I wouldn't say crap but he has no interest in us as an ambitious football club.

 

No, because he came in got done over by Edin then learnt off Rhodes. No chance - Game over!

Boring accountant! Never ever works in football that. Drains ambition.

 

And that is where the issue is. Is there a credible plan? A plan that as a club we could afford and a site that is in Bradford and with a good chance of planning permission.

 

We need to be talking to others.

When did we have to go this alone??

 

I was there and the stands looked to have a decent amount in them. Certainly not one of those crowds

If you had the money would you buy Bradford City football club. How much would you be willing to lose because that's what happens to the vast majority of clubs below the premiership. They lose money at an alarming rate.

 

We didn't have over 15k there.

Yes, football is a loss maker but don't get involved unless you can afford to lose money but don't use the club as a bank.

Didn't Lawn change interest on a loan? See I don't mind him but him and Rhodes have no place to talk about fans when thy both let the club down selling to them two idiots.

 

Not sure how big it is but looking at Google maps there’s an area on the junction of Filey street and New Augustus Road just off Shipley Airedale Road which looks to be derelict. Close to city centre , interchange and leisure facilities.
Also plenty of parking to use in the business units nearby.
Like I say, don’t know if there’s enough space.

 

don’t think it would be big enough

 

No probably not. Can you do an aerial shot of VP to compare

 

getting same scale is always tricky. I usually compare width of the roads to see if they are similar scale.

Looking at VP I reckon it is between 8 and 9 acres including car parks that belong to club, excluding the whole school site

 

Are we so quick. This discussion has been going for years and we all have access to maps to look for sites. And so far no one has come up with a decent site with the exception of a Odsal base

 

See it’s comments like this which make Bradford City in truth a small club, The club is mega lazy!

We’re the 9th biggest City and you are telling me we can’t find anywhere? Behave mate.

Maybe, it’s a case of creating space. Buying houses/building and knocking them down if needs be to generate a larger area.

I’m not having that we can’t build anywhere. That’s utter, utter bollocks!

 

Shut up and get fooled by Boris Johnson - AGAIN!!!

 

We're still awaiting PROOF you paid the bet so I think its fair comment.

 

That or Odsal. The only viable practical alternatives. . . . . but both still require ££££££'SSSSSSSS

 

Yes, they do.

The cost of VP and the rent of pitches at the school is also costing us £££££££££££££££

 

All fair points and I'm not suggesting its easy. But I see other clubs with what I'd consider to be similar challenges, find ways to grow their clubs assets and improve its fortunes. The one genuine visionary we had demonstrated the potential of this club - I don't think that potential has gone away.

 

Magic beans by the lack of evidence.

 

Rupp, Investment, backers, partners. Where it will normally come from.

We can't service VP and the school though. Yes, we can cover costs but it is badly effecting us on the pitch now.

Rhodes outdated methods are not resulting in anything. No assets and poor on the pitch. I would rather us go to own something and build than operate like a crap pub team. Sorry, a least the pub will be owned.

 

Not my job.

The club should be in talks but if not Gibbs will be laughing - Again.
