    So out of a constituency of 41 about 16 voted to protest. Wow just wow! Disperse that around three sides of the ground (unless a token one wants to approach the visiting fans), then this will be the equivalent to about 5 individuals per Stand.

    Personally things are on hold for now in respect of any action, although I stress Edin needs to earn my trust, which he has dissolved, through his obvious and probable actions.

    I'm not quite sure that's what he/she is saying. It seems to be he/she has heard about a protest that's happening and just asking his/hers followers if they agree or disagree.

    Fair enough. However I think things should be on hold for now.

    Did anyone go to the Shipley Bantams meeting? The one where Edin started to placate the fans. It would be interesting to have some feedback.

    I agree we should give Hopkin half a chance first.

    There’s a relatively closed circle that is actively organising a Anti-Rahic protest for the Bristol Rovers home game.

    From what I know only a few dozen are going to be taking part.

    That should be a right laugh. Are they coming en masse in a fleet of uber taxi's for full effect?

    It will be timed just right for the harvest festival where they can all receive free fruit and vegetables from the One in a million school at the same time. Saves the kids visiting the homes.

    Yes it is. We're got a big banner with Rahic out on it, Mark Lawn masks and a cardboard cut out of Stuart McCall.

    Who has been designated with the honour of holding the SM cardboard cut out?

    Why the Bristol Rovers game? Why didn’t they ‘protest’ at the Charlton match? What has Rahic done in the intervening spell since he sacked Collins and appointed Hopkin, so that they need to protest now, but didn’t in the past? Or is it a case they were so disorganised that they couldn’t get their act together? Mmmm yes these guys can lead the way. :(

    What has Hopkin got to do with the protest?

    I thought it was a "Rahic Out' protest and not a 'Let's wait and see whether Hopkin turns it around first for Rahic" protest? Won't thst make the banner too big for the bi-plane?

    ;)

    Perhaps this protest is something on the lines of, ‘Lets give Rahic a chance’ and ‘Hopkin Out’? I am sure they will find a brewery somewhere to hold a .......;);)

    I haven't heard any vocal protests at games so far, Fleetwood was not nice at the end but that was the last game of Collins tenure at the club.
    I believe the appointment of Collins was the main reason for the unrest he had to go but there was only Edin who could make that decision hence the threat of future protests became focused on Edin.

    I'd think he should be when that equates to over £300k a year

    I wish we had the old fit Andrew Davies in our team now, he was too brave for his own good at times.

    So I've decided, to ignore all these 'protesters' because I don't think they will happen and at the moment Hopkin and the team need our support.

    Now for me I've decided that I'm going to spend the remainder of the season giving Hopkin and the squad my support. You all know my feelings on the owners so I'll not dwell on that any longer. It's going to take an awful lot for the owners to get any support or trust from myself.

    But I love Bradford City and I want to show my support for the team, even during these dark times.

    So as my own personal protest I'm going to avoid home games for the remainder of the season and only go to away games.

    This way I can show the team my support and it's a stand I'm taking that I'm unhappy with how the owners have ran the club and moving forward I'll continue supporting Hopkin and the lads by attending away games only.

    I spend a lot of hard earned cash flying over from Ireland for the games, I had a lot of fun at Shrewsbury away, not because we won, because I enjoy the atmosphere much more than when I was at the Charlton game. If I'm going to spend money I'll do it supporting Hopkin and the team, Not Edin and Stefan.
