Mark Lawns comments in T and A today

Not that many arabs in Bradford with £32,000,000,000 to spare...

 

All for the Gibb family I’ve always been told, if it’s for the flamingo land staff then christ almighty they are all laughing at us

 

Thanks Dennis. Clearly it’s a pension fund charged with making money for its beneficial members as per the legislation?

 

Chuckle, £32 perhaps?

 

Why. That’s what Pension funds are supposed to do. Mine do.

 

If Rupp was to fund it in that way, as owners have done with other clubs, it would almost certainly be a new company set up and owned by Rupp which owns the ground and rents it to us, so we'd be in no different a position except we'd have left our rightful home for a mecanno stadium and potentially have a white elephant round our necks or be in thrall to an ex-owner who wants to milk every last drop from us to make up for funds lost after an acrimonious split

 

None of it makes logical sense because we have crap owner.

 

Only fool believes the numbers that are being bashed out at our home games.

No way we had over 15k in last Saturday. Not a chance!

 

I'm not saying its easy. But other, 'smaller' clubs find ways. Why can't we? We seem handcuffed to a mentality of 'no can do'. We just f*****g moan. Victims. Hard to sign players in January. Or the Summer. Hard division to get out of . Rents too expensive. Be grateful to have a club. Etc

 

There is a difference.

And to be clear, I don't think the ground is worth buying, because it would presumably only be available to buy at a level that's much higher than its worth. I think the way to go is a credible plan for a new stadium that we're either willing to follow through on, or use as leverage for more favourable terms on rent.

 

Others find away mate barring us because we have far too many people holding the club back.
We have an owner that's utter rubbish really.
Lazy fan base that I believe the club use this we can't go above our station mindset while living in Leeds

Find a way! The Rhodes boring methods should be over but no because the shadow of Rhodes hangs in there.

 

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.

 

Bulls?

The site is still an issue.

someone suggested Drummond Mills. That site is just over 7 acres. The pitch alone is 1.5, so add in the bit around the edge and you are talking 2 acres just for the playing area.

 

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.
