    The worst that will happen is the crowd will chant 'Stuart, Stuart'
    Stuart will hold his hand up and then point at the pitch and the players in a motion to the crowd we have to get behind the team.
    Knowing him I think he might feel slightly embarrassed by the whole issue.

    It's bollocks there's a safety issue, it's Bradford City not West Ham or Blackpool and all the chanting of Stuarts name will only tell him and the chairmen we still love him.

    Safety??? Sounds like an answer you'd give when you've been put on the spot, and just blurt out something, anything. I don't think Stuart's in any danger.:D Now as for others...

    Kick-off approaches, the DJ plays some Tenpole Tudor: "Hoo-ra hoo-ra hoo-ra-ay, over the hills with the swords of a thousand men" rings out through VP. Suddenly, out of the mists appears Stu, claymore in hand, to lead the charge. The Shrews are put to the sword; Stu disappears back into the mists. The DJ plays "First we take VP, then we take League 1." Simon gives a positive post-match press conference, and all our fora settle down a bit.

    I think quite a few will be in breach of health and safety if Stuart let's off a claymore. If he fires it towards the midland road it might disturb their sleep......... :)

    Can we ban the word 'if' from posts? The eejits seem to think you can say anything as long as you put 'if' in there somewhere

    looks like Stuart has been confined to the South stand.. as far away from his Bradford hating fans as possible... what a joke..

    EDIN OUT!

    I noticed a sneaky comment about the players having grievances. I hate all this 'being professional' crap, I wish someone would just tell it like it is and call Edin a two hat.

    Shock and Awe! But it might still be a good idea to have a non-exploding back-up to hand...

    Y'know, I was actually thinking about the historical Scots weapon, and had forgotten that a modern mine had the same name.

    Maybe close season will be the time when truth comes out. Hendriie senior and McCall as well as the players may let down their professionalism.

    As I was at the game and only watched Stuart's comment on one of the screens at the back the Main Stand (it would have been great to have had subtitles), I do not have a clue what he actually said. Was there anything controversial?

    Can anyone do a clip of his input?

    The only thing he said was that the players must put their grievances aside and put in a performance. So nowt new as we all know that the players have a grievance for whatever issue.....

    I was really full of optimism when the new owners took charge I like the philosophy they have and I still think they have good intentions but by Christ someone needs to grab Edin by the scruff of the neck and tell him to think things through before he does stuff.

    I can understand why he doesn't want him there we need DO to move on but he must have known even a hint of this would cause unrest. Trying to Stop Stuart coming to VP is plain stupid.

    Brother in law is a Town fan, he’s just sent me this... interesting that other owners have this opinion

    Huddersfield Chairman is on for a Q & A here...talking about Bradford. Just said that the owners have absolutely got the best interests of Bradford City at heart and that they are really good guys. He says he knows McCall had dinner with the players 3 days after his sacking which he thinks is incredibly disrespectful. He also thinks McCall being at the game the other night is totally wrong.....’he shouldn’t be anywhere near as it undermines the club and Simon Grayson.’ Says McCall has seriously gone down in his estimations.

    Pretty strong words from a current chairman! To be honest like I said I can see why they didn't want him there and there is a part of me wondering why Stuart did it he must have known it would cause upset. I don't do Twitter and all that but I've just seen Jamie Lawrence has said 100% they tried to stop it happening so I've no doubt it did. Hindsight is a wonderful thing but they shouldn't have said anything just let it ride now.

    Parker obviously has a little axe to grind now so for me that's a relationship that needs fixing quickly.

    They all said they’ve heard it’s 100% true but then unwilling to expand.. for what it’s worth I imagine the club rang sky asking for someone else.. sky said no, this got out and was somehow twisted and the twisted version sent to Parker

    If it wasn't Jamie I would still have my doubts about it. It's not a big leap to think that he just spoke to Stuart about it who told him what had gone on. I can't imagine he would put that in the public domain if he wasn't certain it was true.

    I read an article in the T&A which suggests Parker is now rowing back from his 'the club tried to ban Stuart from VP' headline. He has now written ...

    "His appearance at the club for Sky duties last night – his first since being sacked two months ago – had been the pre-match talking point amid strong suggestions that the owners were not happy with the broadcasters over his presence."

    That's somewhat different from his original assertion and does lend credence to your suggestion. No mention of the club trying to ban him and nor any mention of his source who provided him with the original information. Hopefully this is the end of this silly sideshow and Parker will be a little more careful in the future in his choice of headlines.

    I don't think anyone doubts that they want the best for the club. However they have severely underestimated what it takes for a club at this level to be successful
