    Look, I don’t think it’s happening either.

    However, the club is just lazy and use the city is poor until the houses come home. It’s not that poor.

    As for knocking on the door of the Championship or being it. I doubt it will happen in your life time with our current business model.

    Hey guys its Match Day lets chill. Setting off soon to my Daughters to watch Newport v City on ifollow .

    My opinion regarding City moving to a new stadium it will never happen as Fordy117 says the club needs to be in talks with Gibb .
    I had a trip over on Wednesday for our booster jabs with Mrs Rocket . I do like my urban walking so we had a walk round
    Little Germany to see where Jay had been filming, parts of the area not to bad but needs development. Next stop Corn Dolly only four people in enjoyed my Boltmakers though. Then strolled back into the city centre up Godwin Street. Mrs Rocket came out with "Bradford's a shit hole I want to go home" .

    100%. A lot of Bradford people need to understand this and install it in their life.

    My feeling is Rhodes, Lawn, Rupp and co just don’t care enough. Go back to Leeds and holiday in their holiday home then play the poor card then the poor city card then the we have a club club. Load of bollocks!

    Find a way!

    Our ground costs us £1m a year in rent, so a lot more than Walsall.

    Yeah, from what I remember associated costs plus rent comes to somewhere upwards of a million. When comparing there needs to be a fair comparison of what teams who do rent are getting for their money and what all their associated costs are.

    Can you break that down? Could you back your comments up with any printed link? Curious to see the actual components.

    Walsall's rent is set by and collected by the owner of the club, He determines what the club pay in rent to his own company

    Absolutely. As you'll know Ulysses, it's not just rent you pay on a business property, you're usually also responsible for its maintenance and upkeep. That'll edge them towards a million, I'd guess.

    Do Walsall not have any other costs except their rent?

    Yep l thought we paid £434,000 for the stadium, not sure what we pay for the training facility. I questioned @weewhiskydram@weewhiskydram ’s figure of £1,000,000 so far no reply.:unsure:
