Point. Missed. Spectacularly..

 

What would be appreciated would be to hear something from our owner or Julian regarding the clubs views and plans, the lack of contact to fans does not help.
Just been watching Mark Palios the Tranmere Rovers owner being interviewed he has spoken about there pitch being relayed and needing twelve weeks to develop it. Talked about contingency plans asking the league if they could play first few games away from home. He also said the players would get a week off from training and sports scientists are devising a programme for players. Also looked at the Port Vale site yesterday they were extending a couple of players contracts some clubs are trying to be positive.
I know times are difficult but as fans, season ticket holders members and sponsors we do need more from the club. If I heard something positive I would renew my family’s season tickets early but not at the moment.

 

If this is the end, let's go out in style!!

 

I say that in regards to every single day of the calendar year, brother!

 

There’s hundreds of examples where the game was played but city never turned up. Do they count

 

On a serious note we talks about how VP needs improving and the toilets come into that. Unfortunately, now people are taking wash their hands seriously. I feel when this virus hopefully goes away that football clubs will have to improve their hygiene. It's going to cost Bradford City a lot but that's what happens when you don't improve- it ends up costing more when the time comes.

It will be interesting to know if they will be plenty of hand sanitiser at VP on Saturday. Is this something Paula is looking into @wetherbywhaler ?

 

Up to now the home form has masked how truly poor the away form has been and worse so, the performances. We’ve had nothing like the consistency of performances or form to warrant a play off finish. Saturdays dismal display at a time when players shouldn’t need any more incentive other than achieving a play off finish, proves to me this squad don’ deserve it.

Naturally, I’ll always be behind my team and have hope until it’s mathematically not possible. However Saturday was a line in the sand moment for this season for me. If I could go back to a period in the season and say we were truly as good as we could possibly have been, then there’s case we deserve something. Some might say it’s the results that count, not performance, and perhaps theres some truth in that. However the only consistency I can call upon this season is that we’ve been way below par and lucky to be anymore near the play offs at this stage.

We might get a reaction and result against Orient, however it means nothing to me if it’s not followed up with the same outcome against Port Vale, which I highly doubt will happen.

 

We should have known this when buying him.

 

Hmm yeah John I should concentrate on the football ,it was just something that came up in a conversation. Back on to Orient Saturday looking forward to Andy Tyne the well know Corn Dolly man chatting in the Records Bar about Football and World War 1 this will be pre match. On to the game
3-0 to City then celebrating after with a couple bottles of Corona with a slice of Lime . I believe Josh Wright is unavailable for the match as he is over in Dubai in self quarantine .

 

If you listen to the scientists on this issue. What they are saying is children have a mild version of this virus, and therefore not at high risk. If they have symptoms the whole family need to self isolate for 7 days and keep their distance from their grandparents. That serves two purposes, it not only protects the elderly community, but also provides immunity within the community, the more ppl who have this virus and recover the more immunity builds up.
We are all learning, and not one person has the answer, if you shut the country down, how do you know it won’t all flare up again.

 

I agree, there is no way now that we will get to the seasons end, whole Arsenal team and some Notts Forest players now in isolation and surely more players throughout the league will succumb to the virus so I reckon there's no point now of risking the large crowds especially for those of us of a certain age, so i'm done now 'til August anyway....

 

I don't know what the long term solution is but making the season void isn't one. There would be lawsuits galore from clubs who have missed out on promotion or been relegated.

Then clubs at our level can't afford to play behind closed doors because the financial impacts are huge. So the only way that works is if the EFL and PL decide to help clubs out and send some of that TV money our way to cover the losses.

 

We do training....?

 

It says on the interweb that its "elite" games that are postponed, does that include our spineless lot too? (sorry if this had already been mentioned)

 

I am going to watch and enjoy Cheltenham this afternoon, it will probably be the last sport to watch for a while

 

Yeah, but it would still be great to see them kicking off!

 

If the season is declared void, do we get Bowyer, Doyle and Patrick back?
