told you all O'Connor was useless months ago! I told you all Payne needed dropping at a point of the season! I told you all Bill Clarke was a poor signing! I told you all Chicksen is rubbish! I am not affaid to say it how it is!

    However, Collins and Hopkin were not the right managers for the club and I can't blame the players for wanting them out. The board/Edin made the wrong decisions. That is clear!

    It happens, its modern football. Wake up!

    Doubt it, don't they all have to kick off same time when last match of season so as not to influence promotion and relegation issues...

    I think you'll find they are all 5.30 kick offs in League 1 on the final day and 3.00 in League 2. That's so all the promotion and relegation games in both leagues can be covered.

    That is true but it is so they can be shown on SKY Football and Red Button.

    If it was just so they kicked off at same time then what is wrong with 3pm like most Saturdays

    That would hold if they were all 3pm, unless some/all League One are on TV

    I have renewed for next season, I'll always renew, Bradford City football club is in my blood. they were my first love. you could argue they let me down more than any woman ever could and believe me a lot let me down all the time, but i'll still be a Bradford supporter despite all that.

    however, I am completely done with this season. I have next to zero intention of going back to VP this season. I cannot identify with any of those players in C&B, and I cannot sit and watch them continue to disrespect the shirt, coast through games, and giving up without any sort of fight any longer. it is no good for my health!
